Intro:

Multi-Function Walking Stick II - Storage Compartment

Add Decorative and Functional Copper Ends to a Hiking Staff.

This is Part 2 in the Multi-Function Walking Stick Instructables series.

The original Multi-Function Walking Stick Instructable describes how to make a

Hiking Staff that converts into a Camp Stool.

Part 1

can be found here:

http://www.instructables.com/id/Multi-Function-Walking-Stick-Converts-into-a-Cha/

Part 2 Starts Here:

You've seen the three piece walking stick convert into a slick seat with the help of threaded copper plumbing fittings in Part 1. Now however,

When swinging it on the

trail in hiking mode, this staff needs something to distinguish it from looking like an old broom stick from the garage.

This Instructable describes how to add copper finial ends -

that in additon to adding decorative elements to the staff - also add the following features:

- A cleat-like point at the bottom

- A concealed storage compartment at the top

Step 1:

Copper Ends

Copper is my metal of preference. Unfinished it won't rust (tarnish yes, rust no). When lightly polished to a mid-level shine, copper has a certain refined brillance that

you don't get from cold chrome and that you can't afford to get from gold.

(Don't remove all its tarnish though; highly polished its hue is too "pink.)

Especially in an outdoor rustic enviornment, copper's orange-brown glow just seems right.

Not only does copper have sophisticated ornamental qualities, it has a nice balance between workability and durability and it's readily available.

Copper raw goods, are easily mined at your local "Har-Whar" store (disguised as common household plumbing) ...Sorry Keweenaw

The previous copper rant was made possible through a grant by....The Semi-Precious Metals Speculative Investment Group of America and ....the generous donations

of your local Pipefitters Union...and readers like you.

....Not really...Sorry, a PBS moment snuck in...

The threaded fitting shown in the middle below was introduced in the first Instructable. The next few steps here detail the cleat-like point on the working end (right) and

the finial topper with storage (left).

Step 2:

Storage Oppertunity

No matter the hike....long or short, there are always essential things that you would like to take along. What better way than to have them right

your hiking staff ready

to grab and go.

The top of the staff has a storage compartment perfect for things you might need for a suburban stroll or a wilderness hike.

I have a small pocket knife and

other camp items that fit in here. Shown below are items that might come in handy.

The edge of the copper cap is crimped slightly to provide an interference fit; keeps it from falling off yet can be removed easily.

Gotta have rope!

Never know when you might need to tie an Emergency

Jug Knot

around a water bottle....
