Patented & Unusual Braces

*** Click Heading to see Items ***

Drilling holes has been a task since the dawn of time.  Braces and drills have evpatented braceolved over time and each have many different styles and designs to choose from.  There is a book on American Patented Braces by Ron Pearson and finding some of the harder ones can be a challenge.  They make for a great display once one begins to appreciate the differences and thought that went into the different designs. Others make for great users.

Corner & Wimble Braces

*** Click Heading to see Items ***

Corner braces can be found in a number of different designs and styles.  Stanley made a few, Goodell Pratt made a few more, as did Millers Falls and a fellow named McClellan.  Those were just the big names.  There are probably 50 or more other patented designs that can be found, from rare take down models to wildly absurd ideas that barely made it off the drawing table. 

  • Bennet & Bloedel Patented Corner Brace / Drill
  • 2 Wimble Braces 1 Plain 1 Ratchet    SOLD!
  • McClellan Type Corner Brace


Beam / Barn / Pump & Misc Drills

*** Click Heading to see Items ***

I have seen a few collections of Beam boring machines and they can be very impressive.  IMillers Falls Beam Boring Machinet seems there are a few common versions around that were mass produced, and then a very few models that were patented and made in very limited supply.  Some with just a few known.   The Millers Falls model is the most popular with today's timber framers and users, although outfits like James Swan and a few others made a nice usable product.

  • Early & Unusual Pump or Pipe Augers
