Just some side notes, the "Last of The Mohican" club was way over size for eastern woodland war clubs and also made of balsa. I have handled a lot of originals in my research and almost all of them were made of maple and ash and are average 1" thick and 22 to 24 " inches long. The Plains style are about the size of the one in the movie as they were used on horseback. A real nice job on your interpetation.

Suggestion: For the decorative tacs, don't use cardboard as a placement holder. Use thin Styrofoam instead. That way you don't have to pull them out and renail them in the holes. Just pound them in part way and break away the foam underneath and finish nailing.

explaining the differences in yours compared to the movie was very insightful. thank you so much. i think id make one out of hickory and use a saw blade and cut the spike out of that.

I love the blue color! I don't remember the movie, it's been years, but it's a nice piece for sure.

This is a a great interpretation, and a very cool weapon altogether

Good work, Joe! That was fun to watch.

You should make one out of teakwood or cocobola wood. If you like.

It’s easier to reshape and repurpose antique knives. Forging is all well and good but a lot of effort. Your build came out looking amazing either way.

Very, very cool war club. Great job!😊 I was going to ask you where to source that blade you used but then upon watching the whole video (always watch the WHOLE video before asking questions kids! ) your blade is probably made of unobtainium and Ill never find one (and I don't know your Dad) . If I'm wrong, somebody tell me where to buy one. Finally, your comment at the end, "is that not good enough for you?"..hey, if it's good enough for you, that is all that matters. Trolls and nit pickers can always give making the exact copy a shot if they are so disturbed that yours isn't a carbon copy of the movie prop 😅.

So im wondering back in the day, did they just find a good stick and make it as a work in progress over months or years?

So awesome!!!

Nice build and nice tunes :) great work

its a beauty

Well, I'm going to "address it in the comments" even though you said you were going to address it so we didn't have to, but technically you're wrong on both placements of the blade. His blade wasn't below the angle (like yours) or above it (as you incorrectly said it was). His blade was placed at the apex of the angle. The reason they placed it there (at the apex) was to maximize it's utilation as a throwing weapon. You're more apt to stick the blade while throwing if the blade is coming out of the apex of the angle (giving you contact with both angles) rather than with the blade sticking out of only one angle (above or below the angle) which only gives you contact if you hit the throw at one angle (or, landing the throw on one side). Or, to describe it another way is to say that having the blade come straight out of the apex gives you many more degrees of radial contact to make the blade stick while throwing. It's basically the entire purpose of having the angle in the club at all. Pretty amazing that Native Americans could utilize somewhat complex geometric mathematical theories in order to make a much more proficient weapon (or tool) and here hundreds of years later, you, a 'civilized' "paleface" still didn't figure it out. ;-) :-P So much for the "savages" moniker, eh? With all that said, it's still a great looking decorative piece you made there man. Kudos. And FYI, I'm a civilized paleface too, so I'm not attacking you specifically. Its more a comment on the societal view as a whole. I just think the Native Americans never got enough credit for their intellectual prowess which shows itself clearly in little details like this.

incredible craftsmanship how much do you charge to make your Gunstock war club? and are your clubs usable?

Ive allways wanted to make one from a longboard skateboard because it would be stronger and lighter. It would need 2 boards if you wanted a spike set up. Dude can you make one from a longboard?

Awesome club, Joe! What were the song/ track you used called?

Where did you get your measurements/template from

Do you think making one from oak would work?

Whose here after mortal kombat nightwolf gameplay 👀

I want one that's just like in the movie!!!!!

Do you sale them?

You put a longer blade on something that's supposed to be hit on very hard. Not smart. You put cuts into the blade which will 100% snap if used like it's made. How silly

The blades not in the right place? Unsubscribe!!!!!! Ken
