I seen an old gentleman walk into a Kmart a few years ago,,, He was limping a bit and noticed over my shoulder he was using a cane,,, I did not pay much attention to it and took a few steps and something clicked in my head that something was different about that cane so I stopped and turned around and took another look,,, I had to walk up to him and ask him if he was a woodworker ? He gave me a sly smile and asked , "How ya know, son". that was the coolest cane I have ever seen,,, a cane with the handle of a hand saw,,,, I told myself one day when I get a chance,, I am gonna make me some of those,,,, finally had a chance to wip some up and they turned out great,,, and they are a great router project,,, ya can really knock em out with the use of a pattern and some rough cut blanks,,, ya just use a pattern cutting bit and then a round over bit and then finnish them to your own taste,,, I put the "Real geniune plastic",,, diamonds and Jewels" on mine,,,, (no cuttin corners for my projects,, hahaha ) They simulate the rivets or bolts that hold the blade to the handle on real saws,, and people go nuts over them,,, I luckily do not need one yet myself,, but if I did,,,, I would have to use one of these,, they are soooo much more comfortable to use the a regular cane,,,
I wish I knew who that old guy was so I could thank him for this project,, its a winner and makes a fantastic gift,,, everyone I give one of these to for a gift always come back and want to know if I want to sell some of these because when they use them in public they say they are swamped with questons like where did they buy that and where can they buy one too... so it must be a hit.
