Message: <blockquote data-quote="alexbailey" data-source="post: 5318085" data-attributes="member: 215340">This is one of my favourite props, I purchased an amber orb/ball for the top of the cane, I considered attempting making one myself however I concluded it wasn't worth it. I'm not planning to attempt a 100% accurate version, for example I don't like the large rubber tip found on the original and plan on making a slimmer metal tip and I may go for a bare wood finish to the cane as the painted finish in the film is not to my liking.I have already finished making my first version of the cane, however I got the proportions and scaling wrong and the cane is too narrow. In this thread I will show the process of making first cane and then hopefully a more accurate one.Then the cane section poses an interesting challenge its a pretty unusual shape I considered various options for making it. But to achieve the asymmetric and complex curves of the shaft, I was going to need to 3D model the cane, followed by CNC machine the profile. Using some pictures of an original prop being sold at auction for scaling while making adjustments for my height, the 3d model came out well.This version of the model is a later more accurate version, initially I modelled it to narrow and the proportion of the cane didn't look right, as you will see in future posts.[ATTACH=full]1577774[/ATTACH]The shaft of the cane is spilt into 3 section. In order to fit them on the rotary table of my CNC machine. Steel insert will be glued into the end of each section and threaded rod used to hold each section together. I made sure in the modelling that the joins are circular and concentric therefore the orientation of the each section at the joins is not important.[ATTACH=full]1577775[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
