- I could not find many "How to" projects for making Walking Sticks for Beginners on the Tube so decided to do a series for making a Walking Staff.
This is Part IV.

Dennis,you are the Bob Ross of woodworking, great videos thanks 🙏
Wow, thanks!
I have enjoyed your videos so much. I just made my first walking stick.(and I am a 75 year old woman) Thank you for your thorough teaching and demonstrating.
Thank you, Darlene and congratulations.
Thank you, great tutorial, got a lot from the video, appreciate your help.
You're welcome! Thanks for leaving a comment.
Cool video! I hike in the mountains around my small town in pennsylvania and the very first thing i do is look for a good stick. They help your balance and can be used to fend off snakes and knock those darn spider webs off the path before your face does. Lol. I have a few stashed where the path i usually get on starts and was just thinking man i wish i had THE stick. I guess i have to make it. Thank God for people like you who appreciate something as simple and useful as a stick. With a little bit of time and effort you can have a badass stick and people might knock it but i bet if they ever get out in the bush with you, theyll be just a tad jealous whether they admit it or not😂😂. Cool stuff!!
Well said, and I thank you for your comment.
That's some nice work.
Thanks for your comment.
Nice knot work, and harbor freight needs you some sponcer money
Tell them that! Haha. Thanks for your comment.
Good job. Nice stick. What you called a “shoe knot” is also called an overhand knot. The non- square knot is also called a “granny” knot. Granny knots are famous for their unreliability. They come loose easily and as a result tree granny knot can’t be trusted. You could also dip the tip of your cord, string or twine in your epoxy. That will seal it so it doesn’t fray. A coat of any kind of glue will work on almost all kinds of string, paradors, jute, hemp or cotton. The glue will make the ends stiff so they can be poked through most holes. I usually use Duco modeling cement.
Thanks again, Roger
Outstanding Dennis. Ready for the advanced process.
Part V Advanced is scheduled for Nov 23rd. I'll have 2 different subject video coming out before then. Thanks for your comment.
Hey Dennis. Maybe I missed it, but what Typ of epoxy did you use?
@@mikE_6-28 A 2 part clear epoxy. Mix 50/50. Buy molds and epoxy off Amazon.
Great looking walking stick. Charlie

Hi, came over from One Turn At A Time and subscribed to you. I checked out your channel and like it. You do a good job sir. Happy New Year.
Thanks for the sub and I appreciate you your visit and comments.
@@OzarkArtsandCrafts You are very welcome.
Wow...amazing job!!
Thank you, Ezekiel
Dennis I just discovered your channel after very recently discovering a love for woodworking, thank you for putting this beginner series out, I’ve been following it religiously. I did have a question though, how did you go about rounding off the ends of your stick? Did you use the sanding ball or another method?
I mostly use an angle grinder to rough out the top end if it's going to be rounded. I rough the basic round shape at the time I remove the bark. I the sanding ball after I do the roughing. I demonstrate and show this better in Part II and Part III of my beginner series:

@@OzarkArtsandCrafts Awesome, now I’ve got something to get for Christmas! Thank you!
@@probablesithlord Awesome!
Hello Sir, l have watched a few of your videos for beginners. Thank you for your tutorials. I am making a walking stick out of a big oak branch.
Will it become lighter in weight as l shave it down? It’s very heavy. Thank you❤
Fantastic and thanks very much for your comment.
OMG more
Thanks, Doug.
I let them hang dry but putting a small finishing nail in center top of handle, put a rope n hang it
I use small eyehooks that I tread into one end and have a few wires suspended from the ceiling with a hook bend for the eyehooks.
Thanks for your comments. I appreciate them all.
Thanks Pee-Paw!
Thanks for your comment.
Working my way through the walking stick videos, thanks again for making these.
Would only recommend epoxy for filling gaps in the wood or is there anything else?
Epoxy is what I use 99% of the time for anything that looks like it may grow or get out of hand. If wood has dried good and a small shallow crack, then I may use a wood glue. Thanks for your comment.
@@OzarkArtsandCrafts Thanks for the reply, I think I’ll have to look into using epoxy on an upcoming project.
I was thinking if there was anything that may do some kind of natural (or free) alternative and my best guess so far was pine resin, but I’m not finding that much of it at the mo, plus obviously it’ll work nowhere near as well so I think I just need to bite the bullet and get some!
What is the epoxy and curing agent you use in this video?
It is just a two part epoxy (A & B). No curing agent is needed. Just mix equal parts together. Thanks for your comment.
I can't believe how simple this is. I guess people don't work with their hands any more ! Its all done with computers and cnc machines. I don't use them. I like to use my hands and brain. Those folks would be lost if their computer goes belly up or the power goes down. Give me some simple hand tools and can make most anything.
Great point, thanks.
I found it very confusing towards the end of the video on the paracord. The guy would do something and redo it, mumble and then redo it again.
Thanks for your comment. Appreciated.
First!!
Hello Luie, I don't know what "First" means but thanks for you comment. lol
@@OzarkArtsandCrafts first to comment on this video 👍👍
I'd be embarrassed to go walking with this crooked, heavy, laminated branch in my hands, like I am Neatherdal
I get your drift for sure. These are not for the wimpy! Thanks for your comment.
@@OzarkArtsandCraftsyou always get one !
Go find lighter thinner branches dude.
