In this video, I'll show you how to make a simple antler hiking stick topper. A fun way to decorate your walking stick. I use a sambar antler and placed a 20 mm compass on the top of the hiking stick topper. You only need a few simple tools.
Most of the hiking stick components can be purchased from Treeline USA: treelineusa.co...

How many people could SMELL that antler being sanded with that disc sander?

@fouroakscrafts7240 9 месяцев назад

It wasn't too bad. I try to do my sanding outside, but yes, it's not a pleasant smell.

Now if this was me i would have my fingers glued to my nose and be in emergency and the stick stuck to my hand permanently!! ,🇨🇦😁

Why can I smell this video?! LMAO !

@fouroakscrafts7240 Месяц назад

Yes, that can be a challenge sometimes. I like to have a fan blowing across the carving area and I like to do this outdoors if I can.

Not much experience working with antler. I only know it stinks when you grind or drill through it. As a wood turner, I should give it a try.

@fouroakscrafts7240 15 дней назад

Thanks for the comment! I notice the smell when I drill, but I also turn antler on the lathe and never smell it then because I have the dust collector turned on. If you have a fan or dust collector it's really not that bad. when carving antler, I generally try to do it outside with my fan blowing across the work area.

I got a bunch of walking sticks and I got a bunch of deer antlers. What a combination. I love it!! Can't wait to get started!!!! Great idea

thanks for watching! Have fun!

@williamwolfe3277 6 месяцев назад

I can smell that sanded antler now!

@fouroakscrafts7240 6 месяцев назад

LOL - I definitely recommend doing any antler sanding outside and preferably with some fans blowing.

That was a really great end result, thank you for sharing! Would you recommend epoxy resin as the best glue to attach the handle to the stick or would other wood glues work? I’m a newbie walking stick maker (just uploaded a video of my first attempt, I’d love to see your thoughts if you have time) and looking to learn more before my next attempt!

@fouroakscrafts7240 2 месяца назад

I think epoxy would be best since the hiking stick will be outdoors and subject to the elements, but there may be other glues out there that might work too. Let me know if you discover any new glues that might work.

@@fouroakscrafts7240 Ahh that makes sense, thank you for the advice, I’ll let you know if I find anything better 👍

I enjoyed watching this one, Stephen, especially since I have a few deer antlers lying around, and thanks for sharing the link to treelineusa. Keep on, keeping on!

@fouroakscrafts7240 7 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! It was a fun project to make. I love the unique character of deer antler. Although it can be a challenge to work with sometimes.

@WhittlingWoods 9 месяцев назад

Merry Christmas and thanks for watching!

Hard part is finding a good and that impacts the ground. I utilize a antique hole that the spade bit either broke off or wore off, it's been on my walking stick Shepherd's staff for almost 10 years and tell you the truth it doesn't look any different than when I first put it on except maybe a little smoother

Thanks for the comment!

@paullockyer7230 9 месяцев назад

Very nice work. If I could make one suggestion, using a slower setting epoxy would give you more working time and a stronger join.

@fouroakscrafts7240 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the suggestion! Good idea.

@Woodysback 4 месяца назад

Not everyone has a drill press, do this with a cordless drill,and an orbital handheld sander.

@fouroakscrafts7240 4 месяца назад

Good point! It's very doable with a hand drill and orbital sander. Just try to get the hole as straight as possible. There again, it doesn't have to be perfect.
