bro. you are a genius. With basic tools you have built real and practical weapons. Good for you. Thanks for sharing and motivating. Greetings from Venezuela

I think a machete would been better tool for that pineapple. But you did a awesome job on that baton.

Thank you. I had to test it on something.

Cool project. Iv been looking at some tonfa handle designs for a cane. Im thinking steel pipe would be best for the strength however it's not good for restriction environments so I need to make a wooden one with a strong enough connection to support weight. Any ideas. Is that why you used a nail instead of a peg?

@john_free_thinker Жыл бұрын

Thank you. A hard wood peg will work just fine, but I think a metal nail or peg will be stronger than any wood. That is why I used a longer thicker nail for that. Also make sure it is glues and clamped down for additional strength. Good luck with your project, I hope this helps 👍

Good job man. If you decide to do another one try doing an old school straight shaft baton. But try using a replacement shovel handle from the box store. Cut to size drill a hole and put a leather boot lace threw it and learn how to spin it like a 70s NYC cop.

Hey man, I've been making my own builds for a few years now and just recently came across your channel. I've noticed that you utilize a lot of simple but effective techniques. I've also drawn inspiration from a few of your videos. I noticed you use wood glue and wooden pins or dows for a lot of builds, do you find those to be as sturdy as bolts and epoxy? Anyways keep up the great work I'm excited to see what comes out next. 👍🏻

@john_free_thinker Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much. My builds hold up even when I go all out on them on testing, the testing parts speak for themselves. So yes, they do hold up for such a simple way of building and even hold up fairly well compared to professional builds.

Hell yes, that night stick is awesome. I want one but a little smaller so it's like a tactical night stick or whatever. Anyways, I really enjoyed the video. Awesome job.

Walnut. Make it out of walnut or lignum vitae.

That is a good idea, but oak wood is more common to find. Thanks

Very nice build well done! Got me wondering which part of the weapon generates the most force.

That notch you made for the handle probably weakened it a fair bit.

@john_free_thinker 9 ай бұрын

Maybe, but believe I put a metal rod in there so it should be fine on strength.

Cute toy, but attaching the handle like that ensures the item will break after a couple strikes.

@john_free_thinker 8 ай бұрын

In the testing part it did not break or even became weaker, it still holds up strong. Maybe one day it will break, but I don't think it will easily.

Good video... well, up until you started breaking thin pieces of 'ice?!?'.. if you actually hit a person while using that handle, err it would bend. Better off just making a hardwood baton..bring on the smashing heads 👍😎.. Still, thanks for the video

@john_free_thinker Жыл бұрын

Thank you very much, glade you like it. But the handle is all held together with I think 3,000 lbs. wood glue and a thicker hard long metal nail. I think it would be as strong as a regular one. Either way, glad you commented 👍
