Well, until Harold shows, You Suck!
Nice haul. My shop yearns for a 6" brace.

Thanks Harold, I really needed that. Hope you guys are getting thawed out up that way. It's been a long winter.

Hey Jim Koepke,
I got to thinking about what you said about your shop needing a six inch brace, and if I run across another, I will try to get it to you. You have helped so many including yours truly. I would like to give you some payback. We have heard you say you needed one several times. I hope I can find one in better shape than this one. Thanks Jim for all your help.
Harold,
God has a plan for each and everyone of us. I hope you have a warm and fuzzy, and blessed day.
Thanks to all for the help and advice.
Sincerely, Joe

Thanks Joe, this is sure to make my day a bit brighter.
I do not really need a 6" brace, it is more of a "tool lust" affair. Kind of like planes, chisels or any other tool. Once you have one you want the whole set.

That's the insulating effect of tar and feathers.

I love the short sweep braces, they're always so well preserved.
I'm using the 10" sweep, because it does the work.
The little ones are no better for my hole punching
than an Eggbeater or better still, Yankee with a sharp bit.
The Yankee push drills are under-rated and always work.

Boring some 3/8" holes today went a lot faster with an 8" brace than it would have with a 10".
Likely would have been faster with my Makita.
