How malleable is the brass? I want to form this to fit around a cane, along the spine of the cane - and I have the leather mallet and form

If you wanted to form a circle like a ring or form it leanthwise on the cane, you would have to hit it pretty hard, hard enough it would distort the engraving.

I have formed it around my dogs collar by hand. I don't know if you form it parallel to your cane. I think it would be firm but malleable enough if you form it perpendicular. I hope this helps!

I bent it some to conform with my dogs neck but obviously you'll need to bend it further. I think it would probably be adequately malleable for your use. Good luck.

I have several collapsible canes and would not suggest trying to shorten them yourself, as they are held together with an elastic bungee cord. If you cut the shaft without properly shortening and fastening the elastic cord, your cane will be useless. There are several cane retailers who will adjust them for you for free or a small charge.

Take the rubber tip off the bottom and cut it to length you want. Put the rubber tip back on. I have done this for three canes --each is cut to the height I want depending on the heels of the shoes I am wearing when I use it.

I did a quick search on the brass I.D. tag you mentioned, and I have to admit they look pretty cool. I think with a bit of careful planning, they would work just fine with this collar. Obviously you will need a tool to puncture through the leather in order to pass the rivets through.

yes , I did - it looks great and is stable - the leather may shift on the brass - but you can glue it ea&sily; back on - i am satisfied with it

Edith,I took a hacksaw and cut off 2 1/2 inches. I use a 34 1/2 inch cane. It was easy as pie. If you know someone with a band saw, it would make it easier. I love the cane. It is one of my favorites to use. It makes a statement without drawing too much attention to you.Steve

I have one coming, but I plan to wrap the spearhead shaft and the first foot of the wood shaft in rawhide. Once that dries it will be like iron and tighten down on the haft and hold the head to the shaft like it was glued on there. Plus it will strengthen the first foot or however far down I wrap it of the wood shaft. I might even wrap the first 40 inches or so in rawhide and then the balance in paracord. Will decide once I get it.

Get a wood or rubber mallet and tap it in gently. Alternatively, you use the butt of your hand to smack it in.

It's pretty thin, about an inch wide without the paracord. I ended up just making a wooden handle for it. It has 2 holes in the tang, so you won't have to drill them out yourself.

I would use a 16oz. mallet for your barstool project you have more weight behind the mallet to drive legs in good luck.

if you are talking about the Brass to the black metal, that should be ok. Test with a small flow, and I think you will see that is ok.

I bought one for my squier VM J. I had to reshape it to get it to fit. no big deal I just straighten it out with my hands and then re-curled it around my fingers. I had to do it several times before I was satisfied. The only cravat I have is if you have the bass set for a high action or you dig in too much you may not have the clearance you need.

I don't know words made. But I have one and I absolutely love it. It's a very good-looking cane. I have several of them but this one is clearly my favorite. It's elegant and as a very concerted touch of class. I can almost guarantee that you will like it.

Yes, it is hollow. The shaft will only fit part way up the shaft due to the curve. I have used these on sticks that are "thin" and just slide into the hame, with a little shaping to get them to slide in farther. I prefer a "thicker" stick, and shape the stick to inset the hame into the stick. Both ways work very well, and it makes a very good looking walking stick. The brass is thick, this is a heavy piece of metal, you don't have to worry about it bending. It won't. I think you will be very satisfied with it as the top of your stick. I always get nice comments on how good the sticks look. Good luck, have fun. Yes, it is hollow. The shaft will only fit part way up the shaft due to the curve.

one would need to measure it exactly and saw off the length and re-attach the rubber tip...that is probably the drawback, everything else about that cane is wonderful....comfortable, sturdy and looks good.

Brass. Good for 1 (ONE) use. Cannot be taken off and put back on. I tried and it broke in half in my head.
