This is very nice.

But how can you cut a bagel without putting your finger through the hole?!

I hope that he lets you do some post-production research (with his bagels). ;)
Nice.

Simple, and the band saw was in action!

Like the multiple woods. I may have to get into bagels again and plagiarize, if you don't mind.

I am doing a much more exalted project…

...a quilter's ironing board, with a cabinet including adjustable shelves, underneath…

Yes, it's what we do. We know who the head of the household is, and their wish is our command.

The ironing board is 24" x 60", so not a trivial deal.

Finally melting here some, with the temperature getting up to 32 deg in the day.

Thanks for the post, that's a good one.

What type of hand saw do you cut the bagels with?

^vintage I hope.

Good gift Lew. I've started eating them again and I think this could be nice to have. Nice work.

Lew, I don't know much about how a 'bagel slicing guide' works but it looks like you have done a really nice job on it. Congratulations.

Chuck- Thanks! That's what I said!

Ron- Thank You!

Tony- Thanks!

Albert- Thank You!

John- Thanks! Actually, I guess I should have tried it before sending it to him!

Mike- Thank You!

Hoss- Thanks!

Jim- Thank You! Feel free to steal the design, I did! Noticed on our weather that your area still is a little "chilly". My Mom used to make quilts but she never mentioned a special ironing board. I'll have to ask her about it.

Jbay- Thanks! This one should work!


Woodcox- Thank You! If you make one, post it so we can see your version!

Charles- Thanks!- According to the "New Yorker Bagels, there are about 2000 injuries per year when people slice bagels. Who knew??

Klaus- Thank You!

Thanks everyone for all of the views and making this a Daily Top 3! I really appreciate!

Hi Lew, the reason that I suggested post-production research, was mostly for you to be able to use HIS bagels.
Just a thought…. :)

John- That would work but I'd have to drive 4+ hours to do the research!

The size of the ironing board copies what I suspect is a commercial model at one of the quilt stores here in town. Sherie and her friends love the size of that board, and told me what the size was, and that it needed steam escape holes. Sherie has a TV tray type of ironing board to take to retreats, made out of wood. I copied the hole size and spacing. I will post it as a project when it is painted.

I made just the board for one of Sherie's friends, because she already had a used chest of drawers for a cabinet. Sherie wanted to use the underneath space for storage, you must know this term, storage for her "stash", meaning of fabric.

I have two other projects on deck for a new house for Sherie's daughter, so I am a little busier than usual…
