  My late father was a joiner and pattern maker and while he would have enjoyed the idea and execution of this amazing artefact he would, of course, be demanding that I take notes to tell you all the things you did wrong and have me add those notes to the comments (typical of a West of Scotland man). Of course I would have agreed, shown him the text being submitted, then come back and edited the whole lot to read, &quot;Great work! Sure it&apos;ll serve your grandad for years! Nice to see some proper woodwork these days. All the best, Joe.&quot;<br>Somehow this video had me hearing Joe in my head going, &quot;Widnae dae it like that, ken! But he&apos;s daein&apos; weel.&quot;

  Beautiful work. Being disabled myself, I know the value of this feature. It’s very frustrating and disheartening to drop something on the floor and know it’s going to be there forever because I can’t bend over to pick it up.<br>The only thing I would do differently is not glue the handle together so the internal workings could be accessed for maintenance.

  Am 79 years old and unfortunately have been required to use a cane for the past 30 years. Never seen a cane of such beauty. Your grandfather is a lucky man.

  I&apos;m sure your granddad will cherish this cane for the rest of his life. &nbsp;The work and skill that you put into it is a reflection of your feelings for him.

  Even if your Grandfather is not yet ready to start using a cane I&apos;m sure he will still appreciate the craftsmanship that went into making it.

  Being disabled myself I know your grandfather will really appreciate this cane. If you ever decide to make more like this I would be first in line. Awesome work!

  Can I just say I love videos like this with actual voiceover? I love hearing what the craftsman has to say about what they&apos;re doing

  I hope to someday be the sort of grandfather that inspires one of my grandchildren to such beautiful artwork. At 56, I&apos;ve had to start keeping a cane or walking stick handy for those rare times that a hip or knee or my back decides to act up. I&apos;m sure those times will change from rare to uncommon to occasional to routine as life progresses, and I know I&apos;ll want something that not only can I depend on to support me but something that was made just for me by someone who wants to be there to support me when I need it. Well done, sir.

  Lost my grandfather last month. This reminded me of him. Thank you.
