Grandma's New Cane

Oh Wow, Gee, that is the same type that I use for myself. Great looking job you did there. Mom will like it I am sure. I like your lathe. I was thinking of buying one also for projects but I am running out of room to set things up in the garage. But that one looks like it could be stowed away pretty easily. Take care buddy.

-- Rich, Nevada,

Thanks Richard. It’s not as light as it looks but it sits on a shelf ok. Maybe around 100 lbs.

Looks good, Karson! You going to post some more photos when you finish carving the face on it? <g>

Neat Job, Karson. Grandma be proud. Nice little lathe as well.

-- Thos. Angle

I’m not going for the scrimshaw end cap or the wheel chair races carved down the shaft. Maybe the one for my wife.

Karson, that new lathe does do a good job. Grandma should be pleased.

Nice looking cane, Karson!

Glad to see someone else’s workshop looks like mine! I was beginning to feel a little self conscience.

Sorry Lew. That just happened to be the way it looks today. Well really everyday.

i love the handle!

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

Excellent job Karson and seems to have gone together pretty quickly. I would recommend you finish the kitchen before I made one for the wife. I’m not sure I would arm my wife in the middle of a kitchen remodel. She may find other uses for it. :-)

Another tool Karson? If you have not seen Karson’s shop, you have missed a sight. He has a great collection of tools but his wood stash is a Marvel!!! How many board feet you have there Karson…10,000?

BTW, the persimmons were excellent. Now I’m going to have to find some around here.

-- Greg - Charles Town, WV

Good point Greg. No weapons in time of stress. Would Pink Handcuff Lady agree with that.

You should be here now. We are getting about 10 persimmons a day getting ripe.

They sale them at Walmart around here for $1.00 a piece.

Very nice cane, and Karson I really like the detail you put iinto the “how to” part of your projects.

-- Brian, Lebanon PA, If you aren’t having fun doing it, find something else to do.

Very nice cane Karson!

Excellent Karson.

I appreciate the how to’s also. Have not learned that yet. Your cane is Simply beautiful. I’d say subtly masterful.

-- mtnwild (Jack), It's not what you see, it's how you see it.

You still move pretty fast when you have to Karson. Great job for a good cause, I don’t think Mark’s worried. GB

-- Mike. mwurm13@yahoo.com

Hey Karson;

Mark may as well leave town!!

Nice job.

Lee, I think Karson must have taught Mark!.

Watch out, this can become addicting.

Oh, how I miss my lathe, which I couldn’t get out of the old house when we moved. I used to make walking sticks fairly frequently.

Nice job.
