Marking Cut for Walking Cane
Ok our next step is to take the tree branch we are going to use for the cane. Stand this next to it, for my height, this cane will land right about the back of my hand should be right up here. I am going to make a little mark, right about here. That should be good. I'm going to chop it off on my chop saw. Set the branch up in the saw like this. Make sure if you wear long sleeves that your sleeves are rolled up. Make sure you wear something over your eyes, so chips don't fly. In this case my glasses will work ok. I'm going to put this clamp onto the chop saw. That's going to hold our branch in place so it doesn't spin while we cut it. Ok. That's pretty good, and now we are ready to cut it off. Hold the piece of wood firmly. And there it is. That's going to be just about right when I put the handle on it.
