Re: Competed two new canes
Hi wrmnfzy, They are connected with a 5" length o 5/16th althread. 2 1/2 inch into the shank and the handle. I first drill a 21/ 64th hole about 2 5/8th" in each. The 5/16 althread will thread its way into the 21/64th hole, giving a tight fit. I dry fit the two parts confirming a good fit. once they fit well I remove the Althread and using a epoxy I swob the hole in the shank and spread it on 1/2 of the althread and screw it down into the shank. Once it is seated I repeat the epoxy on the top of the allthread and in the hole in the bottom of the handle and screw the handle down tight to the shank and clamp it tell it dries with a pipeclamp. To keep the epoxy off the outside of the wood I rap the top 2 inches of the shank and the outer handle with painters tape.wrmnfzy wrote:I might have missed it, but how is handle connected to the stick?
