very nice haul - I especially dig the hammer and paperwork to go with it...
And for the record, those aren't carts...they're hipster coffee tables

for very short hipsters, or hipsters sitting on the ground (a subset of hipster into yoga, known as yo-hipsters; in 30 years, they'll all need hip replacements, and the descriptive term will have a whole new meaning).
Yes, nice haul. Are the tapered square bits twist bits? I've never seen any that long, although my twist bit finds have been at yard sales, so the bits have been sharpened a few times.
Those whimble braces are fascinating things. They always seem to me like tools that would take some practice to use, kind of a "pat head, rub tummy" tool.

First time I've been to an "official meeting." I found out that I already know a lot of people there. I picked up some nice Millers Falls items and a couple of rosewood body smoothing planes. It was a good time.

WTH is with that brace? Am I missing something or is the knob not over the chuck?

You swing both arms with that brace, rather than keeping the top hand stationary as with a normal brace. I've never tried one, but I imagine it takes more practice. Should be able to generate some decent torque with it, though.

The torque is understandable, but drilling a straight hole would be a challenge.

Agreed - I don't think it's intended to be a fine woodworking tool. Might have been handy for a plumber or electrician for boring big holes for pipes and wires in the days before powered drills, though.
