EASY TO MAKE $10 NUNCHUCKS / NUNCHAKU (+Damage Test)

*neighbor is so used to seeing the next-door kid playing w/ weapons, she simply rolls her eyes, waves back & goes into her house.... FIRMLY locking the door behind her*

I can relate

[@RegularFish2]

[@EthanHillis]

"Now I'm not going to pretend I know how to use these things." Then does some crazy ninja crap

[@brianingle799]

+Jugger Slayer thinking the same thing. ultimate control

[@nickross587]

Lol right

[@ana-ev8ur]

Its a lot easier then it probably looks :)

[@brokenredbench96]

He was just smacking it, nunchucks are easy to handle, you can just hit things with sheer force. But with techniques it gets stronger and looks a lot cooler.

[@sethsurgener6397]

An1mu trust me it ain't, I've been using them since I was 8, I am now 22 and cracked myself in the gnads lol, more difficult than it looks.

[@TheSauceManOG]

says cant use nunchucks. Uses it good without hitting self. My turn. Concussion.

[@AntoniusK]

lmao

[@mixedcardnial4446]

His "non existent technique" was hitting horizontal because it takes a lot of practice with fake nunchucks, hitting vertical and not hitting yourself in the head or crouch. However hitting horizontal takes no practice whatsoever, because you have a very low chance of hitting yourself in the face unless you aim high up then..... Well have fun in the hospital.

[@rodsnrounds2698]

I LAUGHED WAY TO HARD AT THAT😂😂😂😂

[@frosty9228]

[@88Nikoli]

He stated the truth , he is indeed not good with nunchakus. Funny thing though is you think he's great ! 😂

[@cjthememeguy6571]

sebbe antblad Dude he is not using them right, the way he is using them will hurt him more than the person he is trying to hit

[@sebastianantblad9014]

Still, it looked pretty awseome. It's not like anyone uses nunchucks for anything anyway. ;.)

you should make holsters to hold your weapons

[@Anonomusturd]

They look very light. Taper isn't important, thickness and density are key. Would recommend the same tie with untapered, thicker and denser wood dowels. Thank you for sharing! Great design!

I recommend not using polyurethane finish for handles that you plan on using for any amount of time, it will start to chowder your hands, try boiled linseed oil for a reduction in blisters.

[@DarkVarda]

the machete was from cold steel

[@DarkVarda]

(question i'm not sure)

[@ZNA_Productions]

+The Vardarioter No, it was from Whetstone Cutlery. Btw, put one of these "?" at the end of a sentence to make it a question (not trying to be rude, guessing English might not be your first language.)

[@DarkVarda]

+ZNA Productions if i would put a questionmark behind this sentence it wouldn't be gramatical correct so i made this little extra there to make it sure

[@ZNA_Productions]

The Vardarioter "The machete is from Cold Steel?" Is completely grammatically correct.

[@DarkVarda]

+ZNA Productions mhm i would say: is the machete from cold steel?

[@WHY222KSTATIC]

dude you're so creative it's ridiculous man I admire that being a creative soul myself but I've never fine this deep into this subject of creativity and these videos you make about these weapons are awesome the closest I've gotten,to your level was a custom polearm made of a dense 4 1/2 foot steel rod and welded two large kitchen knives to the end along with a metal spike at the bottom a cool conversation piece but no nearly as epic as your tomahawks and battleaxes and not to mention,the amazing electric mjolnir much love man keep doing what your doing I love it !

[@BillyBobBeauBenson]

You really got the hang of those quickly. It looked like it only took you a few minutes and a little confidence to get pretty good.

[@experimentsengineering2623]

Here is a fun fact, nunchucks were used to grab, trip, and choke enemies not hit them.

[@witchBoi_Connor]

I thought that was the kusarigama. The nunchucks don't look like they would be able to wrap around things very effectively. Maybe grab a weapon?

[@thespooker2934]

Tyler abstractCourier i think it was made for samurai to catch a katana or larger blade affectively

[@drewmatthews1119]

The nunchucks were a farming tool. (They were used to hit stakes in the ground) Then the ninja used them as makeshift weapons to fight.

[@candiedapple1860]

But hitting things is fun..

[@shadow0t68]

I love your videos and I like the satisfying destruction of Pumpkin's :D

[@pattymiester1234]

Nunchucks are next to useless,... A baseball bat is stronger and you are less likely to knock yourself out with it

[@ZNA_Productions]

+pattymiester 123 And about 3x less concealable, heavier and more tiring to use, slower to swing, and therefore much easier to be disarmed while using. Plus side, more damage if you do make contact. Every weapon has it's pros and cons, and If it's historically used, you can bet it's not useless.

[@jantjevanolfen4350]

+ZNA Productions ooooooooooooooh

[@RaketenKuhGewehr]

+ZNA Productions We're gonna need an ERT for this SICK FACTS BURN!

[@theo5296]

+ZNA Productions Well actually, I'd say it's more conceable as you know, you could just say you play baseball. Also, a baseball bat is not quite as heavy as you make it seem. If you worked out your arms a little, you could swing one fifteen times without breaking a sweat, and that would take half the time it takes to learn how to not hit yourself with nunchucks. second of all, nun chucks in history were not used often at all, because of its ineffectiveness. Nobles had it as a toy.

[@Thornblooduser]

[@alexanderazzopardi5681]

[@connor9207]

says he's never used nunchucks before. swings them like a freaking ninja

[@OxyDafvknBandit]

NOW THATS PUMPKIN CARVING AT ITS FINEST GOOD JOB !!

[@_MrBread]

Don’t quote me on this but a friend once told me that the tapering is because for the weight to be kept at the bottom so your nunchucks won’t fold in the middle of the swing, that’s why when i made mine with just a dowel (but i might have had cut the handle a bit shorter as i expected), i compensated that problem by putting a light weight at the bottom, light enough to keep the momentum but not heavy enough to impede the motion. Something like a small drawer knob. Or a screw and washer.

[@J_Squatch]

I lost my mind after the credits: *Aimlessly chopping bits of pumpkin* *Neighbor Lady walks by* *Waves* *Returns to chopping*

[@FactoryofRedstone]

maybe, you could make ribons, in the end, so when you hit the target, you got on the point of the ribons a much higher psi. The metal would also be not so springy as the wood, so you would also have an harder impact. Or what do you mean?

[@christiankerr4467]

Dude your aweome. I will DEFINITLY SUB because I adore your channel. From what I and the rest if the world sees is thst your a great guy. keep making vids and making alk ofnour lives better. your thr man :-)

[@raisedbybears1991]

That first cut with the machete was so satisfying

[@Anonomusturd]

Very nice. I've used one hole and tied a bowline knot on either side to make nunchucks before. It works just fine and holds up fine but this construction is far superior, will really last and easier to get the desired length, I'll definitely use it on my next pair. I have to ask though, did they feel light? They look lighter than the pairs I've made and possibly a little less powerful because of that. I'd recommend the same technique on a heavier and/or slightly thicker wood. In my experience the taper is not important but the weight and density really make a difference. (Been doing martial arts for 13 years so I'm very familiar with chucks) Love the video, thank you for sharing!

[@EpIc_NaChO]

The nunchuks were awesome and then you pulled out the other weapon and went ham on the pumpkins lol. It was great man

[@panamajohn2003]

Using hammer handles was a great idea. I've been making nunchaku for years, using hammer handles never occurred to me. Good thinking.

[@peterlustig8021]

I made myself some for like 3 bucks half a year ago. kinda funny how you did almost the same that I figured out. since I wanted to practice with them they are light and fully paracord wrapped (bright yellow and brown) keep it chucking guys!

[@TheRealNintendoKid]

when I string my nunchaku, I do it the same way as you except I try to braid the strings between them, and I braid them instead of wrapping them at the ends. That, and paracord is synthetic. You can use a lighter to just melt the ends to keep them from fraying.

[@TaoistSwordsman]

That's pretty good for someone using nunchucks for the first time! Probably especially since you're so humble lol

[@jeffwarley8231]

If I were to just get two sticks from the forest, What should I look for? i.e alive, dead that sort of stuff How dry should it be? Thanks

[@easson4841]

"im not gonna pretend i know how to use these" proceeds to look like a ninja master

[@lstcloud]

Just found your videos tonight and went through probably a dozen of them so far. Really creative, and good-looking weapons, especially for made on the cheap. Choke up on your grip and you'll have a lot better control (it'll also be a lot safer to make sure that you don't have enough slack to accidentally smack yourself in the back of the head for the underarm tucks), but other than that - looked pretty impressive for somebody who's never used them before.

[@GhostMoth]

you are crazy amazing ( and you have good taste in music) keep up the good work ^-^

[@logangreene7162]

Hey if you can break out that in the ground forge again I think that would be a cool build. Maybe using a non touch thermometer would make it easier to make sure you are getting your metal to the right temperature. Something I'm sure you have thought of by now.

[@Oflyin]

I made a pair last weekend using pvc, sand, hot glue and some left over chains. I suppose paracord would be a good substitute.

[@jacobtaylor6368]

[@grenadeen199]

this might sound stupid but see to make a bo staff would it just be as simple as buying a hard wood broom handle or dowel or is there anything you can do to make it better?

[@julesthurongi1223]

Hickory hammer handles, genius!!

[@franktherabbit42]

I was a bit skeptical about pumpkins. We dont have them in the uk that often. But being halloween soon, we have some in the shop i work at. So I punch on to see how hard they are.. Although it cracked a bit, I was surprised to say the least. They are very very hard. So when you smash them and make them look mushy, I’m actually more impressed than I was before. Cool stuff

[@guspurcell1629]

That was awesome. I will totally try this out. Could you make a video on how to make Tonfa? It will probably we tricky but I would love to learn how to make them.

[@henrym7004]

I think I have an idea to maybe improve it. You could drill holes twards the bottom of the handle and then put some nuts bolts and washers in it to give it more weight and power. Just an idea . Please let me know what you think

[@storchinup1437]

first 4 seconds of the video, the eyebrow raise already made the whole video

[@SkullSkillsSkates]

while it may have been hard to do there. but for paracord you can just burn the cut end of the string. it should melt and make it thicker so it probably won't slip backwards.

[@flintlockfirepower591]

+ZNA Productions nice video but one question: what sort of knife is that lying on the table at 4:17 to 4:44?

[@Theivv]

Whenever I was training with nunchaku on targets (usually heavy bags) we were required to wear goggles/paintball masks. Those things hurt on the side of the head, but the eye/teeth are very vulnerable.

Idk if I just came up with a terribly new unsafe weapon jury now, but how about a nun chick that's just a handle attached to a razor sharp blade the same length as the handle that's sharp on both sides.

did you think of putting some weight in the handles to have more force

[@YaBoiKenpai]

I'm not sure if this comment will be read or not, but in any case I was wondering if you could upgrade the nunchucks and make them similar to the Nail studded club, I think it would make them a bit deadlier, but it would be interesting to see

[@freenarative]

Your neighbour must REALLY love you. picture the scene> Neighbour: "Hi ZNA. What ya up to?" ZNA: " Nothin' much.

K Bye" ZNA: *waves cheerfully.

[@joshuaosgood6494]

hey zed naught, I don't know if you have a specific reason for gluing para-cord, i just wanted to let you know that you can use a lighter (or a match) to fuse the end. I find this both faster and more efficient. I REALLY WANT THAT HOODIE but I am broke af (sorry). Ether way, I love your videos and hope you keep making them. P.S. use that sic club you made to smash a pumpkin (Halloween build). Sincearly, a fan.

[@maqo357]

The wood part don't need too long, it's about equal with the arm and need make from hard wood (for little heavy) and the wire tight together with the knot and be hidden inside the wood part, so don't need glue.

[@miragepoppies]

hey why don't you make kanoba nun chucks??? would it be better than plain ones?

[@spartanmc95]

really random question, but what brand/style pants were you wearing when you were doing the damage test portion? cause they look damn good XD and i would actually want to get a pair if i could find em. would really appreciate a reply and keep up the awesome content :)

[@chandrajohnson9845]

Just a suggestion from a fan, you could add a little weight in the ends of the kontei (the ends) by drilling into the end a short ways and screwing in a lag bolt (I'd offer size suggestions, but I don't honestly know the diameter of the hammer grips you've got there), and then, not only would you have a kontei you could use as a bashing weapon for a short range smack if needed, but the added weight would improve the velocity of the batons when in motion. You could further enhance that effect with some wire wrapping near the ends of the individual batons. Obviously, that adds time and expense to the build you've shown here, but, for those interested, not a huge amount of either. Make those sumbitch pumpkins PAY!

[@Dragonteen9]
