I show you how to straighten sticks using a simple press in a vice with heat from an electric paint stripper.
Excellent! This is great because you used simple tools that I already own. Your tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Glad it can help you - just take your time with it though until you’ve done a few.
how green is the wood you are working with?
Not green at all - seasoned at least a year.
@@keithpickering2587thanks very much.
Thank you so much for this, and thank you for having the transcript in the description. With four kids and the animals running around i need subtitles, and youtube tends to mess up subtitles a lot. Whenever you spoke while the paint stripper was running i couldnt hear anything, and youtube subtitlea just read "...music...". Again, thank you.
Nice! Thank you. 😊
Love the sound of a sharp knife cutting wood..
Great. Thankyou.
Hi Keith , thanks for your knowledge. I cut some hazel about three or four months ago, have I left it too long to use your method ?
I have a beautifully straight Blackthorn stick from you. it's approx 3/4 inch thick! I'm sure it would have been a real pain to straighten without one of these, if it was even possible, due to the thickness! Take care Graham
Muito bom vídeo. Você tem vídeo como fazer a cabeça da ave ?
Not yet, sorry.
thanks keith my stick straightener came today,i have 6 sticks to straighten,justa bit of fun ,nothing serious,thank you
Been using your press for a long time now. In fact recently bought another to do more sticks quickly. Great little video though!
Glad you find the press and the video helpful Jeff. I still find it amazing how many we sell!
cor it works then,mine just came i got 6 to straighten
This is fantastic. I was wondering how I would be able to put a copper tip on my stick. This method looks great!
shame of the poor sound quality.
Do you use wood glue or epoxy resin?
I always use epoxy but I know some people who use wood glue. Basically it’s up to your preference.
@@stickman315 yes I agree with epoxy alot stronger
Can you post to republic of Ireland
Great video - sad that you dont ship to Denmark😢
nice 1
Great video ,what's the best glue to use to secure it please
Two-part epoxy in my experience. Available in my website but lots of other outlets too.
Very interesting thanks just subscribed 👌
Am I seeing correctly that this straightening jig is only 5.70 on your website!!!! Seriously !!!....it looks amazing
You can always pay more - but the press is only a small part of the process. The idea was to show you how to do it - not sell stick presses!
Thanks for the info. Nice clear instructions. Cheers Jim
I just started making sticks. By coincidence I found your site and vlogs. I thanks for sharing this info. Question do you ship to the Netherlands I am interested in the stick straightener. Cheers from the Netherlands 🇳🇱
We do - but delivery times are very varied since Brexit.
Not a great camera position. Great work though👍
Thanks Paul - I don't normally "do" videos but people kept asking - I just propped my tablet on a shelf as I have no camera!
I love this channel. More vids, pleeeeease!!!
When I have time I'll do more!
Quick and easy way to straight a shank. Thank you so much. It's a pity your shanks can't be bought from Spain😢😢
Hi I'm a total novice could you use a square tenon and mortise for this
I suppose you could - but why would you make it more complicated than a round one? It's very difficult to cut a square socket in a stick head or handle but very easy to drill one out.
@@stickman315 not if you've got a morticer 😉
@@plipertyplap4899 I'm still not convinced - a round hole allows you to rotate the head and shank to get the very best fit you can and produce a joint with no gaps. A square peg and holes relies on you doing both perfectly first time, every time. If it works for you that's fine - but I couldn't recommend it to a beginner.
@@stickman315 yep understand what your saying its only the fact a square peg in a round hole has no chance of twisting I'm certainly not trying to rewrite how sticks are made a d without doubt I'd take your advice over mi e cheers 👍
Thanks Keith, I'm looking forward to having a crack at it!!
try it on a few stick off cuts Paul before using your best shank!
@@stickman315 will do Keith.
Does this work for harder and denser wood such as YEW and Elder
I’ve used it on yew and elder - but I’d argue that they are not denser than hazel or blackthorn 🤔.
Many thanks for your vid's. Been using a book to learn the skills. Made Cardigan stick for my father with a traditional peg joint. Last stick i tried the thread bar type. Hated the flex around the joint, co back to peg joint for me. I have also reinforced a peg joint with a nail as described in my book. Many thanks for sharing your experience. Regards
Thanks Tommy. Please do NOT use a nail in your peg joints. I get lots of sticks for repair, nearly all made with threaded rod but a few with badly made peg joints - and those "reinforced" with a nail. It doesn't reinforce the peg, it actually undermines it because all those broken ones I've had started with the nail in the centre of the peg and drifted offline to one side, so weakening that side! A well made wooden joint is all you need, don't mess with it.
@@stickman315 Many thanks for the reply pure peg joint it is then. Do you have any shanks available to purchase, or are you still cleaned out. Regards
We still have plenty of shanks on the website. We don’t have many seasoned-only just now but once I go through them in the drying shed and trim some up they’ll be added to the straightened ones already on the site.
Great! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
Hi Keith. Your doing good job with the videos..what's more the are nice to watch keep up the good work..pat IRL.....
Thanks Pat, glad you enjoyed it and hope it helps you a bit.
That was great 👍
Glad you enjoyed it - I hope it helps you!
Great video. I have tried this, but the problem I have is how to ensure the tape goes round straight so that you join is flush. Any tips please?
If you struggle then hold the stick in the vice upright so the joint will be at your eye level and put the first end across the stick - your eyes are good at seeing whether things are level or not. Once you get the first bit in, turn the stick about a quarter turn and pull the tape round, keeping it in line with the first end. After a couple of turns you can see the first bit and line them up. If it’s out of line pull the tape off and redo it. It takes a little bit of practice but you will get there!
Great video Keith I’m off to practice, thankyou
Well done Keith, I have picked up some great tips from you since joining stickmakers.
That’s the idea - hopefully I’ll do a few more when I get time.
A vid showing how you fit Ferrules would be interesting... cheers
Thanks for sharing, great info.. cheers
Well done Keith! Thanks for the lesson!
I got my first Press form Keith in 2008 ....Brilliant and so easy to use !!
Thanks for the info... cheers
Thanks Keith for this it's great instruction and brilliant tips
very instructive Keith thanks, how about another video showing us how to make the stick press
I’ve only just found out how to make videos and put them online - don’t rush me into more of them just yet 😉
