Hello neighbor ,

This Antique barn beam drill was used in Early American times by talented craftsmen who would get together to raise a barn for their neighbors and in return the recipients of the barn raising would then go to their neighbors to return the favor by helping raise their barn .

This type tool was used by men who built a country !

This drill features a 16 inch bit that would drill a 1 and 1/8 inch hole that would receive a wooden peg , thereby adjoining 2 beams together .

The handle appears to have been crafted with the use of a draw knife , it is irregular shaped and is a very solid handle with a nice patina .

You could own this piece of American history ! Better grab it before it’s gone !!
