2. Pocket-hole joinery - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocket-hole_joinery

   Some woodworkers lay out their project before drilling their pocket holes and mark the face of the board that they want to drill to ensure the hole is in the correct location. Most pocket joints are made by screwing into the face or the edge of the board rather than the end grain because the screw will grab better.

3. Gimlet (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gimlet_(tool)

   A gimlet is a hand tool for drilling small holes, mainly in wood, without splitting. It was defined in Joseph Gwilt's Architecture (1859) as "a piece of steel of a semi-cylindrical form, hollow on one side, having a cross handle at one end and a worm or screw at the other". [1] A gimlet is always a small tool.

4. Brace (tool) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brace_(tool)

   A brace is a hand tool used with a bit (drill bit or auger) to drill holes, usually in wood. Pressure is applied to the top while the handle is rotated. If the bit's lead and cutting spurs are both in good working order, the user should not have to apply any pressure other than for balance: the lead will pull the bit through the wood.

5. Drill bit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drill_bit

   The gimlet bit is a very old design. The bit is the same style as that used in the gimlet, a self-contained tool for boring small holes in wood by hand. Since about 1850, gimlets have had a variety of cutter designs, but some are still produced with the original version. The gimlet bit is intended to be used in a hand brace for drilling into wood.

6. Wood auger - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wood_auger

   The classical design has a helical screw blade winding around the bottom end of the shaft. The lower edge of the blade is sharpened and scrapes the wood; the rest of the blade lifts the chips out of the way. It is powered with two hands, by a T-shaped handle attached to the top of the shaft.
