Wenge & Yellowheart Thingamajig

Impressive … my thingamajigs never look that cool!

-- Lip's Dysfuncational Firewood Farm, South Bend, IN

Amazing! I was just thinking of something similar to that.

Very cool!

My mother used to tell me to hand her “that thingamajig” and until now I had no idea what she was talking about. Thanks for clearing that up.

That’s pretty neat and I can see how it could be quite relaxing to fiddle with.

One of the better thingamajigs I’ve seen in a long time.

-- Maplewood, MN

That is a really interesting project. We all need excuses to spend more time in the shop.

Thanks for sharing the project.

So what kinda thingamajig did you use to make it?

Its a Beall Masterpiece Turner. Beall made them a few years ago, they didn’t market for very long. Woodcraft sold them for a while. They attach to a mini lathe and work alot like a legacy works but they were powered by a foredom instead of a router. It also would cut threads in lidded box’s. It will do a number of different things once you get the hang of it.

Thanks to all for your comments.

Very cool, Les! Most people won’t truly understand just how intricate that little project really was! I am impressed!

Keep up the good work. I will enjoy viewing them!

God Bless,

I’ve never heard of that Beall tool before. Have you ever seen them on the used market?

OK Les – maybe it was a napkin – after seeing your thingamajig, I guess you might have made a napkin out of wood. I can’t wait to see what else you come up with.

now that is cool!

-- I've cut that board three times and it's still too short!

Cris, I haven’t seen one on the used market as of yet. I don’t think there are many out there, not very many were sold. Thanks to all for the comments!

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

Les, you’re posting some things that really have me glued to my chair.

Interesting and cool.
