    Default Wooden toadsticker

    Some guy contracted me to make a wooden dagger for his daughters martial arts practice.

    Thanks Zed, I used African mahogany and Wenge for the blade, and Maple, Cherry, and Walnut for the handle.

    Something you stick a toad with.

    The northern half of our little island is infested with these dam great poison toads imported from South America last century to control some pest or another and about all they do is kill our native animals. So almost anything sharp and pointy you can kill tha bastards with is a "Toadsticker".

    Different,

    The best way of keeping their guts out of your eyes is to use my wife's method of despatching cane toads; give them a squirt of Dettol, and they are dead in 10 seconds, with no mess. But I am sure any cane toad would be proud to be stuck by Bubinga's toadsticker - a work of art.

    G'day mate, great job. Any chance you could forward some diagrams or plans you may have drawn up or sending me some (in progress) photographs?

    Sure can, but first I have to inform my customer of the very bad news. Unfortunately, with the law restrictions as well as the potential liability risks, I won't be able to sell the dagger to him. I feel like cr----ap for this, but I have been well advised against selling the dagger

    Rick,

    With Christmas just around the corner may be you should give them to him as a present and he in turn can return the favour by giving you a gift of say some tools of equivalent value.

    No selling, no liabilities just generous friends.


    Peter.

    Good idea Peter, I'm going to have to work something like that out. I find more dangerous looking sticks even while walking through the park.
