I've dabbled with stick making, using many different kinds of material for the tops - I've even sold a few sticks - but today I learned that I've a long way to go to reach John Daly's standard. Thanks for posting this video.
Well I think nice wooden handles are a great way to practice and deer antlers are fairly plentiful and can make a useful stick too so keep making them becusse we are running out of these guys 😆
No these fellas don't even tend to be on social media..well i suppose it was a good thing that there was no tiktok when these fellas were starting out making sticks in the boring winters evenings or there'd have been no stickmaking lol
I called Tom first but he was all out of sticks and John just had 3 that suited what I wanted so I took those. I got a lovely stick from Tom and another friend of his at the Irish National sheepdog trials last year.
I live in Boise, Idaho, USA, would like to buy one of John Daly’s shepherd’s crook/ walking sticks. You mentioned that you might could arrange that. That would be much appreciated. -JFox
I am from navan county meath ireland we were discussing about the stick maker from my home town here in navan along the river Boyne It's salmon and trout season I kinda have an idea were he lives here in navan If that's any help to you
@@royalhilltararanger3947 Thanks very much for your offer. I think I will plan a trip to Ireland within the next couple of years and try to find one to buy, in person. Thanks again. -JF
@@ChurchmountSheepdogs I am interested in how things are made; the interaction of raw materials, ingenuity and skill. A cooking show working through the procedure in making a delicious napoleon, or a scrappy Pakistani machine shop turning out usable items, even works of art, this is what draws viewers. I made a comment to a man restoring a wooden boat in the midlands. It was all talk, a selfie of him walking around the boat. Whilst that hit a nerve, he admitted sheepishly it was a misguided stab at his 15 minutes of fame. CZcams viewers have attention spans a lot less than that.
I used to be good friends with a guy named Stan Randle. Sadly not with us now but a great friend and amazing stick maker.
can’t get enough of these videos with traditional craftsmen! thanks for sharing
Cool. Thanks for commenting
"You can't afford to have your wood shrink and keep your horn straight" Fecking priceless!!
Lol..I missed that one 😆🤣
When I was a teen, if a schoolmate had an erection, we used to day he's on the horn. It's fallen out of use and I haven't it since the 1960s😊😊.
