Planning for Makers Central 2023
Makers Central is being planned for 2023, and I’m hoping to attend with a bevy of Walking Sticks and other goods.
This year I’m going to do it a little different. Makers Central is after all an event for makers, so I’ll be focusing on how I make canes, rather than “a shop front”. I’ll be bringing many of the jigs and tools that I use, scheduling talks for how I make walking sticks, and offering a free measuring service.
I am also planning a much wider range of products, including…
Walking Stick Maker Kits
Choose from a wide selection of exotic or premium hardwood shafts and handle blanks, and transition material. You can pick a templated handle blank, or just a rough cut block for you to design your own handle. The kit will also include my fully documented process, which you can follow or just use for inspiration.
Walking Stick Handle Bottle Openers
A quirky bottle opener featuring a full scale walking stick handle in your choice of exotic or premium hardwoods.
Hand Plane Screwdriver
Lever cap screws are notoriously awkward to fasten with a conventional screwdriver, with it easily slipping out of the very large screw groove. My Hand Plane Screwdriver fits neatly over the outside of the screw, giving a secure and deft feel.
Walking Stick Holder
Finally, I will be making some wall mountable walking stick holders. The design of these will allow for exceptionally easy use, eleven for those shoes strength is waning. I’ll make a variety of sizes, allowing for storage of multiple canes, and room for more 😉.
