It's interesting to me that this is shared around the world. Thanks, and I hope all is well where you are.

What you have there is a house framers tool box. Everything you pulled out was used in the making of homes in the early 1880's to1900's. The files and rasps were used to keep the tools sharp. Some of the smaller auger bits were used for door and window construction (along with the combination plane found at the bottom), while the larger ones were used in the construction of the house beems. As for the chisels - why carry wood when you could make a new handle in 5 minutes ? They were discarded if you needed to move on any distance and new chisle handles made at your next build site. It's a great find and I really hope you keep it together as a working display piece. All you need to replace are the two saws missing from the box lid - a tenon saw for joint work and a regular saw for the quick cutting of logs in to beams and planks.

Thank you for all that information! I was on the right track, but it's great to hear the explanation from someone who understands what was really going on. I have no plans to split up this collection. Hopefully I can do some timber framing work to experience how it was really done.

That’s a cool plane. If that’s a Stanley Sweetheart chisel that may be the most valuable item in the box! 😃👍🏼

I restored a similar box to use as a road kit in my rig. Was my grandfathers, circa 1900. Excellent quality wood, very strong and well made.

The one handle on the T auger is designed to be loose so when it is moved to the vertical position the unit can turn but the handle stays secure in your hand. Similar to the round handle at the end of a conventional bit brace. Great find!

Thanks James. The song was written an performed by a friend of mine and the band he is in. It is about a twisty little back road in our area that is a lot of fun in a sports car or on a motorcycle!

what a weird fucking carpenter that was what i think this guy did was maybe he would work with plumbers and electricians that would explain the large auger bits normaly the boss would own the bigger augers because they were really expensive like you see today the boss has the 8foot level. but this guy obviously wasnt a regular carpenter

HAHAHA! you make a very good point. It is very possible this box was just a collection of tools put together for storage. It was found in a basement of an old collector and it is not likely these were tools he actually used. Someone used the box quite a bit though. you can see a lot of wear in the lid where saws used to live,
