- Hi there. Firstly may i say there are rubber ferrules for the sticks. Sorry I didn't show them.
The brass tip is there to protect the wooden end grain from impacts and moister and is there to except a rubber ferrule.
If you enjoyed this build then have a look at some of my other build videos. Links below.
• Making a Walking Stick...
• Making Dulzouki Dulcimers
This video is about me making a few walking stick or canes for presents for Christmas. I know there are many ways to make walking sticks. But this is my way. I'm not saying these are the best ways to make a cane or stick. but some people may take ideas. Ok, my methods are not always the quickest, best or safest ways to work. but the sticks came out ok. I'm pleased with the results.
I will remove the rest from the lathe when I'm sanding in the future
Also, I will roll my sleeves up next time I use my lathe. Thank you for your concern.
Apologies for the sound. This was my first proper build video. Just mute it if it's too much.
Thank you for watching.
Pete
This is is my latest project ruclips.net/video/6Tl27SNIPU8/видео.html
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.

Those walking sticks are works of art.
The canes are beautiful. Whoever receives these as gifts will be proud. So much attention to detail. 👍🏻
Beautiful craftsmanship, a pleasure to watch a talented craftsman
You have answered a lot of questions I had on making the handles and sticks. Thanks
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.
Very nice work. Not many years from now I'll be needing one of those.
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.
Beautiful. Great use of scraps. Precision
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!
Those walking cane looks awesome. You have the right tools and the skills. I had made my own cane. Even though I'm 75 yrs old I still have some skills, what I do not have is the tools you have. I have a set of files, a jigsaw, sand paper, a small vice and a drilling gun. My waking cane is not beautiful as yours but I still get some complements. Hope didn't get you bore with my little story. Thank you for the video and keep up the good work..
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 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.
Thank you
Beautiful. People don't appreciate the work involved.
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.
Very nice .To start with I didn't think it was going to be strong enough but you done a great job ,well done..
Very skilful and beautiful walking sticks thanks for sharing 👍
Beautiful...coming from a 67 year old craftsman ...in okla..
Wow thank you Jess. i feel honoured.
Very nice walking sticks! Thank you.
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.
The sticks are looking very nice. Thank you for sharing your skills with the community. Greetings and love from Hamburg/ Germany.
I am fascinated by your work, and fun to see it in hurry up mode. I have always wished for a wood working shop.
This hand craftsmanship must be at least three or fifty years. Appreciate
What's that old saying? The Patience of Job. You sir have it in spades and I am in awe.
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.
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.
Thank you very much for you kind words.
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!
Those sir are beautifully done. What a great talent you have.
You are the fastest wood worker I've ever seen!!! 😄
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.
Congratulations Pete, that is a lot more than a walking stick, that is a piece of art executed with great taste.
I love the fact that you showed the finished product for several seconds at the end.
Need more time? Hit the pause button......
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.
I use discarded wood for raised garden beds and as they rot down turn the result into wood chip and mix with the next bed's fill.
They came out superb!
Very nice,I like the contrasting woods.
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.
Very nice indeed - and made with what seemed like a lot of spare bits of wood that were lying around unused.
Beautiful, much nicer than the one I’m using.
Absolutely fantastic!
Thank you for sharing!!
Those yellow clamps are bad ass!! I need a few sets.
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!
Very handsome canes
Beautiful walking stick Peter
Lovely work and a pleasure to watch you demonstrate your tremendous skills, Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for the friendly comment.
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.
Excellent! I never thought of laminating timber but it makes sense. Thank you
Fellow stick maker...great work
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
Unusual choice of background Music. But a very nice walking stick.
Love the sticks‼️Great construction. Heritage walking stick construction ❗️👍🏻👍🏻
Ergonomic and beautiful
Great job. Beautiful looking walking sticks.
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
Awesome, loved some of your techniques and will certainly use them in other projects of mine.
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful memory Jim. Thanks for sharing, it touched my heart.
Thank you, @@JavierBonillaC. I'm happy my memory finally resonated with somebody the way I intended it to.
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.
Super work! Grandpa taught me to use a rasp for rough out work. Might save you some effort. Beautiful work in every way!
I love that cane. It's beautiful.
عفيه وتمام وشغلك بالحيل زين فناااااان 👌👍👍👍
Impressive and motivating... Thanks for sharing...
Ok what clowns gave my brother a thumbs down? 🤬 Great job Pete. Mum and Dad are so proud of them and you xx
Thanks Sister. Big love and hugs to you.
The handle in the promo looked like a ballerinas clog .
That’s the best kind of handle, much more comfortable and supportive than the candy cane style.
Speaking as a longtime cane user, I’m not a big fan of the brass band at the handle attachment. I took it off both of my canes since I found it caused irritation on the web between my finger and thumb. Better to have a nice smooth transition with no intervening materials.
Lovely work, and some handy machines,
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.
Thank you Jo. I am also in the UK. I am enjoying the comments. they do make me laugh.
BEAUTIFUL WORK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful work!!!
I enjoyed watching this Peter, takes a lot of patience and time. Great craftsmanship ! Now I can see why some walking sticks are so pricey
My bro makes em outa curly willow, and natural hard woods. Only thing is, not to many are interested in them, though they are very nice, and unique.
very nice I enjoyed watching
Wtf.. Dang boy. sure had my attention. it is most definitely an acquired talent. enjoyed it very much...Best to you Sir !!
nice sticks done well
Nice to look at the beautiful work!
Wow, amazing work.
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.
Beautiful work.
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!
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.

Really nice job. What about a rubber tip for indoors and sidewalks, to prevent slipping?
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.
How can anyone give this a thumbs down? Thanks for the video
Thank you R.Taylor I give you a thumbs up for that comment.
Nicely done!
Very nice work..
Beautiful walking sticks. The thumbs down ppl must need glasses.🙄
No they are unhappy and love nothing better than to criticize everything because they are not doing anything...
Love your shop! All the gadgets, and gizmos, a woodworker could want!
A good strong laminated handle and stick! well made, Chaplin would be proud with this one!
Beautiful work! Enjoyed watching a skilled craftsman doing his thing!
Very nice work .... I'd love one ...
Wow bro impressive 👏.
Beautiful work! And all with reclaimed wood👍 Thanks
nICE WORK. tHANKS FOR SHARING.
That was a pleasure to watch, beautiful stick.
Thank you for the kind comment.
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
Not enough to just say well done? Feel the need to educate this craftsman? Lol.
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
beautiful work.
Very good post. Saw a couple things which could be done easier,as you probably know too, but all in all, excellent.
Very nice
An artistic craftsman.
Nice craftsmanship...That said...I hope you can get $200 for your time...I made a crepe myrtle (unbreakable) in 4 minutes for free...Nice work...I inspire to have all the tools and workspace that you enjoy. very entertaining and well done..
Lovely. To be very honestly great job. 👌👍❤️
