I agree with you – something about bit braces that makes them so much more interesting than any other woodworking related hand tool for some reason

Thanks guys. I’ll post some pictures once I get it. I only comes with the one bit, but they are always available on ebay.

Crashed and burned.

The brace arrived and it was crap. Three splits, the ebony head was chipped and the whole thing was warped making it totally unusable. I contacted the seller detailing the issues and he’s given me a full refund plus the cost of the return postage.

The hunt goes on…

You win some and you lose some. On ebay you have the oppurtunity to experience the sensation of both in the same transaction. Sorry to here that.

I’m sure another and better is waiting for you out there in the big unknown of tools.
