    Making A Cane

    At the suggestion of @Gerald, I am starting a thread on making a cane. Even though there are more operations involved than just lathe work I hope everyone with experience will share their knowledge, techniques and outcomes.   Before "The Patriot" site was born, many of us were (and maybe still are) members of a very popular woodworking site.

    Education

    Education One of the many projects we are working on is a wiki for our online community. A wiki is a great way for woodworkers and enthusiasts to share their knowledge to others, and to impart their knowledge for others to learn from, and utilize as well for their own benefit. We hope you'll consider being a wiki contributor. Research Do you love researching? Do you like to write about subjects in a factual non-biased style? Do you like leaving your footprint of knowledge behind f
