Brilliant thank you.

How long do you need?

Bryan Milham:
I have a couple of Shell Augers but I also have a 8mm Lip & Spur bit welded to the end of a long rod, it came with a lathe I bought some time ago.
I've not used it but have rolled it on a flat surface and the welding is true. So it can be done.

Twisted Trees:
I made a long boring kit by taking a block of timber about 8" long and 1½" square, drilled an 8mm hole through it length ways, marked the TOP (any face would do) and cut it in half, then I enlarged the 8mm to a 10mm hole on one block.

Put a 10mm drill bit through one hole, and an 8mm (actually used threaded bar as that is what I had but anything will do so long as it is smaller than the drill bit) position it carefully weld it up grind off the splatter (I am not great at welding) then I welded some more as a T handle on the end and I have a drill bit that will go all the way through a lamp.

I have a vb 36 with a very large tail stock so I will need to add around 18" in additin to the usual length of the auger
