Perfect work but I prefer a hand cut slightly flawed stick. It is a great job tho.

Looks good Mike. After your 2 or 3 coats of poly, did you do any light sanding or buffing?

Eric, I did not sand but did buff it with Carnauba with the Beall system. Thanks....Mike

Mike, great job, looks nice. Where did you get your bottom copper cap? Never seen one like that.

Thank you Larry, I have a box with pieces of copper fittings I've picked up over the years hoping to use them one day, might have been trash, yard sale , just don't remember where I got that piece.

how long of a walking stick can you make? The steady rest seems to be an awesome idea, is that something you made or bought.

I think the longest I can make is 52", & yes I did make the steady rest.

On your steady rest, couldn't you remove two opposite arms and flip them before reinstalling them since the arm stock appears to be square? That would result in two opposite wheels closer to the headstock and the other two closer to the tail stock.

Don, the square tubing that I used came from a scrap bin (free) I had to grind each arm to fit in each respective slot & none will fit in another slot or even reversed in the same slot , so each sliding Tube is married to it's respective slot, the factory welded seams are not perfect, I could flip them but would have had to stop & do some grinding on the welds to make it slide if reversed , that explanation makes sense in my head not sure about anyone else :-) I should have used one size bigger tubes for the holding slots & that would have solved it but that was what I had available at the time, I'm sure I would make them differently (next time). I don't do a lot of long "thin" spindle work & they work great on anything bigger.

I’ve never tried using it in a spray gun but I’m sure you can. one sure way to find out is to try it.

Your work is excellent! I have a question. I have an inch and a quarter (square) strip of walnut. It is a bit over 3’ long. Would it be possible for me to have you turn it? I would like to have it turned down to 7/8” to 1”. I’ll pay what you say. Thank you.

Hi, thank you for you comments, I’m sorry but my shop was damaged by the last hurricane that hit Texas a few years back. I’m slowly getting it replaced but I’m afraid it’s still a long time away before I can turn again.
