[QUOTE=John Hart]Well Elise didn't want to do one but Rachel wanted to make a Light Saber Bonker. She expects me to make the saber part. I'll do that.....uh......some other time.
Wow, I can almost see the light thingy shooting out the end.

finished my bonker today. Wanted to try the cirle thingy. Didn't come out quite right but good enough for a bonker

Nice bonker Paul - atomic, huh?!!? Looks like it's got a rolling pin lineage - a classic bonker.

Good news is that I'm BACK IN THE SHOP. Stitches out yesterday and Doc says "sure go back, but stop being STUPID!" GREAT bedside manner!
Bad news is that I had hours and hours to research "Bonkers."
I found a little known fact! China had a type of "Bonker" as far back as 3000BC. The one that interested me was a "Three Ring" version. It was used by the Ring Master when cast members got out of line. They called it a "Flea Flicker" and as you might surmise, it was miniscule. You might even saw "Itty Bitty". I decided to use my "Bonker" entry to salute these stalward and intrepid performers.
May I present the "Itty Bitty Flea Flicker" Trophy. Made from Elm (might be Chinese, but probably American). Overall length, including the base - A little under 2". Touched up the top with 240G where I parted off the top. My first effort with rings. (Blew up one of these trying to make the handle a smaller diameter so that the rings would slide easily). Start to finish - without finishing - twelve minutes.
Thanks for lookin'. Goin' back down and work on another spindle for the cradle.

Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
"Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

Dennis,
Does the attached qualify as a "bonker"?It is only made out of northern Wisconsin, winter-hardened Balsa so I really don't know!
I know that I promised Tyler that I would behave myself but that pesky mosquito drove me into an uncontrollable RAGE!!If he/she had been a bit slower, it would have been in DEEP trouble!
My problem now is: How do I get the head out of the table without breaking the handle?
Whatever, I'm sure that I am doing better than Andy - unless he is using his "second" face as a "bonker"!

I am so busy REMAKING my projects that I don't have time to make them the FIRST time!

Well, it ain't no Entomological Bonker! At least I don't think it is, is it? Tried out the new Oliver for the first time and a bonker was just the ticket, seeings as I'm still waiting for the Pony Express to deliver my Talon insert. Made out of a gnarly old piece of maple firewood. Too small for a salmon bonker, too big for any of the elusive Utah native cutthroat unless you were trying to bonk them and make patties all in one swipe.
