Vintage bit brace restoration | 1920 Millers Falls No. 772 Lion chuck

Описание к видео Vintage bit brace restoration | 1920 Millers Falls No. 772 Lion chuck

In this video, I restore a Millers Falls No. 772 10-inch bit brace made around 1920. This was the top of the line brace made by Millers Falls at the height of hand tool manufacturing in the US. It features the powerful ball-bearing "Lion" chuck, Leland's universal jaws that can hold multiple types of bit shanks, a steel-enclosed ratchet mechanism, steel-clad head with ball bearings, tropical hardwood handles, and nickel plating. Possibly the best brace ever made.

My goal in tool restoration is to make the tool clean and functional while preserving all of the unique signs of its age and history.
