Hi Tunecollector, I will contact you off list with information about a new cane company that I was told about by a Department of Rehab mobility instructor. I have purchased canes from them and am very pleased.

Hi Tunecollector, Could you post California Canes information? I was buying my canes from him and his wife also, but the last I heard they moved to Palm Springs and then shortly after closed up shop. I haven't heard from them since. You would think that they would notify their customers of what is happening. If you have new information it would be nice to get it. Thanks much.

I buy my fairly indestructible carbon fibre canes from California Canes which is located in Hesperia. The maker of the canes is an inventive blind guy named Jeff. California Canes has a website. Ask Jeff. He is a very friendly guy. I met him a couple of times before he moved to Hesperia. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> [mailto:[email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> ] On Behalf Of Matt Sent: Saturday, June 14, 2008 1:44 PM To: [email protected] <mailto:blindhandyman%40yahoogroups.com> Subject: [BlindHandyMan] making a useable white cane? Hi, has anyone put any effort into a workable solution for making your own folding or other type of useable white cane? Crosses my mind every time I am about down to a mismatched bunch of broken ones and I have to buy another, yet still, the cane distributors have to make a living too I guess.
