My sister "commissioned" this for her husband. She said price was no object (as in free)  because it probably be cheaper than a trip to the emergency room. I found a couple of designs from a Google search and he picked the one he liked. It's large enough to hold the "deli" versions.

 

Made from scraps from the lumber rack. Maple, Walnut and a small piece of cherry. All glued joints. Finished with mineral oil and bee's wax.

 

 

Time to get back to the lathe!

That is really nice!! Great Job

Now that is just too cool!

Me likes that. 

What?  No clamp to hold the bagel steady?  Looks like a good use of scraps.  Nicely done.

Well done Lew. Nice mix & use of scraps...Since a bagel is just a dieters doughnut, I suppose you could slice doughnuts in it too?

Not jelly doughnuts, I hope...

 

 

Well done Lew...sometimes I wonder "what can I make for ________"...this is a great idea...

I am not a bagal fan, but you did a nice job on the guide.

 

As far as doughnuts go, I can't think of any reason to slice them,

How else you gonna' get the slices of bacon, egg & cheese in the middle?

Had a lunch meeting today at a restaurant.  One menu item was Bacon and Peanut Butter Hamburger (!?)  Engineering principle I learned long ago, "Just because you can doesn't mean you should."

 

I still laugh at my jerk brother in law.   A long time ago, he and my sister were visiting and he tried to cut a slice of bread.   Nothing ever being his fault, "This knife doesn't cut straight."    Funny, I'd used it for 15 years and never had that problem.  Maybe I should make him a bread slicer???

This man needs a raise. 

Thanks for all of the positive (and humorous) comments!

 

I kinda figured the subject of doughnuts would come up! I must tell you a story about doughnuts. Our "adopted" son owns an upscale restaurant here. He is always trying to come up with menu items not available at other eateries. Not long ago, we had supper there and he brought out his latest creation, a new dessert item. He called it "Ted's Bread Pudding". He told us that instead of using bread, he makes it using doughnuts. You gain 5 pounds as soon as they set the plate on the table! If you are ever near Gettysburg, PA, you gotta stop in and try it!

 

Keith, when I was looking for examples, I came across this-

 

Thanks again for looking!

This is a BIG seller at this restaurant. Even Guy Fieri succumbed to one of these on his Diners, Drive-ins & Dives segments...My son-in-law says they're awesome...I'm like you, doesn't make culinary sense.

 

Route 66 - Triple XXX Restaurants

The Duane Purvis All-American* A burger for the more adventurous! A 1/4 lb. of 100% ground sirloin with thick,  creamy peanut butter served on a toasted sesame seed bun with melted  American cheese, lettuce, tomato, pickle, and onion. A very special treat! 

Culinary sense or not, I'd give it a shot. But then, peanut butter, like bacon, is good on almost anything. Yum.

There is a culinary expression: "There is hardly anything that can't be improved with garlic or whipped cream, but rarely both."

 

Bacon is OK in my book but I can take it or leave it.

 

Garlic and I don't get along well.

 

But whipped cream is good.

With enough garlic and butter, anything tastes good. Just ask France.
