Can you attach handle to stick with dovetail joint and dawl as you did? I live in the philippines and can not seem to get the idea across. I currently have one with a shaft about 4 feet long. The handle is straight (without your curves). It allows me to stand and place am arm across the handle and rest my chin on my arm. This helps my back when there are no chairs and I have to wait in line. What would one cost to include shipping if you had a mind to build one for this old vet living here. Please keep up your video's. I do not have your kind of equipment but it takes me back to high school and wood shop. Have a Blessed Day and may God watch over you and your family, keeping you in his loving hands. Retired Navy "Mustang" Nurse.
Very well done. Your focus on detail , the ability to perform perfection and using lids, rolls of tape to template the head , touched my memory of doing the same many times, years ago. Thus creating a very unique piece every time . Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for sharing. Those canes are beautiful. Loved the way you sanded the handle. I have never thought of creating a cane from flat stock glued together. Such a work of art.
It's a very nice thing to see how you turn into useful artifacts the scrap wood that other's discard from old houses. Many trees will be happy with this. Congratulations
I always wondered how canes/walking sticks were made as I have a very unique collection, some made from just one piece of wood, carved from a walnut or sassafras tree thick limb. I have my grandfathers cane, of which my mother also used it, also made from a tree limb. This was amazing to watch & view the beautiful finished piece, thank you for sharing this, very much appreciated, you have a good skill & talented.
These are beautiful walking sticks. Your parents must be so proud of their new walking sticks and their very talented son. I use a single forearm crutch and would love to have a wooden one. I wonder if we could discuss designing one and if you would be willing to make it for me. Maybe others would be interested, also. Thank you for considering, and thank you for sharing your art with us all.
Very nice work. Since I have Arthritis in my hips, I'm going to be needing a cane some day. I made my own cane using Brazilian Lace Wood. I really like the look of the wood. I like the way you did your's. I drilled and put in a 5/16 steel pin through the handle into the shaft about three inches long to give it stability. I'm thinking about making walking stick and selling them. Really enjoy making things. Once again nice job!
Enjoyed watching your method. Not having a shop like yours I use 1" diameter dowels from home depot that are already round and put doorknobs and other items on their tops. Finish off with leather around it for a grip. Good job. Always a good gift for those who need their use.
I don't think I'll ever get over the joy of watching something being created. Looks to me like real magic...alchemy. And it's beautiful by virtue of being born of a simple thought. Nicely done indeed.
Love that wood pile. Got several like it. Other people’s garbage eh!! I’m sure we all know about packing crates. A man got one from a motor bike shop. Turned out, the wood was worth almost as much as the bike.
Mesmerising. Loved the video. Loved the Hollywood quip it made me laugh. (Yes I read comments too). Beautiful craftsmanship, don't need speech or music to complement your artistry. Greetings from the UK. I have never seen a up and down jumping sander before.
Nice end results! And nice shop. Ive been making 2 canes for my father in a more traditional fashion( carving knives and sandpaper, though I would probably use power tools if I had them. But i do take great enjoyment in the hand carving process.) Its been a 2-3 month process for both of them, one from lumber and one from driftwood.
I love to utilize reclaimed wood, & it's nice to see when others do. Wood is all too often used once, then discarded, when it may have many more uses. Thank you for the video, & looking forward to seeing more from you.
amazing thought - diving down deep in your atelier using a thousands of bucks worth of equipment, leaving your wife and family for days on end - finally popping up with a walking stick ;-? they will be proud of you!
My dog, Amber brought me my best walking stick out of the woods one day. It just needed some sanding and linseed oil. She's gone now, but I still have that beautiful walking stick.
I like your tail stock wheel. I had to do the same thing to mine. I forgot to say, that’s a really nice stick you turned out. You have given me a new idea. Thank you.
Entertaining in its own right.. well done, solid craftsmanship and good use of the ugly wood pile (we all have one). Also stumbled across this and pleased that I did.... nice work
Hello LeoJoshua21. thanks for your comment. Actually, there are not hundreds of thousands of dollars of equipment on display. If you ask any experienced carpenter or joiner they will confirm this. My workshop is a VERY VERY low-budget workshop. Some of the machines, I made myself. including the bandsaw and one of the table saws. the drill press is about $60. The lathe is worth $100 and so are most of the other tools and machines under $100. with the exception of my Battery drill. I got fed up with buying new drills every year as they would burn out so I brought a good Festool battery drill. for $350 The most expensive machine is the table saw which is worth about $1500. the total cost of all the machines and tools doesn't even amount to a low-budget second-hand car. Everything I do is on a budget. this is proof that you don't need to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on machines and tools to have a workshop that is useful. Sorry for the rant. I get told that quite a lot. All the best and hope you have a nice day. Pete.
@@PeterSmithwoodsmith this is so encouraging! I appreciate the clarification as I love working with wood but don’t have the funds for some of the high end stuff. But I’m getting there. Love the videos! You inspire me sir!
Nice job, I dig you are using salvaged material. Must of been some house, walnut flooring! You could use an old 12" planer blade and make it a short sword! Great job,I am envious of your shop, space is a commoditity for me.
Good job I do them to the only difference is I hike through the woods and find the odd limbs and do hiking sticks in my spare time to busy build trailers and campers now but it is my passion
I really appreciate your HAND-iwork. So many people who like to build stuff gradually automate their efforts into a factory JOB, and then they don't like to do it anymore? HOBBIES are supposed to be fun, slow and dare I say, HARD TO DO. How many people with a garage full of machines are now sitting in front of their television, because they ruined their hobby through EFFICIENCY~ (!?!) (Tho, I'll help them restore their joy if they wanna give me all their machines... hoo nose, I mite b the x-sepshun, a HAPPY robot...)
Thank you for your comment and I agree. Also keeping my hand skills with hand tools is very important to me. I regularly use had tools instead of a quicker Machine to do jobs.
If you sold the cane to someone, with the time and materail involved what kind of price or cost would you justify as worth , its cost or a valuation? Beautiful cane creation and your craftsmanship is a joy to behold.
Hello and thank you for your comment. I had and have no interest in making money out of making walking sticks like these. The wood was all reclaimed the only cost was the brass ring end cap and a rubber ferrule. The time spent on making this was purely for the love of making something as a gift for members of my family. So I really don't know what it would cost. To me, this is not important at all. It could take weeks and I would be fine with that.
Thank you for your comment. I prefer to do this with a large chisel. as the overhang of the large chisel exaggerates how square I'm chiselling. So it aids in creating a straighter and squarer chiselled surface. As the chisel is flat whereas a whittling knife could be less accurate. That how I like to do it anyway. Thanks for your input.
A suggestion. Use some coarse (e.g. 150 grit) sandpaper and sand a bit on the inside of the brass before gluing. It gets rid of oxidation and provides a “bite” for the glue to hold on.
I realize this is an older video and there may be a chance you will not see this comment. However I've been looking to gain insight in the crafting a unique walking stick for my personal use. Thank you for sharing your process in doing so.
Thanks for the comment. If you read the video description you will read that the brass end is there to accept a rubber ferrule. Sorry, I didn't show it in the video.
Hello Daniel. I use Rubber Walking stick Ferrules which go over the brass Ferrules which is important as it stops the end of the stick from splitting. I get mine on Ebay
Very nice! I like using Tru Oil also. If you put it on really thin and rub it with the palm of your hand until hot it will give you a very smooth finish and dry much faster.
my grandson gave me a nice wooden cane. it needed sanding, stained and sealed. now it's beautiful. not quiet ready to use it yet but time is fast approaching . I'm 75 now. won't be long.
Beautiful looking result. Personally I would not trust the structural integrity for any off trail hiking though. But thats just me ... and sorry if I'm wrong. Without solid testing its just a gut feel.
I'm into walking sticks, much to my wife's despair, and would certainly like one of these for my collection, or if you ever get around to taking orders, I'll be very interested.
Nice looking sticks. I like the use of reclaimed/salvaged woods for them. I like your method for drilling the holes for the joint. A smart way to keep the hole straight to the shank. I've found that for the joint between the handle and shank you want a minimum 5/8" or 15mm diameter for the dowel if you're using wood. Smaller than that can be weak. That, or a 3/8" or 10mm section of steel rod instead. If you're making several of the same style it makes sense to make a template for the handle. Saves a lot of re-drawing. Rodney
I suppose so. The size for the dowel or steel rod in the joint is a lesson I learned the hard way ( one of my own canes fortunately). Better safe than sorry. A broken cane can mean a nasty fall for the person using it.
Edgar come on, that comment really wasn’t necessary. I think he’s a grown man and if he could handle constructive criticism (that was very politely put and great advice), he wouldn’t post public videos. We need to stop being so sensitive; he offered some free advice (take or leave), that’s all.
@@edgarhelbling6525 Rodney is a master craftsman as well in his own right and makes very high quality custom canes for folks on a regular basis. His comments were not meant out of pettiness or to cut someone down as yours to him was, his were meant as constructive ideas as to what has worked for him in the past from his own experience, from *one woodworker to another*. That is not cocky or arrogant "educating" as you assumed and insinuated, but was simply one craftsman sharing ideas and tips from one craftsman to another and was *respectfully* done. There is a very big difference between his comment and yours...his was not cutting Peter down to size in any way, but yours was cutting Rodney down to size, while you accused him of doing what you yourself did to him Interesting.
@@rodneywalker9113 hi Rodney it's the gal you were speaking with earlier on Etsy about the cane ideas I had (wild rose bush shaft with antler handle)...small world! Watching woodworking videos now to inspire me to try my own hand at learning how eventually, :) Be well and will be in touch. ~ Renee
These canes look very beautiful. I would think, however, that the brass tip would seem to be a bit hazardous, since they would most likely slip and slide, versus a more stable rubber tip.
I don't need a Cain , but a walking stick is very handy (and I think cool). Beautiful work. A bit long winded though. Once you run one piece of wood through the planer, we get the idea, you don't need to show 20 more going through . TU
looks great just one thing i have used many walking sticks of all kinds and i find that rubber tip on the bottom is a must have a metal tip gives no grip and slips out very easy have had a few near fatal fall because the stick slipping out just something i have experienced
Amazing work. I love that you showed everything from start to finish. I have been commissioned to make a cane and was wondering if there would be an issue with it not being round. The client wants a vine inlay along the shaft. I was thinking I could do an oval shape with the left and right sides mostly flat. Front and back would be rounded like a typical cane. Also, I don't have a lathe yet, so this was partially my solution to that. I would use a roundover bit in my router table to get the rough shape of the curves and then fine tune it all by hand. Thanks!
Pete, although I have the desire to build one of these beautiful canes, I don't have the facilities to do it and am wondering if you would make one for this old Veteran that I could buy from you.
Whats that wood polish you use at the end..i make walking staffs and canes but ive always used polyeurathane for the shine but would like to try something else
The walking sticks are a nice design and look great. Have you thought about using the roughing gouge as a gouge instead of a scraper? Have you considered using spindle gouges for finish work? I fine that these two things make turning much more enjoyable with less work.

Very nice work. Not many years from now I'll be needing one of those.
You have answered a lot of questions I had on making the handles and sticks. Thanks
Excellent job. Thank you for taking the time to make and post the video; it is people like you that make the internet such a fabulous resource!

Beautiful...coming from a 67 year old craftsman ...in okla..
Wow thank you Jess. i feel honoured.
I need to get a walking stick, I would like a rebar core and a 1 inch chrome ball trailer hitch grip. A nice soft redwood shell would do nicely.
Very skilful and beautiful walking sticks thanks for sharing 👍

Hi Chris. I used Birchwood casey Tru oil.

What would you recommend to use for the tip. I used a rubber foot off a chair and it looked a little funny.
Hello Daniel. I use Rubber Walking stick Ferrules which go over the brass Ferrules which is important as it stops the end of the stick from splitting. I get mine on Ebay
Most decent Drug Stores also carry rubber Cane tips - in different sizes to match your cane.
