(When I was 20 I could throw an 80 pound bag of concrete over each shoulder and jog out to the car ... now my back makes noises, knees complain and hernia laughs with just one bag of concrete)
County Commissioners meet in the Courthouse and the pistol and knife and pepper spray have to stay outside our courthouse and they need a reminder on Stewardship when they are asking about raising taxes and subsidizing a city gym/pool with a half million dollars which is poorly managed ... so people in the city pay to go to ones from other cities nearby up to 40 miles away ...so the city uses !,000 watt halogen bulbs on the sign instead of the 600 watt ones thinking more people will come if the sign is brighter, when they should be lowering expenses with the 23 watt florescent floods on photocells..... they (some are newly elected) need to hear the stewardship sermon.
So anyway, last week I found myself needing a cane again

Figured I'll get a basic B-Grade one from canemasters to use for now.... and 2 blank stock canes to make a couple myself so I can put the teeth where I want them, make it diamond shaft probably or octagonal etc design my own horn, and do the finishing etc. much like their "custom order cane"
I got ideas on designing a unique one with some features from options http://www.canemasters.com/index.php?ma ... page&id=53" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
And, figured I"d pass along info for others who might be like-minded do-it-yourselfer or need a cane on a budget.right now people... I'm going to design one which TSA won't mind, ... and another one that's pretty radical..with a Shark's Tooth type Horn but some eyes and paint making it into a more realistic sparrow's/bird head beak type thing maybe ...

My diamond shaft, when I'm done shaping it, like the ones Canemasters shape, should work like the teardrop
