I was commissioned by a former colleague to make him a training set of handstand canes. I used steel pipe and threaded flanges for the canes. I also got stoned and. . . Sorry, I meant to say that I got creative and tried a new shape for the base. In addition I made some nice feet for it to keep it off the floor and protect the wood of the base.

Made some round blocks for a former colleague to replace the crappy and too small blocks that came with her canes set. I had to make them considerably larger per her request and also needed to bore a hole in one of them to house the ratchet on her turning cane.

Blocks are cut and chamfered and here is a mock-up of the whole. Next step: install furniture inserts into the base and blocks.

Refined things a bit on the base. This would make a cool bench top or shelf. And I glued-up the blocks. The blocks are made with the same wood.

Cleaned up the glue up, did the layout, and then roughed out the base. Tonight I will refine the shape and mill the material for the handstand blocks and glue them up. The blocks will match the base. I put a thin strip of a repurposed cabinet from the circus school in the center.

Building a set of handstand canes for one of my colleagues. Had to epoxy the bug damage in the walnut that I am using for the blocks. I messed that up by not having the epoxy up to a more suitable temperature so it did not mix thoroughly and is not setting properly. May take a long time to cure fully if at all. Fortunately that won't matter as it is not crucial to the function of the blocks and is not on the show-side.
