    My friend Jason Thigpen at Texas Heritage Woodworks makes really attractive, affordable Moxon Vise hardware.

  9. Dowel Cutter

  13. Marketplace Classifieds
    I'm interested in acquiring a brace. I would prefer to get a used one with a 10" sweep or more. I understand a 16" sweep is better for large bits, but also somewhat rare. eBay has them on occasion, but the collectors are driving the prices up too much for a user (me). Is anyone looking to...

  18. Hand Tools
    Hello. I have a few auger bits with hexagonal shafts but my electrical drills do not pack enough power to operate them. I remembered that I had 2 braces laying around so I decided to use them instead. You may already have guessed my problem: these old braces have a 2-jaw chuck on them and are...
  19. Hand Tools
    I saw one of my buddies blogs a couple of days ago where he was gloating about his recent purchase of three Braces. It reminded me that I have two braces and several bits that I have no use for. I sent my buddy a message to ask him if he wanted mine or at least some of the bits and we could work...
