Скачать или смотреть Making a Cane Pole P3: Straightening Bamboo

Straightening bamboo is key part of the cane pole making process.

After this process the piece of bamboo will really start feeling like a fishing pole.

Essentially it is repetitive process of heating with a heat gun and bending until each natural twist and turn of the shaft are set straight.

I use the assistance of a home made 'Tamegi' bamboo straightening tool and the vice clamps on my work bench to set the pole as straight as possible.

I'm going to be fishing with this pole all summer and holding it out for long periods of time so I want my cane poles as precise and comfortable as possible.

Thank you for watching and I hope this was helpful. This is my method of straightening bamboo and if you have any tips or tricks you know please share in the comments.

Part 4 coming soon. We will be covering Lacquering the pole and completing the 'how to make a cane pole' series.

Plus a bonus video covering the 'Tamegi" bamboo straightening tool is coming soon. How to make one and how to use it.
