How to Mount a Hiking Medallion on a Walking Stick

Wood Hiking Stick

1). Set two small brass brads on a work bench. Place the hiking stick, lengthwise, into the bench vise.
2). Place the medallion on the location of your choice on the hiking stick. Hand push the two brads through the medallion's brad screw holes and into the wood.
3). Hammer the brads gently into the stick. If you wish, add a dollop of super adhesive to the back of the medallion before placing the brads into the wood.

1). Place the trekking pole into the bench vise, tightening the vise just enough to hold the pole but not enough to dent the metal.
2). Smear super adhesive over the section of the pole where you want to mount the medallion. Smear the back of the medallion with the adhesive as well.
3). Place the medallion onto the gluey area of the pole. Hold the medallion in position for one minute to allow time for the adhesive to become tacky. Let go after a minute and let the adhesive dry for at least three hours.
