My first useful Bonker

Nice Bonker!

These come in very handy for wailing the tar out of just about anything! I keep mine at the lathe to set the drive spur and dispatching the occasional spider.

Isn’t turning wet wood a lot of fun?!

Looks nice.

Nice bonker but you need to invest a little in a better looking model if you want to sell any! :)

I’m sure it will come in handy in a number of ways. Every time I turn around I see “turned” projects. I may have to break down and buy a lathe.

Well done.

Things you never thought you’d ever say…”Nice bonker!” I fear that I may need to develop another addiction, with all of the turned pieces I see on the site. Maybe I can convice the wife, “Honey…I can use it to dispatch the occasional spider!”

New Model… check.
Dunno about the King of Bonkers, but it should suffice.
Maxx, come over to the dark side… we have Bonkers, er…. Cookies!
Moai just a simple turned thing that evolved into a shop tool.

I guess you could “set” stone with it too.

I thought about it as a gavel for my lodge, but decided there was a much more common one which I should build instead.

That’s a nice bonker you’ve got there, Bro…on gavels, I’ve got a plan for one that looks like a beehive that I need to complete for my trip East next year.
