How to make a walking stick (Self Defence Stick)

[@Captain-Electro]

When you made the first one a few years ago, I had the idea to make one with the metal cap and give it to my dad for his birthday. My mom and dad still walk the neighborhood with it.

[@WeaponCollector]

Thats very cool, i'm glad that other stick inspired you to make one mate, cheers for watching Dave.

[@Grime443]

That looks wicked mike I find it amazing how you make stuff with some simple looking materials and tools your very talented 💯👌💯

[@WeaponCollector]

Thank You Smiley, i'll be honest i was really happy with this, and only took an evening too, glad you liked it mate!

[@Grime443]

WeaponCollector definitely did 💯👍💯

[@TheDavewatts]

Nice one for the great idea, I made a staff with the full size handle, rounded the end stained it dark oak and varnished, turned out great, going to be doing a walking stick next.😁👍🏻

[@john_free_thinker]

It came out really nice, I love the old antique look to it. It is like a super long trench club. Over all, good work.

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks John, your right it is like an over sized trench club isn't it, glad you liked it and thanks for watching.

[@john_free_thinker]

@@WeaponCollector no problem. I thought you were going to do a cane sword, but this is still really cool. I now might have to make 2 cane weapons. One cane sword and one cane club.

[@sleepyrasta420]

@@john_free_thinker cane swords and other disguised weapons are illegal here in the UK.

[@john_free_thinker]

@@sleepyrasta420 Really, wow. I am happy to live in the U.S. Even blue states are ok with that stuff, mostly.

[@chrismead1464]

I plan on making a self defense walking stick from two red oak planks from Lows in the U.S. as that is the most prevalent "strong wood" I have access to. Still planning it out in my head.

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Chris, red oak will make a lovely walking stick i reckon,

[@davidcrabtree5845]

I never thought of using some of my leather dye on a stick. Great idea. I will try it on a spare closet clothes rod I have. Nice, simple and informative video as well.

[@WeaponCollector]

its work very well to stain the wood, putting varnish on can sometimes have a bit if a reaction - then yo mix with the varnish, not an issue usually, but if it drips onto the ferrule you can see it, but can be wiped of easily, still a good overall dye though.

[@Ryan-zv3os]

Lol that things a beast of walking stick. Nice build the groves add good grip.

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Ryan, came out pretty nice didn't it, I really liked that stain too.

[@sak94]

That looks really smart Mike, great work mate!

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Stu, I will do a few more I reckon, really happy with this one.

[@theniguy694]

this is gonna be awesome, been thinking about making one of these for a while

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Ethan, hope this helps you out, i will do more soon, really enjoyed making this one.

[@eugenevictortooms4174]

Nice job, it looks really good.

[@shcomptech]

Looks good, I must get around to making a walking stick some time.

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks mate, i really liked the outcome with this one, and will defo do more myself.

[@steadynumber1]

Bill Sikes staff comes to mind, for those who know their Dickens.

[@markirish7599]

Beautiful craftsmanship

[@StuG-]

Nice one Mike, excellent work!

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Stug, glad you liked it mate, cheers.

[@ObjectHistory]

Looks pretty awesome and very functional. It would be a serious self-defense stick with those dimensions and the beech wood.

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Robert, glad you liked it, should be a very solid stick shouldn't it. cheers mate

[@midnightmosesuk]

That's a good looking stick, I think I might give this a try.

[@WeaponCollector]

Thank you, glad you liked it mate, cheers

[@asurasyn]

You can tell this man walks softly.

[@markberto9648]

Looks great! Thanks for this share. 👍

[@mooseolini1447]

Ah, it's a beauty. Good work, sir.

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks mate, glad you liked it.

[@peach8685]

Nice one and it doesn't look too aggressive

[@WeaponCollector]

Cheers Peach, yeah thats partly why i added the spiral, thought it would make it look much more like a non aggressive walking stick.

[@mjc4942]

Nice work. I've done 2 double twists sticks with a knife. That took a long time. I think I'll be getting some new tools

[@WeaponCollector]

Sounds great, hopefully this will work well you you!

[@docink6175]

Because of my bad back and knee I prefer a staff because its easier to use to support me when standing still so I was mentally screaming NO when you cut that pole although I dont think it would have been tall enough anyway. the finished stick looked great

[@1stinlastout165]

On a walk in a location with my wife and son some fool though it a good idea to challenge us thinking I was old and a push over and tried to mug us ? I had my blackthorn hill walking Cain and he gave me no other option but to teach him a painful lesson in how not to treat people he thought were weak and an easy target. He is a landowner now as as I gave him a couple of ackers with a swift smack in the knacker's and a jab in the back to wind him to the point of not getting up till we left the area! You never know when a idiot may show up, my ex Army motto was ready for anything after all. By the way it's a walking stick to aid me as I have a back condition and need this for additional support, it's not a weapon of any disruption but in a given situation and fear for my life and families I was left with no other option but to protect and protect I did!

[@SageLatrans]

Looks great and its relatively inexpensive? Definitely going to make one for myself!

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks for watching, yes, cost around £15 at most i'd say.

[@lappbricks3995]

Looks great mike i like the spiral a lot. Trench club with the leftover wood?

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks mate, glad you liked it, ah yes trench club, good idea, i shall do that if i can find the right head for one!

[@keithlewis1741]

Stunning !!!!

[@snakebite4891]

awesome job

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks mate

[@londoncrew8860]

Looks wicked 😎

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks mate

[@lyca0n535]

Cool like a Shillelagh

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks mate, it is similar to shillilagh isn't it.

[@ItchyThirdEye-j6u]

Awesome, if you call it a defense stick in the UK and use it for that purpose it becomes illegal, however if its a walking stick and you need to defend yourself with it, it's not. I read that somewhere so just might be bollox.

[@asurasyn]

So, lemme test my understanding here... The Brits have made _sticks_ illegal too?

[@ItchyThirdEye-j6u]

@@asurasyn my understanding is only if you carry for self defense.

[@ItchyThirdEye-j6u]

actually, only if you admit to it.

[@BOSS_MAN_DAN]

Looks really good mate! How long did it take you to make it? :)

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Dan, glad you liked it mate, it was all done in one evening, from about 7pm till 10pm

[@user-yo1fb1kg4omykehiggs]

That is a really nice piece of work, if you ever make another, may I suggest you taper the bottom end a little more then add an "Alpine Spike" type ferrule, they're fairly easy to find online. Once again, very nice work!!

[@chrislxxix3626]

Very well done :-)

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Chris

[@WeaponCollector]

@@gashgoblin9987 Doesn't take long to make either mate, took about 3 hours and that was with filming too.

[@kuzinit2374]

You can cut off about 11” off the top and make a scabbard, then fix a 10” blade to the bottom, now you will have a 30” short spear with a 10” blade

[@albion1949]

Totally illegal.

[@krs120]

If its hip length or slitly taller its a cane if its any taller is a walking 🚶 stick so ur makeing a cane last time was a walking 🚶 stick

[@paulinoeugenia2660]

Very nice Dear Sir 👍

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks mate

[@lightnsalt8166]

Just wondering, have you thought of a brass collar for the sticks? Would it be good or too soft a metal. I would value your opinion. Thank you.

[@WeaponCollector]

Brass would work great and look nice too, only reason I don't usually do them in brass is because I'd have to buy it, but would work great though.

[@jesusismylord1496]

Looks quality

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Ironman, cheers mate

[@Alessio.zucconi]

Super! Can you make One!

[@philipcrawford9000]

Even the cut off could be made into a truncheon

[@WeaponCollector]

Thanks Phil yeah that off cut would make a good truncheon wouldn't it and it's only cost a tenner for a walking stick and truncheon.

If I find myself needing to fend off some illegal boat arrivals, how many will she dispatch before she wears out or will she keep going? Asking for a mate who needs a walking stick due to dizzy problems. Cheers.

I like your content, but the lens you use makes every thing look bent (or not straight). Its annoying as hell.

I'm saving up for another camera as I don't like it either, it's hard though as I have no job, get no benefit money either and I'm demonetised on KZbin

hahaha, thanks Roy, came out nice ion the end didn't it. glad you liked it.

[@sleepyrasta420]

Wrap some barbed wire around it 😝

haha, maybe next time, lol

A less conspicuous option would be studded leather. Would look more badass and add some steel studs to rip and tear if needed.
