frankorona Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Wonderful work and great idea, thanks for sharing. Quote
Jim Finn Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 Love it.Darn good job.Is it for looks,or is it useable? :thumbs: Yes it is usable. I made the whole thing, including the dowel and the gun/handle of three 3/8" pieces of walnut. On the dowel part I left the center strip of wood extend past the others long enough to go to the rear of the gun. I then inlay the maple into the outside pieces of the gun part. The center 3/8" board of the gun I place at 90 degrees to the outsides to give the needed strength. The center strip of the dowel is glued in place inside the two outside pieces of the gun/handle atop the the cross grain center pieces of the gun. lawson56 1 Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 That's a novelty stick and you would be arrest in this country without fail and surround by about 20 police cars and they would probably shot you in the legs. lol what a great cane though Jim.Thanks for showing Roly. Quote
lawson56 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 Fantastic.Beautiful workmanship.Love it.I often wish I had a Lathe so I could do more work like that. :thumbs: Quote
Jim Finn Posted September 12, 2014 Author Report Posted September 12, 2014 Fantastic.Beautiful workmanship.Love it.I often wish I had a Lathe so I could do more work like that. :thumbs: I have a lathe but did not use it for this project. I glued three 1" x 38" walnut strips together and rounded them off with a round over bit on my router table. I made the center strip longer than the outer ones and did not round it off. This center piece then is glued in place in the handle/gun. Makes for a strong ninety degree joint. lawson56 1 Quote
