Step 2: Make the Cut!. This is the surefire items list. His snakes receive more attention than any other kind of carving in his repertoire. Once the head was shaped, I penciled in the eyes, mouth, nose holes and the turtleshell-like design on the top of his head. I eventually figured out through trial and error, what looked best to me was brushing on a base layer, adding a base layer for the hourglass shape on snakes back, then airbrushing very light gradient over the top of the base layers. I have a friend that has a bunch of dead cedar trees on their farm.. They both look realistic and give the snake an awesome look !Next, I pulled out "the beast", my dewalt disc sander. (to see if i for some reason know u lol)Basically, I use a roller cage, a golf club handle, and some electrical tape. So, here is the list of items you will need : an old stapler - 24/6 or 26/6 pin size staplers works best ! Feel free to post a link here when it's done!Glad someone else has a use for this!I am out of high school, but I am everywhere in the falls. It took me a new nights to finish the scales but it was worth it, the texture really gives it a realistic feel and look. And an even bigger thanks if you vote for it! The hardest part I find is keeping it proportional. I used my favorite grinding wheel for the majority of the rough cut, a $10 carbide cup wheel from harbor freight. I know I'm not your mother, (she's probably far more attractive), but trust me, red hot metal shavings are not good corneal conditioner.Wow, that's a great idea! That's what holds golf club heads onto the shafts. Once, the stick was roughed out (pic 2), I took that same grinding wheel and started rounding off the snake body(pic 3).Did you make this project?
My plan was to rough cut the stick first, then come back and start rough detailing the snake second.
Added in World of Warcraft: Battle for Azeroth. A length of softer steel wire.
It helped me to image a heart shape, the point being his nose, while the round parts being the back of his jaws/head. I love carving, but you gave some great ideas on how to take my projects to the next level. Almost forgot, the most important, SAFETY GOGGLES! Maybe put a quick summary of its use in the intro?I'd love to see! Any wood will work, but I wanted something that was light for a walking stick, plus easy to work with. What kind of wood are you using?Beautiful and scary at the same time.
Although 4x4" would be perfect for this project, my piece of wood was 3.5 x 3.5" wide, but still worked out. I love this sander for its ability to sand so aggressively. Make sure to use a gentle yet firm grip. I finished it off by adding a few coats of spray-on clear lacquer.Love the instructions I'm about to try making my first detailed stick and this was the ONLY thing that helped make it clearer and motivated meYour work is beautiful, you had me fooled.This is incredible.
I am sure this will work allot better than a stickYeah, I actually borrowed this idea from a show I watched years and years ago that had Jeff Corwin in it. I then put some superglue on it and covered it with electrical tape. Although this was a slow, tedious process, I enjoyed it because it was one of the few parts of the build that I could do in my recliner while hanging with the fam.
Sad really.In order to dress it up nicely you could always put some colored hearshrink around it after this stepIt may just be my being slow, but it took me until the last step to figure out what it did...I figured a snake snick was just a name for some other kind of gadget. The paint roller was mine.Yeah actually you can use graphite shafts cause if you heat up the paint roller and stick it in it will form to it. Share it with us!Reply 4 years ago The chances we have crossed paths is likely.Finally a sensible snake intstructable! When I first glanced at it I thought the snake and cane were separate pieces, this is truly amazing.Absolutely brilliant. I suppose this can be accomplished just as easily with a brush for those of you with artistic painting talents, but airbrush worked best for me. How you harvest the three pieces you use can change, though they rarely deviate far from a pair of pliers or two and a Sawzall, Dremel, or pipe cutter. do not take apart the spring that opens the stapler when you press it to staple.Thanks a lot i appreciate your comment.now make a cut in the lower part of the stapler ( cartridge part ) so that the upper part fits in the cut when pressed. #Snake Catcher # Snake Catching Stick # Snake Catching Requirement 1 Pipe 1 cycle break 1 break cable. Finally thanks to you, the reader, for reading my first instructable. After several days of repainting and touch-ups, my wife and I made up our minds that we were happy with it. Well done!detail.. WOW... very neat/clean build. Apply lubricating oil on the opposite side of the bristles. Standing outside of a snake’s striking distance (usually about a third of the snake’s body length) will keep you safe from a bite. Thanks for sharing your projectThe last thing I burned on was a checkered design around the handle. I harvested my golf club handle from a rooftop, in Cuyahoga Falls. Always up to date. I also outlined some of the facial details with a fine burning point to help further define the facial features.Thank you all so much for the kind remarks!Also I hope you share more photos of the process on the next Instructable...because this is amzing.
graciashah! you live in Cuyahoga Falls too.
