Période

Possibly used c. 1860s- late 1940s.

Canada

Part of a collection of hand tools belonging to James Anthony (1883-1966), an English born and trained carpenter who came to Canada c. 1910 and worked in and around Ottawa, ON. Following the 1916 fire which destroyed the Parliament buildings and damaged the Library, Mr. Anthony was hired as a foreman with the restoration crews. Until 1920, he was involved in the rebuilding of the Peace Tower and the installation of new windows at the Library of Parliament. He later worked with various builders in the Ottawa area, retiring in the late1940s. After his death in 1966 the tools were given to his son Jack, who in turn donated them to CSTMC. [Ref. 1]

Fonction

Used for cutting into wood.

Technique

Single twist pattern patented in 1809 by Erza L'Hommedieu. The single twist or L'Hommidieu pattern was preferred by shipwrights who maintained that it was less likely to become stuck than a double-twist auger. [Ref. 3]
