Now that I'd like to see Wood Nut surfing the back of the ute turning as Tony zips around 16 k's of S's you'd have it done by the time you got here then Wood nut could use it I hear Brets place is a bit of a hike

Awaiting Brass although I bought some today $99 for a 1m x 56 mm dia Sue fainted

Took some searching to locate this thread didn't think it was that long ago sorry Tony almost completed.

Joint for Tony

Man those New Zealanders know how to make things difficult oval shaped as well as wouldn't run true............then the bloke who tried to centre the cut before I got them.

On darwing the TPI is noted as 24tpi the finished product is 16tpi thanks to mates boss who had tap and die set to suit ............yes I know I had dreams of cutting my first thread on the Myford at 24 tpi but in discussion with a few and my own thoughts 24 tpi was to fine for the use.

Nice work…..but what is a Hicking Suck Adaptor as per drawings???? Sounds kinda kinky

They are Kiwi Hiking sticks after all

I think in NZ they are called Tramping Stucks.
They look awesome. Thanks Ray.
I'll fire off a pm in a minute.

Yes I remember a mate of mine telling me how he and his wife like to go for a good tramp.

I remember this thread from when it first popped up.

All things considered Ray I think its a damn fine job.

Thanks all for the kind comments.

All completed cept for final finish on timber leaving that for Tony to do.

Anyone who was in Cubs/Scouts, Boys Brigade/CEBS, Girl Guides or even military some schools even and were flag bearers will surely have come across a similar joint used often with longer/deeper recess for the timber to sit in.

For Mr & Mrs Gandalf

I'm really impressed.

How do you join the sockets so firmly to the stick?

The link to the walking cane place was wonderful. Thanks for sharing.
