Ok today we are going to make a cane out of a tree branch. So you are going to need a good nice straight tree branch, this is one I found out in my yard, and I have already trimmed the edges. This is what a finished cane looks like. This one is a little bit short, because it was made for a short person, but it will show you the basic parts of the cane that we are going to make. To do this you are going to need a drill, something to make a top plug with, a spade bit to drill hole for the plug. You're going to need a thick lag screw, like this. You can go longer than this if you want, but for the purpose of our demonstration for today this one will be fine. You're going to need another drill to drill down for this screw. I'll show you this on our next clip.
