I like to design some of my own props. Some are versions of props from Sci-Fi (mostly Doctor Who), but some are completely original. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis so occasionally have to use a cane, so I thought "what if the Doctor needed a cane". This is my design for a question mark cane. I've been working on a 13th Doctor persona for a couple years. I've designed a costume and other props.

So here it is. let me know what you think.

since I've been attending college, over the years I started to suffer leg injuries in both my knees and ankles - it may have had something to do with the metric ton of books and school stuffs I was dragging around in my back pack on a daily basis ..... off and on I have had to use a cane. Recently I've begun to think I need to personalize my cane - if I have to have one it may as well be distinctive.  This is a cool cane. I need to make one in red. Great job!
why doesn't the Guide mention them? - Oh, it's not very accurate.
Oh? - I'm researching the new edition.

Wow! With my bum leg, I'd love to have a working umbrella built around that red cane!

Why not do it the other way around, have the umbrella covered in a fairly strong tube?

That was you have a walking cane but if it rains you just slide of the tube and hey presto! I suppose with a little thought you could have some handy addition to make the tube into a temporary cane for when you need the umbrella as well

Now that is a thought. And with a little umbrella fabric covering the tube, it would just look like an umbrella in a sleeve.

Mark, you're brilliant! ;D

Not been told that for a long time, I could get used to it Dino  ;D

Might be going too far but if you made the question mark out of something strong, hinged it at the bottom you could have a great arse shaped folding seat walking cane!

Like the fabric idea btw. Would kinda finish it of nicely
