Making a walking stick (#81)

- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- On Today’s episode I make A Walkingstick for a friend. He told me he was going on a spiritual Journey, and he is retracing his roots. I will be meeting him in the desert, and he will begin his journey there. this got me thinking, I had just pruned a mesquite tree that his brother had planted many years ago, what a better way to start his journey of retracing his roots then with the branch of a tree that his brother had planted and grown and then, I had transformed into a walking stick that he may use on Adventures and always have his brother and I with him in spirit! I hope you find the video entertaining and as always, thanks for watching😎

I make walking sticks and canes for a hobby. I use side grinders with a steel Kutz all extreme disc to remove the bark and shape the stick. They last a long long time. Next, I change side grinders to my flap disc with 40 grit. I smooth is out as best I can. Finally, I switch to the Dewalt finishing sander with 60 grit paper. I do not like stain as I feel it hides the grain. In some cases, depending on the wood, I may lightly burn the wood to make the grain pop. Then I put a coat of tung oil cut 50% with mineral spirits. I let it dry and repeat 4 or 5 times. Next, I switch to polyurethan cut 50%. Another 3 coats. Finally, I use poly in a spray can for the finish. By the way. In between every coat of tung oil or poly, I rub with steel wool. This makes the finish smooth as a baby's ass.
Hey JR! Thanks for checking out the video and taking time to make a comment. It sounds like you have quite the process, and I bet those sticks look really awesome. You should make a video and post it. It would really be cool to check out the process and the finished product.
Một cái gậy rất ấn tượng, công việc tuyệt vời.
Có thể cho tôi biết chất dẫn điện đó là gì và dòng điện để đốt cháy là bao nhiêu vol.
Rất cảm ơn.
Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều 😎: Vật liệu dây dẫn là đồng, votage áp dụng là 120v và dòng điện là 15.000, nếu bạn có thêm bất kỳ câu hỏi nào, vui lòng hỏi👍: Cảm ơn bạn đã xem!
I like stain, makes the grain stand out. Difference likely is, you buy your stain, I make mine.
@@ThFitz
Stain really does make the grain on some types of wood look better for sure. That’s really cool that you make your own stain! Please share the process of how you make it. Thanks for checking it out! ☮️🤙🏻
Not even one minute in and the backstory of the wood was alderman beautiful.
@@rubenskiii Thanks for taking the time to watch and actually listen 😎 I’m sure my friend would be happy knowing he lives on in spirit.
Why don't you explain the equipment you used to burn the wood.
Thanks for your question/comment. I Made this video to share the story and the process not necessarily the equipment I used. this hobby isn’t for everyone as it’s very dangerous. If you make one mistake it could be deadly, but since you asked I use a 15,000 V neon sign transformer with insulated probes controlled by a foot pedal. I also use high-voltage insulated gloves with a pair of rubber gloves underneath that. The foot pedal energizes the transformer and also is a safety feature in the instance of an accident so that it will stop the current when your foot is off the pedal. As I stated, in the video, this hobby is not recommended for just anyone it is dangerous and people do die every year using these devices. I hope this answers your question 😎 thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
dude the whole vibe of the video with your music and all is awsome. the lightning pattern is amazing. very inciteful. thank you for the awsome content
Hey Johnathan,
Thank you for taking the time to watch and for your comments, it means a lot! Hope you come back and check in from time to time. 😎
Nice but dangerous .
It looks outstanding.
@@luisgonzalez3785 not for everyone!
@@luisgonzalez3785 Thanks so much! And thank you for taking the time to comment and watch ☮️🤙🏻
Why are we whispering?
So one of the 5 wizards won’t take it
@@imfreeze95 the art looks like retinal veins, i think the wizards would probly pass
Have you never heard the Will Rogers quote, "Speak softly and carry a big stick"?
@@JAB671 have you never heard the yosemite sam quote, "speak loud and carry a *bigger* stick!"
@@rickdeckard1075 *WHACK* "...and I use it, too!" Yes. In fact I think of it every time I hear the Will Rogers quote - including when I typed that response.
Question, I have the same fractal burning machine. How do you get it to change directions like that? Are you moving the other probe?
Hey William! Thanks for your question, it’s a combination of moving the probes and placing the solution only where you want it to burn 🔥 hope that answered your question. Post back and let me know if that works for you.
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 thanks for the advice!!! I’ll try it and let you know!!!
@@williamswecker1615 I also remembered that I made one I think it’s called restoring a bowl that shows more of the process of doing that
@@williamswecker1615 video #52
I've never seen that before... Im at a lost for words. Super cool walking stick! Thanks for sharing!
Sometimes there's a deeper meaning to life, even if it's just a walking stick😎
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 Well said!!
PLEASE, I can't hear you soft spoken folks, I wear hearing aids and still have much difficulty understandind what you are saying. I am sure that you have great info!
Albert,
Thanks for your comment and taking time to watch! If there is anything we could do to improve the experience for yourself or others please share those ideas. There is the CC button for closed captioning below the video, this can help when the words are not as clear. I use this at times when I can't hear the words. We are aware that there are language barriers and are working on translation also. A description of the videos is also included in text for each one for further info.
I love,like and make walking sticks. Great fractal burn and great looking stick!
Dennis, thanks so much for your comment and taking the time to watch! If you like fractal work I also posted a video on a bowl that I restored and burned. My roots are in the Ozarks in southern Missouri.
Your friend is blessed to have someone think of them the way you do. It's the perfect gift for someone on a journey. Made with intent, care and respect from a tree planted by a brother. Hell yeah 🤘🏼
Thanks so much! This was an emotional experience for both of us because his brother and my friend Tim had just lost his battle with cancer... We had placed Tim's ashes in the desert and that's where the journey began. ☮
Very cool stick! I've been wanting to try fractal burning for years but that much power worries me. Found out the hard way how much 220 tingles; can't imagine what 15,000 would do.
Thanks Dana! When using these devices safety is the first priority always. There is no walking away from a mistake or accident. Even with experience working around high voltage I still get nervous and can't let my guard down. I make these for family and friends and each one has special meaning. As I have more time and there is an interest, I will be making more for sale. Thank you for taking the time to watch😎🤙and always good to hear from another creator!
Really good burn however you can't pay me enough to hold probes with rubber gloves. There's safer ways to achieve the same results. Your project turned out beautifully be careful.
Hey Russ! Thanks so much for taking the time to watch and comment, that means a lot 😎 I totally agree with you on the safety factor... Even with electrical experience, a rubber floor mat, double rated gloves it is dangerous. One error and the outcome is not desirable. The probes I use are double insulated and have a plexiglass guard. Even after that it is a risk. I will heed your advise and definitely always be careful.
Thanks again! ☮
I'd have to argue, there is an easier way to do it lol. Soak it in water for a little while, let dry then use a bark stripper
Hey Swiftey! Thanks for checking it out 😎I agree, and have used that method with good results also. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🤙
Draw knife!
@rossandersen942 just picked up a real nice one! Thanks for checking it out 😎
Blood sweat and tears went into that. Thanks for sharing.
You know that fo sho!
Tucker doesn't approve. He just wants to go for a walk. You can take online classes with Babel and lean to speak Canine. Lol
That fractal job looks awesome. I didn't think it was possible.
Gotta try that....after I finish my Babel lesson online. "Ruff Ruff!"
I did take a class, but all it taught me to do was fetch sticks🤣🤣 thanks for taking the time to watch!
I get a very BigstackD vibe from this channel, the difference of course is that you talk and that you aren't melting steel.
Edit: How the hell are you making those burn marks move through the wood without moving your woodburner? Its like red lightning.
I will have to check that channel out melting stuff is cool! Thanks for your comments and taking the time to watch 😎 I use a foot pedal to control the voltage. Yes, it is exactly like lightning and just as deadly, it is variable and about 15,000 volts.
Great head stock &blank
❤❤❤❤
Hi Amigo, I cannot catch what kind of liquid you use, my english is not that good.
Will you please let me know, some kind of oíl maybe?
I am from Mexico.
It looks great, I have never seen this.
Hola amigaso!
Gracias por la pregunta! Uso bicarbonato de sodio y agua. Esta solución hace que la superficie de la madera sea... Utilizo 15.000 voltios para quemar patrones de rayos en la madera. Esto es muy peligroso y varias personas mueren cada año usando estos dispositivos. También hice un bowl en otro video. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para ver 😎
¿Dónde en México?
No way…… I also have made some nice cans !!!! But I do not no how to burn them like that ? That looks quality mate 😍💪🏽🇬🇧🇺🇸👌🏽✌🏽 brother from another mother ☮️
🤣🤣 so funny I almost replied brother from a different mother but you beat me to it! I make these for friends and family and have started selling them. It takes about 5 to 10 hours to make each one. I wish I had more time to dedicate to making them. I will be making another stick soon and show how I epoxy coat them.
Love your work
Wood you add a colored stain before the electrical process
Or after ?
Hey Ed ! Thanks for watching 😎 always after. Good clean wood without stains or oils is the best way to achieve a good result. The wood needs to be able to absorb the conductive solution that you apply. Just finished another stick and saw your message! I hope this answers your question. Feel free to ask more questions if you have them. ☮
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 Thank you for the advice and quick response, I will send a pic of my finished product
@@edhopke9686 Awesome, can't wait to check it out 😎
Thanks for sharing this burning tech
Thanks for taking the time to watch! 😎
Pretty cool. Thanks
Thanks for watching !😎
Amazing…… Loved it…. Just beautiful…
Thank you for taking the time to watch! Sometimes there are deeper meanings to life... I found just that while making this walking stick for my friend.
Just amazing - well done and thanks for sharing !
Thank you for taking the time to watch, and thanks for your comment! This was a rewarding project😎
7:32 💀 Say whaaaaaaaat?
Hey Jennifer,
Thanks for taking the time to watch! Yes, unfortunately people do die while making this type of art. Working with electricity is always dangerous just like mountain climbing even with all the safety equipment experience and precautions accidents happen. This type of art is not for people that don't have a working understanding and experience of working with high voltage. You are in fact holding lighting in your hands on a small scale. 🤙☮
le résultat est magnifique ;))
Merci pour votre commentaire et prenez le temps de regarder 😎
Exelente trabajo ssludos dé Puebla 🔥 México
Arturo, ¡Muchas gracias por tu complemento! 😎 Y gracias por tomarse el tiempo para ver el video.
Viva Puebla Mexico!
Thats awesome man
Thanks for the comment Darren!
Great job.namaste
Thank you 🙏🏻
AWESOME!
Thanks for checking it out M K😎
15000 watts is a little hard come by you sure about that 15000 watts
I agree! Listen again and you will hear me say volts not watts. Thanks for watching 😎
FOR GIVE ~~~
🤣لقد غفرت لك
that is so awesome a custom made walking stick from a native tree, do you make these for sale ?
Thanks for the comment and checking it out! So far I have only made them for friends and family. I have had requests for these and have not made any for sale yet. I will be making some more soon and may post on this channel if there is an interest. They take a lot of time to make and each one is different and has a unique meaning to the person it was made for. I use mesquite, Arizona ash, Chinese elm and cedar.
Can you make one for me
I’ll pay you
Hey Reggie! I am working on getting some time to make a few. To many projects right now. I will post a link here when some are ready. Thanks for watching😎
LOOKS NICE, WALKING STICKS ARE REALLY KINDA RUFF THEY DIDN'T HAVE SAND PAPER BACK IN THE DAY BROTHA THEY USED ANOTHER PC OF WOOD OR SIMPLY USE MADE IT SMOOTH.
Thanks for the commet KB ! And thank you for taking the time to watch 🤙
LYNCHBURG EFFECT COOL LOOKING
Controlled Lighting
i HAVE TO SAY NICE STICK AND GREAT MUSIC :)
Good jams are a must when working in the shop! Thanks again 😎
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 MOST DEF, I AM GETTING READY TO START MAKING MY OWN STICKS GETTING READY TO BUILD THE Lichtenberg HAD TO COPY N PAST THAT WORD LOL ANY POINTERS?
@@themaximusone Do your research. If you have never worked around electrical current and have no experience with electricity DO NOT build a device. This is something that you don't just decide to do. Having an accident or making a mistake will kill you. Even with experience doing this is dangerous and people die every year using these devices. It's like mountain climbing even with all the safety equipment people still fall and die. With that being said, please spend plenty of time researching and educate yourself on the dangers of the process and be familiar with electricity. Most of all BE SAFE 😎and do not take chances. Post back here and let me know what you find out in your research.🤙☮
@@ocotillooutlaws4101 a No would have been much easier lol
Just want you to be safe and stick around for a while 👍🏻
