What a delightful, simple gonk . I have to pick up some economy priced spanners and make some tenon sizing tools . I prefer not to put any finish on the nose tenon so that my wood glue bonds well Cheers from Gary in Duluth Minnesota USA

Excellent idea for a scrap wood project. Many thanks for your inspiration.

Hello Andy I really enjoyed this video it was very informative and interesting. The wood is nice even though it was a scrap bit of wood its got nice grain. The colouring you used was very nice I think it shows the grain as well, it really spiced up the normal timber. You really are a masterwoodturner and have a creative imagination, I love all your videos. The Gonk is magnificent really stands out, could be used for allsorts of things. You had no rain on the video whats the weather been like lately, up in Scotland we've had mixed weather. God bless to you take care from Amanda xxxxxx

Thank you and God bless you and yours... Take care my friend...All the best.....Andy xx

Hi Andy! What a lovley idea, love the modern "stylised" design, looking really good and could be used for a number of things... Planting carrots or potatoes, for example, or as a stand for bracelets and dare I say it, hair rubber thingies, you know... Ha ha ha, sorry, cannot help it, always looking for the dual use aspect... Anyway, love it, looks great! No sound today, sooooo no rain either??? We seem to go from tropical heat to typical Cornish weather (15 degrees and 99% of humidity...) and back to tropical heat in the matter of a couple of days here, so kind of crazy too... Have a lovely Sunday, take care, byeeee!!! Jude

I’m pretty sure I would need to live to 120 in order to complete everything in my “book”! 😀

Such a fine and noble gonk! I wonder if he might be standing guard outside a particularly jolly fellow's workshop? One can't dilly dally when it comes to getting ready for "you know what"! 🎄😊 This was a fun one to watch, thank you, Andy, take care!
