Vintage Irwin

I dug this out of a drawer this morning. Pretty much as I found it. The booklet is probably worth more than the bits. I paid nothing for it so I'm not out anything except drawer space in my drill cabinet.

Nice. I've always liked using a brace and bit. Depth of cut is very easy to gauge and there's no power tool noise, just the nice, shrp shrp shrp shrp sound, of the cutting lips cutting the wood.

It's how I cut the mortises for the Baldwin mortise locks I installed recently.
