60Years ago, my age was 5 - my grandfather took me to a walkingstickfaktory in my hometown in germany. This video shows exactly what I watched as a little boy. Thanks for this video - my second watching after such a long time. By the way, I already owned this walkingstick of my little grandfather it was to short for me so I extendet it for me, now I ´m grandfather. The stick is covered all over with little coppersighns, to remind grandfather to his reached holidaygoals. Thanks for showing!
I finally took the time to look up how wooden canes are made! I bought mine about 12 or so years ago (maybe longer) from a yard sale that was outside of a senior citizen home for about $2 or $3. I didn't want a traditional metal-like one. I knew later on down the road I'd be using the came more and more. Well, here I am...using my 🦯cane...more and more. It's so sturdy. It makes getting outta bed far mess wobbly and sometimes I use it to walk throughout my home as well as while out in public.
After getting tired of having cattle break mine, I made one by rounding a hickory handle that was originally intended for a maul. Stained it with the darkest stain I could find and it still ended up only being a light to medium brown -- hickory does not take a stain very well... Used tung oil over the top of the stain... I make it 35 years ago and although it's gone through various heads over the years, the cane is still used...
Fascinating! There are alternatives. My father & I were walking in the woods one day, suddenly, my dad walked off the trail to assail a small tree. This tree had grown in such a way as to form a natural crook -- my dad was able to see this from about 10-20' away! Although he never taught me this spotting technique, I still have the cane made from that small sapling -- I believe it is Maple Wood.
Walk around and find a small sapling and right a knot in it. Wait a couple years and when you go back it's an awesome walking cane handle. My grandpa taught me this.
I have one of the plain walking stick shown here... I'm so in love with it, and it makes me feel very secure. I like the rough look. Thank you for my beautiful walking stick ❤️
Well, for all of the off-beat comments I've read here, I'll say that simple, hand-crafted articles are the most meaningful and enduring statements of how humans evolved, more so than all the technological advances to come in later times. Aside from the "existential sense" that only humans have exclusively, there is another trait that is exclusively human and it is "art." It's the transformation of something from just a thing of utility into a thing of beauty and aesthetic pleasure. I don't need a walking stick yet but, if ever I do, I'm going to get a classy-looking one.
Wooden walking stick with a crooked handle is classic. I'm more partial to a cane with a metal handle, such as a Derby cane or one with a ball knob, but you can't go wrong with any of these styles imo. Also, you gotta love all the health and safety issues in this factory lol. Looks like a quality product tho
@@garyhall867 I got 2 about 2 to 3 years ago over the net, can't tell you wear. If you do get one watch the diameter of the cane. Back when I got mine they were just starting to make them thinner and not as strong Try looking up combat cane on the Internet or eBay and see what you come up with, just watch the diameter of the one more thing they're not cheap too....
@@BigButtocks967 : how sad you criticize correct spelling! It is impossible to read and understand correctly when words are not spelled correctly, and it makes translation impossible. Have a heart and try to do a good job yourself.
As a hobbyist that makes walking stick I got a little hard seeing that pile of available sticks too work with 😳... You can keep all the machinery though
My uncle (24) is struggling with a spinal injury due to a slipped disk, I’m trying to carve a cane/staff to help support he’s back while it heals. Never made a staff before but I came here looking for what the finishing gloss was called so I can add it, also burning it was a nice idea too
I'd love to make simple canes and sticks such as these. At :43 she said "these ones" are chestnut. How many of anything does one denote? Can the singular 'one' become plural by adding an s at the end of the word? Why not just say "These are chestnut."? What if you wanted to buy multiple walking assists? "I want three of those ones, and four of these ones." It's basic English that anyone should ken but in this case she is a professional narrator. Jeeze, Louise.
@@CatherineSTodd The discovery Channel is American and she sounds American or Canadian. My comment was because people say that all the time and it's a word that doesn't make sense. I'm not sure it's in the dictionary. Ultimately the reason I mentioned it is found in the last sentence of my initial comment.
When they say dry they actually mean let the sap in the wood cure/dry and for the wood fibers to separate, they then soak them in water to make them bendable.
CHESTNUT!?!?!? This CANNOT be American Chestnut. Please tell me this is Chinese Chestnut, or some other species. American Chestnut is only now rising from the grave and it ain't a done deal yet. My Great Great Granddaddy made walking canes from second growth hickory (not sure which species but probably shagbark, Pendleton County, Kentucky). The saplings were probably about 3 to 4" in diameter. As far as I know he did not steam them, just used the saplings fresh after splitting them into quarters. He shaved the split points of the quarters and bent that shaved surface to the inside diameter of the arch of the handle using a peg and board frame. They were left to dry for some time, then custom cut and carved to the specific dimensions of the customer. He left the bark on the outside diameter of the arch to provide a good frictional grip, though some customers opted for a smooth grip and he would remove the bark for those folk. This was in the 1920s or there about. One of them ended up too small for the intended customer. He gave that one to my Great Grandad who used it as a hobby horse as a child, then as a walking stick as an old man. About a year before my Great grandad died, he demonstrated its' strength to me by bending it over his knee into about a 2" bow. I freaked out and was afraid the 60 year old stick would break, but it held. That's hickory for you. Great vid, but I wish they would have specified the wood source and species.
Yes it does work like a pencil sharpener because it uses the same mechanism and rotating roller pin blades that are found in both pencil sharpeners and this nosing machine. She wasn't stating that they place a point like a pencil sharpener but they use the same mechanics
I don’t like steamed sticks, I have seen too many get wet and come uncurled. The old men used to grow theirs by tying them and weighting them until they reached the right shape and girth. They never move.
ACE HARDWARE. Not sure if all have t hem but found them in my area. But just ask them if they will order them and it may be something they would be willing to get in? If they do not now have them?

The worker standing at the open blade cutting a candy cane spiral was scary. It's good to know the company also makes wooden artificial limbs and fingers.
@@oldmanfromscenetwentyfour8164 -- Apparently not *everyone* in India is working as a offshore phone support answerer... Yeah, I called them "phone support answerer" because they seldom provide real tech support (i.e. help you with the problem at hand) and instead just answer the phone...
Justin Gnagi You're correct but in this case I've seen this segment done on How It's Made by the regular narrator. I wonder if this is from another version of the show (Canada? - I think the show is produced up there).
Yes, the show is of Canadian origin, and the female narrators are the original narrators that the show is made with. The American export is primarily produced to replace Metric units with Customary units, so they re-record the narration with the male narrators that we are used to.
