Another new tool – Brace and hand drill

Yesterday, I made a post about getting a new tool (which arrived today).  I forgot that I had also ordered a Hand Drill (eggbeater drill) and Hand Brace.  As I move to using hand tools, this is a new set of tools that I’m excited to use and experiment with.  I have hand drills and a drill press that I expect to still use but I’ve seen Saint Roy, use braces and hand drills and been impressed at how quickly they do their job.

I expect that keeping the tool square and plumb to the work surface will be  a challenge until I develop some skills with the tool.  If there is any advice from anyone on usage, I’d love to hear about it in the comments.
