 Discussion On Tool Canes (8996)
This is the beginning of several tool canes. As a category of gadget and system sticks, they seem to have the least amount of interest. Weapons have the most demand, Doctors sell for the most money, but there are too few of them to be the most popular. Custom made complicated are another important category that are near the top for gadget cane desireabiliy.
Today’s tool cane is of the custom complicated type. It’s my favorite tool, because of how much thought went into making it fit together so well. The entire cane is maple covered thick veneer. The 5 compartment container for the tools is made from iron. The pictures show the variety of tools that are in it. All are nickel plated brass, just like the drill that is the handle. On the top of the knob is a lid that turns to hold different sizes of bits for the drill. The handle is put on the shaft with a half turn. Circa 1890. Where the drill stops the container starts, everything fits to perfection with no rattles.
I like tool canes, and will explain more in the canes that follow, they have much to teach us, even if you don't like tool canes.
