Ok, let's get back to sticks and off of the heavy sweapons schtick.
Deltaboy,
Did you reinforce the cane the entire length?
If so, how did you get the rebar and JB Weld the entire length without voids?
If not, then how much of the cane did you reinforce? How does this not create a greater potential for breaking the aluminum cane at the less reinforced areas since not reinforcing it along the entire length would cause uneven loading on impact? Have you tried it on a target to find out if it would actually hold up in use?
