steve, i'd like to watch that scenario also. eddie would have to do some high stepping to get out of that. as lucky as eddie is, the main shaft would hit the pig in the eye and drop him like a rock.
justin, from my research and experiments on attaching foreshaft i found the joint should be tapered so it can break away clean. using a square joint and inserting the foreshaft doesn't allow it to break away because it's a stronger joint. hideglue would also work but would be susceptible to the weather. superglue is strong but brittle which allows the joint to snap when a little lateral pressure is applied. like when the animal runs and the mainshaft hits a tree, it will snap at the joint thereby saving the mainshaft. cane, without a foreshaft, is usually strong enough to survive such treatment but i like using foreshafts.
