Antiquing

My newest find: an antique brace, or hand drill. It's English, probably Sheffield, from about 1870. It's a fine example, with a mahogony head, and it's joint is tight, as it should be. I'm digging it.

I bet you are digging it. It's a fine example. Can you change bits or do you need a separate brace for each bit? I've seen them both ways.

Yeah, pop, you can change the bits. I have about 15 other bits, so I have a halfway decent set.
