Some times when you don't have a real project going on and there are no new jigs you need to build you just got to do something in the shop. You can only put so much wax on things and the floor just does not need to be shinny.

Well I got this book with a bunch of different little projects in it...... so with nothing else to do I went out and wasted a bunch of time. What in the world I am going to with this thing I have no idea. The granddaughter's kind of like it but not that much.

But the bottom line it was kind of fun building it...

All but the balls, I bought them, just no way to make them.

That's neat, Bill!

I've been planning to make a welding work positioner using the same kind of ball joint contraptions (but with wing nuts).

Looks good, thanks for posting up.

Interesting, but it looks androgynous to me.

That's exactly what I was wondering about. I was going to ask how you made them LOL

Carve a smiley face on him, Bill. Maybe your granddaughter will like him better. Cool project.

Ditto on the smiley face. Make these guys in batches and sell at the next craft fair.
