OK, so rather than wait like 8 months until I actually finish this easy project, I figured that if I start a thread, I'll be more obliged to finish quickly!
So I'm a goalie... I have 4 or 5 broken goalie sticks laying around... Last night, in an epiphany that should have hit me at SOME point in the last year, I realized that a sawed off paddle would make a great mash paddle!
So here's the stick I'm going to use... The blade is already cracked at the heel in this pic, but I hadn't realized it yet:
Here is the concept... Saw that off - I'm not sure to saw it straight across with my mitre saw, or do a gentle arc with a jigsaw - then pop some holes in it:
After I sand the edges, I'll lacquer it well. I thought about sanding all the paint and such off it, but I want it recognizable as a stick. So hopefully creating this thread will force me to get on this quickly... My only cost should be a can of lacquer.
And goalie sticks are made from ash and stop rubber rockets, so I don't doubt the durability.
