The latest gizmo design

(1/2) > >>

Eric Krewson:
Gun builders have given me a bunch of fancy wood cut offs to make gizmos out of for the Trad Gang St Jude auction. THE AUCTION WILL OPEN FOR BIDDING FRIDAY MAY 22ND AROUND 6 PM EASTERN. In the past when my scraps were smaller than the necessary 1" X 1" to make a gizmo I threw them in the burn pile. Lately I've been making laminated gizmos with contrasting wood to utilize these scraps. I really like the new design and almost no wood goes to the burn pile now.

Here is one I made a couple of days ago, I drilled the hole slightly off center so it will be a freebie when I find a worthy recipient. The off center hole won't affect the use at all  and is purely cosmetic. If someone bids on one of my gizmos at auction I can't send one out with a flaw in it.

I freehand these after rough cutting them out on a bandsaw so none of them are cookie cutter perfect. I have given away or auctioned off for charity almost 300 of them.

Eric Krewson:
Here is one that is on the St Jude auction, exhibition grade walnut with a contrasting stripe of lighter walnut. I have found if I sign them they bring more money for the kids.

ksnow:
Very nice work and kudos for supporting the charity.

DC:
The laminated ones wouldn't warp. Guy doesn't want a warped gizmo ;D ;D ;D

Russ:
