WALKING STICKS - PDF
http://www.arbortech.com.au/upload/p...ing-sticks.pdf
This is the link that originally inspired me to make a cane. I didn't wind up doing anything it says, just remembered it later, and went from there. Then too, I rembered when I was a kid around 10 or so, I was given a walking stick made from aromatic cedar. Whoever gave it to me had just whittled down a branch or small tree, and rounded of the top end. A tad crude maybe, but worked, and there were a number of people using them from day to day, so they couldn't be too bad. Smelled nice too. I haven't put any finish on my oak cane, and it's still got that oak small - kinda nice. JOAT 10 Out Of 10 Terrorists Prefer Hillary For President - Bumper Sticker I do not have a problem with a woman president - except for Hillary. |

I think I'd use a drawknife instead of that Arbortech, though; those things scare me. |

Yeah, I've thought about buying a similar cutter (but less $), but keep figuring I don't need the adrenelin rush. They do have some nice pans on that site tho - all of which seemingly require one of their cutters. JOAT 10 Out Of 10 Terrorists Prefer Hillary For President - Bumper Sticker I do not have a problem with a woman president - except for Hillary. I'll have to check it out. Once this blasted book is done, I'll have time for some woodworking. |

That might just about take my problem knees and feet out of the equation when I cover road racing events! I may email them. I last used a hovercraft back around...yeah, well. Jeez, late '60s, I did an article for a motorcycle magazine; there was a dealer in Albany and I borrowed on for a day, ran it up to a nearby lake along with a friend of mine, and we put it through its paces. I loved it, but the price was outrageous (as was the size: it took up more than a full lane in traffic [we trailered it], couldn't be licensed [made one helluva mess on dirty streets], but was a real blast, leterally and figuratively). |
