Adam, a quick tip for you for locating that skull (or a similar project) to drill out an existing hole. Chuck a dowel in your Bridgeport and place the piece with the hole on the dowel. Lower the mill head to hold your piece and clamp tight. Your new hole will be exactly centered and perpendicular all in one shot!

Adam, I’m a hobbyist wood turner who has been actually getting into building canes lately. I gotta say, using your hands with the cutting tools on a wood lathe is a real experience that I highly recommend, it lets you feel your work in a way that a machinist lathe just doesn’t, but even still a well done job with the piece using metalworking tools. But seriously… STAINING BLACK WALNUT HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND!?!? Black walnut is such an amazingly beautiful wood, to cover that up with some stain….. it’s a sacrilege in my world. A deep shellac as a finish if you really want it darker, but just let the natural colors of the woods show
@AndrewArndts2 жыл бұрын
I too am a wood turner and Adam has a Jet Mini, nowhere near the capacity needed that his machinist lathe has, so yeah it is a good tool for this operation. Now gotta remember what the Late Charles Neil said about woods that end in "Nut" they lighten as time passes so again Staining is good. SO when you get a chance go search for Charles Neil in the You Tube search bar and I think most if not all of his dvds have been put on his channel. Much can be found about stains and dyes.
@tomsamper43452 жыл бұрын
@@AndrewArndts a pleasure to meet you my friend. And of course I get the capacity issue, I don’t fault him for using the machine lathe, just saying using the tools to cut it by hand is an extra experience worth having with your project. As far as stain on walnut goes, that’s certainly an argument, though especially in this instance, it won’t be facing extended outdoor exposure so the risk of fading is minimal especially within the time frame of it’s likely usage, and so I’m almost always an advocate of exposing the natural beauty of a material as much as possible using an artificial color to make it into something else just feels to me like it robs the wood of what it is meant to be. Don’t get me wrong if a customer is insistent on a very specific coloration and effect I’ll do it, but to my mind the best wood projects are as natural as possible.

I walk with a cane every day, and I make my own canes. When making the shaft of a cane, I always use laminated wood! I used to make canes from one solid piece of wood, but a hair of bad grain grows. If the cane starts to crack then it hits a lamination line and it stops cracking. You aren't left stranded in the middle of a store with a broken cane. Three pieces of wood glued together will save you a jagged broken mess.

WAIT a second Adam, wood lathes are "real" lathes, in fact they pre-date any metal lathe out there. (re 2:17 in the video) Adam, check out modern science on using hydrogen peroxide on wounds - it kills healthy cells that it touches making the wound take longer to heal, but of course it will still heal, so it's not terrible, it's just not the best. The modern recommendation is to only use hydrogen peroxide if you don't have access to a gentle soap and clean water (who doesn't have those but has hydrogen peroxide?). Research it and if you find this advice accurate please provide a better health PSA in future please.

I had a similar cane when we met at Nation of Makers in Santa Fe. Handy upgrade: mine is hollow, and contains a 18650 cell and charging circuit...basically the guts of a phone power bank. It is all in the lowest end of the cane, so you can take the rubber tip off the cane to charge it, but as a bonus, you can also plug a USB charge cable for your phone into it. Handy for a backup for phone power. I also had put a Nano in mine, along with some Neopixels in the eyes of the skull, with a tiny switch on the side of the cane just below the skull. Call it a "James Bond Plus" cane.

This whole project reminds of all of the time I spent with my father in the garage. He wanted a lathe, so he built one from old "Elf" car parts, an electric motor and some railway tracks. We would spend a lot of time together, over many years (3-25) turning various things and the smell of the wood being turned was phenomenal (sawdust and smoke)! From the age of three onwards, I would turn myself a new baseball bat every spring. The bats I made were the envy of all of the teams I played with and against. Even the opposition would use my bats. They were all in regulation. One of them was made from Veridian Plum. If you were able to connect, it was a guaranteed homerun! Anyway, all of this just reminded me of the time spent with my father. Made me very sad, but happy at the same time. After finishing, which was always so lovely to do, my favourite and most terrifying part is when you do the final cut and turn all the way through the wood and catch what you are making with your other hand! :)

For that cut on your hand, I would suggest a flexible dressing like tegaderm over a band-aid or plain gauze. They're extremely low profile, very flexible, and highly water resistant. I've used them over finger joints and been able to wash my hands multiple times over them without losing the adhesive or getting water underneath the dressing. Only downside is that they're relatively expensive, but probably better than hydrogen peroxide several times a day.

You amaze me with the just amount of projects you do at home, work, play. All with that happiness. I’m a walking cane user. My favorite canes are older ones that look so skinny it couldn’t be halting my 190# but off the floor. But they are lighter weight and less clunky like the fold out aluminum one from the pharmacy. I like a solid round metal end with a wrist wrap on wood. No swords.. although I really wanted to make a gadget cane that opens into a small game crossbow or crossbow fishing. The problem is I just don’t have the skill or tools yet. Maybe one day. If I could give you some quick advice. If you plan to use it in a costume. Take a small piece of deer hide supple leather on your palm and course side on the head. Even light tooling marks can cause sores very fast Calf skin gloves leather is more common. I want a cane that can be a holster and a cane at the same time. Maybe if I ever get to build my dream custom racegun I’ll build it for that.

If you get a significant cut, the best thing you can use to clean it out is a saline solution, preferably one blended for infusion, as it will cause less cell damage compared to alcohol or hydrogen peroxide, and lead to less scarring. For smaller scrapes, a few ounces may be enough to flush the wound, but for anything severe, plan on using several liters to ensure that all of the bacteria and debris has been flushed out. If you have any risk of aluminum, copper, or iron getting inside the wound, make sure to inspect the wound thoroughly to ensure that none is left behind, particularly aluminum as it causes the wound to fester rapidly. Use a bright light and some tweezers to remove any debris that won't just rinse out. Butterfly closures and a waterproof bandage overtop is recommended for any deep cuts, while shallow scrapes can just be closed over with a waterproof bandage designed to resist sticking to the wound. Cheap bandages will likely stick and pull at the wound as it heals. Also, avoid using any clotting agents unless the wound is bleeding profusely, as those impede healing. The more you know about first-aid and wound treatment, the better off you are. Curiously enough, as long as you thoroughly flush the wound, additional sterilization is often unnecessary, so keeping some bottles of saline in your first-aid cabinet can be more helpful than keeping hydrogen peroxide or alcohol. Also, any shop with some serious power tools should have a first-aid cabinet. Maybe a one-day build could be a first-aid cabinet. You could even pre-prepare the contents and video-call with an EMT or someone to discuss them and what they're used for and what circumstances might arise in a shop like that which could lead to their use.

You can easily set your headstock on your lathe to cut an exact taper over the length of your shaft.

Adam looks at skull in the vice …”I don’t love it” . I think we’ve all had setups like these that were “Questionable”.

If I remember correctly, the Day of the Dead cane from Spectre also had a metal ferrule just below the skull.

I had another look - there are three silver bands (rings?) below the skull… So yes. Not on the official replica, but clearly visible in the movie.

And the skull itself it isn't very screen accurate, the movie one it's a lot smaller than that replica.

For very small, delicate parts, I have heard of “ice chucks” where the part is frozen in water ice and a “really cold” coolant is used. I didn’t learn much more details though.
