    Interesting! I was talking with a man about 6 months ago who makes canes that fire a .22 LR. The barrel is inserted into the cane along its entire length. He was walking with one that day and yes, showed me how it worked, upto the point of firing. Keep up the good work!

    Well done Dennis, I live in NZ but born in London, came to NZ when I was 28 I'm now 74 never go walking without my stick which I believe the lord gave me. Opposite my house is a section of land designated for a playground at some stage, (new estate) at the back of this section is a path that leads to a small track about 6M lower than the land around it, on my first visit I wanted to go down the track to explore but thought a stick would be beneficial as the track drops quite steeply, and there as if the lord heard me was a stick the right length and the right girth I could not believe my luck, and you my friend have shown me how to make my stick last 100 years and look good, Instead of the compass I will install a brass ball or similar which Amazon/Ebay sells, so thankyou for your guidance 🙂

    From over here in England I just had to tell you that you had me spell-bound. Watching you build your walking stick while explaining clearly the procedure. Sir, I even understood the way your hands tied the slip knot. I gonna have a go at making one of these for when I venture out in the wood behind our home. I might have to find a smaller compass to set in the top as the sticks behind our house are mostly Hazel, they grow straight but some what skinny around. Thanks again for reminding me why God gave us hands. Keep well "Mountain Man".

      I have several reacher grabbers. Some have a light and some have a magnet on each jaw. I’ve never used the lights but the magnets have come in handy occasionally. A well thought out design could include those features. The problem with them is they are not made very well at all. If you made it with quality long life materials and styled it like an attractive cane I’d buy a few. The ones I have are very useful to me.

      @@OzarkArtsandCrafts I never said "don't burn it". I just said "tape it before you cut it". (This keeps the line from ballooning with the little glob of gunk at the end.) Fish it through the hole, tie your knot(s), _then_ melt it to keep it from fraying when you're happy with the knot placement and ends (after removing the painter's tape, ofc). The loose end of the unused spool is now more visible and _temporarily_ capped. A little bit of tinning wouldn't hurt, either. Keep up the good work!

      I make all my sticks without an end cap. I leave them long so people can cut the off to suit their height. I used to make them at custom lengths but found most buyers wanted either longer or shorter. So, I now make the all from 56 to 58" long so the customer can cut off as need to size. Also saves them some money by me not putting in Dexter cost for a tip of some kind. Thanks for your comment.

    A couple wooden beads on the tail ends of the cord would be a nice touch, not functional but nice appearance.

      I ad beads to the cord for some of my walking sticks. It does make for a nice touch.

    My wife does a lot of woodworking what is the positive helmet/mask that you are using?

    • @OzarkArtsandCrafts
      @OzarkArtsandCrafts  5 місяців тому

      The positive pressure face mask that I use is call the "Trend Airshield Pro Full Faceshield" I purchased it from Amazon. Here's a link if you want to check it out. amzn.to/3YXvY5k
      I may make a small commission if you were to purchase one but it's from Amazon, not you.
      Thanks for leaving a comment, sir.

    Nice stick I'm right at 6 feet and I need a walking stick right at 38 to 40 inches long and I need some weight to it I weigh 365 so I like a nice heavy stick. Thank you.

      That's why I leave them a little on the long side so people can cut them to the length they need or want. Most of my sticks will support more than what you need. Thanks for your comment.

      @OzarkArtsandCrafts  5 місяців тому +2

      A large variety hardwoods. Hickory, Sassafras, Maple, Hornbeam (Ironwood), Elm are some of my favorite. Selecting a hardwood is the key.

    Thank you - what do you think about lynnseed oil after stain?

    • @OzarkArtsandCrafts
      @OzarkArtsandCrafts  2 місяці тому

      I think it's better to use Tung oil after stainning. If you use Pure Tung Oil it is is also Food Safe. Lynnseed Oil is not food safe. Either way, I think Tung Oil is the better choice.

      Here's a link for those that I use. They seem to be fairly accurate for a cheap compass.

    Hi Dennis, may I ask what you put on the bottom of the stick that hits the ground? Also where do you get your sticks? Thanks your tutorials are great. 🇨🇦

    • @OzarkArtsandCrafts
      @OzarkArtsandCrafts  2 місяці тому

      I don't normally put anything on the tips. I leave them a little long so they can be cut off to preferred lengths. I get most sticks from hikes in my 40 acre woods and also from other private woods that I always ask permissions to gather fallen branches. I hardly every cut anything.

    Is "Direct-ometer" the same thing as a compass?

      @OzarkArtsandCrafts  9 днів тому

      Yes, A compass does give you a direction, so I called it a 'directometer'
