Adjustable Framing Brace



In the Storage Shed episode (1810), Norm used a large, rusty, beat up turnbuckle on some lumber to adjust and secure one of the walls. Frankly, it looked like an improvised tool made from an old ship's turnbuckle, and I knew I'd never find a picture of it anywhere, but I noticed in the Lee Valley catalog this well engineered gadget that performs exactly the same function as Norm's turnbuckle did. At least now you'll have an idea of what it was, even if it is somewhat different in appearance.

Lee Valley calls it a Scrooge. I have no idea why.
