My way of making a peg joint in real time, no editing.

Making a peg joint for attaching a stick head or handle to a shank.

Love the sound of a sharp knife cutting wood..

A vid showing how you fit Ferrules would be interesting... cheers

Well done Keith! Thanks for the lesson!

Great. Thankyou.

This is fantastic. I was wondering how I would be able to put a copper tip on my stick. This method looks great!

Great video Keith I’m off to practice, thankyou

[@declancasey9100]

Well done Keith, I have picked up some great tips from you since joining stickmakers.

[@stickman315]

That’s the idea - hopefully I’ll do a few more when I get time.

Many thanks for your vid's. Been using a book to learn the skills. Made Cardigan stick for my father with a traditional peg joint. Last stick i tried the thread bar type. Hated the flex around the joint, co back to peg joint for me. I have also reinforced a peg joint with a nail as described in my book. Many thanks for sharing your experience. Regards

[@stickman315]

Thanks Tommy. Please do NOT use a nail in your peg joints. I get lots of sticks for repair, nearly all made with threaded rod but a few with badly made peg joints - and those "reinforced" with a nail. It doesn't reinforce the peg, it actually undermines it because all those broken ones I've had started with the nail in the centre of the peg and drifted offline to one side, so weakening that side! A well made wooden joint is all you need, don't mess with it.

[@tommyatkins5163]

@@stickman315 Many thanks for the reply pure peg joint it is then. Do you have any shanks available to purchase, or are you still cleaned out. Regards

[@stickman315]

We still have plenty of shanks on the website. We don’t have many seasoned-only just now but once I go through them in the drying shed and trim some up they’ll be added to the straightened ones already on the site.

[@cooperwelsh3471]

I just started making sticks. By coincidence I found your site and vlogs. I thanks for sharing this info. Question do you ship to the Netherlands I am interested in the stick straightener. Cheers from the Netherlands 🇳🇱

[@stickman315]

We do - but delivery times are very varied since Brexit.

try it on a few stick off cuts Paul before using your best shank!

Muito bom vídeo. Você tem vídeo como fazer a cabeça da ave ?

[@stickman315]

Not yet, sorry.

[@paulcoverley4115]

Great video ,what's the best glue to use to secure it please

[@stickman315]

Two-part epoxy in my experience. Available in my website but lots of other outlets too.

[@yorkshirebengal1620]

Great video. I have tried this, but the problem I have is how to ensure the tape goes round straight so that you join is flush. Any tips please?

[@stickman315]

If you struggle then hold the stick in the vice upright so the joint will be at your eye level and put the first end across the stick - your eyes are good at seeing whether things are level or not. Once you get the first bit in, turn the stick about a quarter turn and pull the tape round, keeping it in line with the first end. After a couple of turns you can see the first bit and line them up. If it’s out of line pull the tape off and redo it. It takes a little bit of practice but you will get there!

[@stephenmurray2993]

Do you use wood glue or epoxy resin?

[@stickman315]

I always use epoxy but I know some people who use wood glue. Basically it’s up to your preference.

[@stephenmurray2993]

@@stickman315 yes I agree with epoxy alot stronger

[@plipertyplap4899]

Hi I'm a total novice could you use a square tenon and mortise for this

[@stickman315]

I suppose you could - but why would you make it more complicated than a round one? It's very difficult to cut a square socket in a stick head or handle but very easy to drill one out.

[@plipertyplap4899]

​@@stickman315 not if you've got a morticer 😉

[@stickman315]

@@plipertyplap4899 I'm still not convinced - a round hole allows you to rotate the head and shank to get the very best fit you can and produce a joint with no gaps. A square peg and holes relies on you doing both perfectly first time, every time. If it works for you that's fine - but I couldn't recommend it to a beginner.

[@plipertyplap4899]

@@stickman315 yep understand what your saying its only the fact a square peg in a round hole has no chance of twisting I'm certainly not trying to rewrite how sticks are made a d without doubt I'd take your advice over mi e cheers 👍
