If you were going to make a walking stick containing something interesting either in the handle or the shank, what would you have? Do you think I should’ve bought the stick made of a shark’s backbone? Do you have a stick with something interesting in it or perhaps a family heirloom passed down the generations? Do let me know in the comments below.

For those of you who don’t know, I’m a graduate in Philosophy and Politics, a one time army reservist, and trained history teacher. While teaching I was known as Mr Norris and this is my history corner where I research, tell stories, and build things from history, but there’s other things on the channel as well. Stick around and see if there’s something you like.
