A new product line!

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Had to make another run to the hardware store for more bolts for the sharpening station. Enroute I had another innovative thought for a new product line........patent pending, of course!


This will probably be more popular with the female population:


Original....one of a kind.........turned.....Idaho Noggin' Knockers!:D


Back to the shop!

[David Fried]

Pics Ken - We need pics!
No pics, I'll report you to PACS - People Against Cruelty to Salmon!!
(I heard their administrator was on to you :cool: )

Me too. But then again, there's still a day or two for the IT entries.:D :D

Will there be award-winning hot wings at this establishment, too???

[Ken Fitzgerald]

I can see if any female types read this thread and read your replys...they'll be potential customers for this new product.......they'll use it for it's intended purpose......knockin' noggins!:D

Good recovery Ken. Yup...sure...:rolleyes: :D

[Bernie Weishapl]

Ken I am not letting my wife read this or I will be in trouble (or should I say more trouble.):eek:

[Dennis Peacock]

Shoot, white out don't move when you scroll the screen up and down!!!!:mad:

Had to run the LOML out of the room.....Didn't want any more Noggin' Knockers around for her to see. :rolleyes: :eek: :D

[Kurt Rosenzweig]

One lump or two?

ROFLMAO!!!! See I always learn something here at the "Creek". Thanks Dennis.

Idaho Salmon Bonkers and now Idaho Noggin' Knockers. The possibilities are endless.

I think you might hook up with Mr. "Quahog Bonker" and you'll both be "Typhoons" before you know it. ;) :D

In an effort to please the crowd here, Tyler the Photo Cop and his new heavy-booted deputy Steve Clardy I'm posting these pictures of my new sharpening station, the mess around the diving board lathe....ie. proof of curlies and the new Idaho Noggin Knocker in the buff....in the lathe waiting for finish...........Folks I was a sane man at one time..........then somebody bombed me.........I haven't figured out if it was the effects of the initial blast or the continuing resulting shock waves.......but I'm not the person I used to be!...........must be the fresh maple curls!

[Andy Hoyt]

Photo 2 is the best. A Fine Mess!

The knocker aint too shabby either.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

You did notice the curlies hanging off the diving board didn't you Andy?
:confused: :D

[Pat Salter]

I'm with Andy, I like photo 2 because of the unique bench design for your lathe. I like it because it leaves plenty of room to let the chips pile so you don't have to sweep so often. Well thought out. :D :D :D

Make sure if you put a 20 lb chunk on there you have someone taking video so we can play it at your funeral:eek:

and as far as the subject of knockers is concerned.....we won't go there.;)

[Andy Hoyt]

Yup, and I saw that road atlas too. Turn to Page 43 for directions to Utah

[Steve Clardy]

Yea. I'm on ya Ken;)

I also informed Tyler to watch yer posts also, for non-pics.:eek: ;)

So what's this I hear you have knockers now:confused: :confused: :confused: :rolleyes:

[Bill Stevener]

Hi Ken,

Great looking Bonker - Knocker??
I'll tell ya, if you don't get to making that table the wife is looking for, I'm sure some of the next photos are going to be a demonstration and it's effects of that new Bonker - Knocker.:eek:

Interested in the broken spindle gouge you noted. Have any photos??

Bill.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:)

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Bill.........Here's some photos of the broken spindle gouge. I was off a little ....I actually broke off about an inch or a little more. I think what happened is I touched the wood and I didn't have it on the rest at the time but then again........I'm not really sure....it happened so fast.....anyway....here's the photos...

[Andy Hoyt]

Ouch! Know anyone with a grinder?:cool:

[Glenn Clabo]

Owww...I must remember...put the tool on the tool rest before sticking it into a rapidly spinning object.

[Glenn Hodges]

Now Ken that might qualify for an IT. It sure is useful and can be pretty when finished. I landed a big King on an Alaska river bank which had no rocks large enough to whack him, and no sticks large enough to calm him down. I sure could have used one of your new product lines that time.

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Glenn.......we have a few salmon that come back to Idaho but we have a large number of Steelhead. A lot of steelhead fishermans use similar devices to put the fight to a quick end once they are in the boat or on the bank!

[Barry Stratton]

Now you are talking, Ken!! How much for one of those puppies, about 18" long???? I can definitely use one of them up here. Great job.

Do you mind if I copy your lathe bench? Hoping to get my stuff set-up and spinning this weekend......

[Ken Fitzgerald]

Barry........I wouldn't ..........I repeat.......I wouldn't recommend copying my bench. If the crowd that bombed me had shown a little more patience I'd have built something a little more significant and permanent to spin on! I still will someday in the future! I use a centerfinder on the 6" maple to build the Salmon Bonker. When I spin it up at the slowest speed (500 rpm) I step to the side wearing my face shield; saying a prayer; turn on power. The maple is obviously out of balance at this time and initially the table has a small bounce to it during startup. Once it's up to speed, it's not that bad. I'd build a better bench!

No need Ken...just get some of these...

[Andy Hoyt]

Or one of these. Just stick it in the "Oscillating Hover Mode".
