"Once you feel you've gone to the edge of where you can take it, know when to stop" Reminds me of a conversation my old man had with me about "recreational substances" lol. That's a good rule to remember not only for woodworking but life in general

Fantastic video Andy! Lordy, how I'd love to sit with you for a day or two to go over the finer parts, share a coffee and talk sticks! I was a little down in the dumps this evening. Video couldn't have hit at a better time. Brought me right out of the funk I was in. I so would love to see you work through to completion of this particular hiking stick. You're going to run me crazy if I don't see it finished. Please extend my compliments to Jamie for excellent camera work! Great video my friend!

Hi,thanks for supporting comments. Yeah it would be good to have a neighbour to have a coffee in the workshop and chat about world events and conclude what should be done to fix things. Had a run of custom orders to fully finish up in the last few days so been tied up in workshop with only walking bracken to escape into the daylight. Jaime is not keen on being on camera so she's happier being behind scenes. Thanks for watching. Andy.

Hi, it was nice meeting yourselves also, yeah The stick is fully built and now the Woodburning and spray job then polyurethane top coats to be done.Its looking extremely nice already. This bit is all about drying time between paint and polyurethane now.Thanks for watching, Andy.

After the epoxy work, put a long piece of tape on shaft and over the crotch of the handle, pull down hard and wrap tape around shaft to help keep pressure on the handle. It should help. Two pieces of tape may be better.

Hi, yeah the tape holding things tight is the best option in these crafting circumstances .If I remember on this the joint it was quite tight but I should've used tape as you described. Thanks for watching and commenting. Appreciate the feedback. Andy.

One could also use a ratchet strap (like one used for keeping boxes tight when gluing up). Wrap it end to end. Only add enough power to pull the joint tight.

Hello Andy, Great video mate and one I understand well, have done lots of thumb sticks (and yes split some as well). You would probably get fed up with me next door because I would be round borrowing your epoxy if I ran out 😂😂 Cheers and take care.

Hi,the problem for me is 98% my crafting is hiking sticks simply cause that's part of my core outdoors interests (hiking).This means I harvest simply for that style, I may devote a harvesting session to thumb sticks then I may not have to do so many toppers to supply thumb sticks when asked for one. As seen you always run out of epoxy when you don't have the car available, the shops are closing soon or you just want to complete a job there and then...lol.Thanks for watching, Andy.

Perhaps you could use a very small drill to drill down 2 holes before you creates the dowel and you'll have the space for epoxy to go to when you put the "Y" on!

Hi, thanks for suggesting this. I haven't considered this so it may be worth considering. Thanks for watching.Andy

Hi, yes my pronunciation is poor because of my cornish accent. It's a hard wood that is quite rot resistant .It's kinda darker redish brown in colour. My boss makes windows from this wood .
