I want to make a miniature replica of a bit brace similar to this one.
It has been a long time since I have touched one and I’m trying to get some approximate dimensions.
If I assume the rotating hand grip (in the middle) is 4" long including the metal ferrules (or about 3.5" long without the ferrules), then the entire brace scales out to about 17.5" - 18", not including the bit. Is that about right? Obviously if the center hand grip is a different size the bit brace could be substantially different. For instance, a 3" hand grip would yield a 13" - 14" brace.
