I saw this beautiful post drill in the blacksmith shop at Ameliasburgh Museum in Prince Edward County, Ontario. It is different in that instead of the spindle moving up and down inside the mechanism, the whole mechanism moves up and down on the vertical rods at each side. The mechanism hangs from the threaded rod at the top and is moved by turning the horizontal handwheel.
