I enjoy seeing and hearing all the talented people around the world post what they have and what they can do. It's amazing to see just how much talent is out there! HUMANS are really amazing creatures- WOW! I also very much appreciate all those who have subscribed to my channel. I have tried to sub everyone who subscribed to me, but if I have somehow missed you, please let me know and I will fix it.
good question is WHY i must run after them? i wanted to find a cheat-mod for it WHY I can't collect them like animus fragments as example WHY i must run after them?!! can you answer that simple question?!! i hate this game because of it, because i must run after shanties for no reason
Just started playing this a few weeks ago and MAN these things are annoying. Thanks for the post - this will remove the frustration of collecting these things!
If you've owned one before (or should I say, was owned by one before), then you know what is coming... But if this is the first time with a JRT, then you have both my admiration and sympathy. They can rearrange your priorities and fill the hole in your heart like no other breed (IMO). If you think you have no "hole" in your heart, you'll certainly know soon, when it's been filled. ♥
@@RonRay we lost our JRT of 13 years in Sept. He was truly a huge part of our family, such a personality and loyal friend. But, we’re gluttons for punishment and taking the plunge again.
Hello, I'm a fellow cane maker and I tend to watch a lot of videos about making canes and walking sticks. This cane has got to have the most perfect handle I've ever come across. I'm so impressed by your work that I try to model my own handles like this one. AWESOME !!! P.S. We don't have this type of tree where I'm from and I tend to use red birch or willow as well as 2x4's and old fence boards .
David, it has been 100°+ F (38°+C) for weeks here! We finally had some storms move through last night which was a relief, but also took out part of a tree in my front yard! 😲 ... Hoping we both get relief from the heat, but don't expect it until autumn. 😓
I read some of the comments. There are so many nice people out there. I enjoyed the video, especially because you didn’t spend all the time talking, and you didn’t put on some esoteric music
Thank you Mark... from the land where the "Shillelagh" - or "Sail éille" all began- Ireland. (Is your last name really "Irish!? If so, you are the true spirit of Ireland.)
@@RonRay I'm sorry to say my last name isn't Irish .but I am born and raised in South Dublin not far from the town in wexford called shillelagh where the origin of the stick is said to have been .so glad you are well .I was today just working my stick it's from a budjlea tree sometimes called the butterfly bush I hope it turns out as beautiful as your hedge apple stick .we don't have that here in Ireland unfortunately but I suppose I should be thankful we have blackthorn
Hard to tell what's going on here with the poor video quality and the jump-cuts. All I see is a lot of fumbling. The silence isn't helping either. Why don't you narrate?
@@RonRay I have some ofthat Osage myself, and I agree its tough material! I guess the fact thati am a woodcarver helps reveal thatI have SHARP saws. I love the shape of your staff; fits the hand well, it looks like!
I know *_exactly_* what you mean. For years I tried desperately to obtain blackthorn, as you have there, but could not (and still can not), get it. (The only way is to buy a finished stick...) 15 years ago, I even considered planting blackthorn from cuttings (shipped), here in Alabama, but the Department of Agriculture here will not allow it. If shipping didn't cost so dang much, I'd send you a stick of it, but it's too expensive. Thank you for watching.
@@joegrande4848 Joe, that's an oscillating multi-tool from Harbor Freight. The one I have is corded, but now they have a good cordless one that is relatively cheap. www.harborfreight.com/merchandising-promotions/clearance/12v-cordless-variable-speed-oscillating-multi-tool-kit-68012.html Thanks for watching.
i came from a cheat engine video where you stated that you were 65 years old and im surprised that someone like you is into game hacking, why is that? genuinely interested
Man yeah! I'm now 72 and still into games and Cheat Engine Tables. :) Thanks for following the lead. But to answer your question, I have been into gaming since computers first came on the scene, back with the Commodore 64 and when I learned that they can be manipulated, I was hooked. ... Still am!
@21:12 "Bend and split on me will ya! You've been found 'Guilty', and (since you're already 'Dead" :-) , sentenced to Hang until you are Dry and Stable! I realize at age 68 back then, you're not one to be want to be waiting for a stick shank to season (dry out) a year or two,..... but for your audience it's always best to leave the bark ON, and coat the ends with melted wax or other sealer to slow down the drying process at those points. Since the ends are fully exposed to open air, they will dry much faster than the rest of the stick, and will likely form cracks unless sealed. Oh, Osage Orange is also used to make fine Long Bows,..... so don't blame the wood entirely ,....for "bending" is in it's DNA! By the way, at age 65 myself in 4 months,.... I'm sometimes nervous buying Green Bananas! :-) Cheers, Joe T Ti Rod Tactical
Great comment, Joseph. :) I always seal the ends of a stick the day I cut them. This stick was cut 10 years prior to this video, so it was well seasoned and as hard as Osage gets (i.e. equivalent to iron ;). You are correct in every other way. Bending is the nature of the beast. This stick has since split all the way down its length, even with several coats of spar varnish. I have another wonderful Osage stick that is the same age and straight as a flag pole that I might try to "follow the rings", as bowyers put it, to avoid splitting. It is 7 feet long, straight and has no deviation in diameter from one end to the other. The mother tree was growing in a hardwood forest, so the limbs had to streeeetch up to the canopy for light, making those limbs as straight as ANY limbs I have ever seen, let alone Osage. Thank you for watching and for your most knowledgeable comment.
I don't know of any who make sticks/canes from Osage. The wood is so hard to work with... This cane has since split, even with several coats of spar varnish. Thanks for watching.
@@davidhughes8661 No, but you have much better... BLACKTHORN! I once looked into importing and growing blackthorn here, but was informed that wasn't allowed. I would kill for blackthorn. :)
@@RonRay yes we have I could not make the sticks you do with arthritis in my hands and leg joints been using a stick for two years now , hope you are keeping well . Dave north west uk
Thanks tons for making this DYI. Great job and beautifully done. Just one thing I wish you would have shared, how to straighten (you call it Osage Orange, most of us here is call Bois de' arc, or Horse Apple) and all I can find it is in like a C curve or crooked as a dog's hind leg. How do you get it straight?
You are correct in that I should have shown that. I have a large PVC pipe (4" diameter, 6' in length), that i connect a portable steam cleaner hose to and steam it for 1 hour for every inch of diameter of the wood. Then, while the wood is hot and moist, I bend it and tie it off until it cools. If you don't want to go through all of that, make a jig that would resemble two rectangles, two feet apart, like this: [] [] They must be anchored down to a table or something solid... The stick goes inside the two rectangles (or squares). Place a small hydraulic jack between the rectangles and beneath the stick... Now, add spacers (wood blocks), on top of the jack until the spacers reach the stick. (Protect the stick with padding if you want to keep it's bark or exterior. Use padding in the jig and on top of the spacer blocks.) Turn the stick until the curve is 'down'. Now, use a heat gun and SLOWLY heat the stick until it is very hot, but don't let it burn or scorch. Apply upward pressure on the stick by raising the jack (while maintaining heat), until you see the curve or bend leaving the stick. Go a little beyond where you want it, because it will spring back afterwards... Then let it stand for a couple of hours. You might have to move the stick and apply this heat/pressure to a couple of places, but as long as you get the wood HOT, it will do the same thing a 'steam'.
