| Okay... so I still have a broken finger but really needed to do something crafty. I made some wooden knuckle dusters today (personalized) but I screwed them up a little and have to sand them down again. They are pretty much finished, except for sanding and beveling, so if you remind me tomorrow afternoon I'll get pictures up. EDIT: Pictures! So I made this knuckle duster to look like a cow skull It was fun. Hadn't carved wood in a while; I only used some basic hardwood from my shed. I got this awesome sandstone look on it by soaking it in the skull in bleach. It's pretty wicked for an experiment. All in all, it fits my hand well and is nice and smooth. The horns stay on the sides and don't get in the way. I also figured since "pressure = force/area" it would pack a harder punch if it narrowed down to a kind of point. I think all I have to do now is engrave 'Cowscankill' into the back Sooo, what do you guys think? (oh yeah, my finger heals completely in like 4 weeks, so don't expect to much )

| Well, my plan for making money is failing miserably because I need two hands.... So I might make a metal one eventually if I get money. | |

| Now THAT"S why I have this forum!!! Somebody designed something and MADE IT!!! Thank you so much. I deal with so much trying to make this place cool and stuff it with information, I spend hours cleaning up post, moving them to the right areas, dealing with problem people....but THIS is the stuff that makes it worth it!!! I have NEVER see dusters that look like that....Dude, that's Awesome!!! For every 200 members I get I get ONE that builds something....if that many. There are so many members and most don't build, they just read or talk about how cool it would be. Thank you. I've been having a crappy weekend, , and you just gave me a little high point in my day. I wish more of you would build something. A+ Man | |

| Thank you Sinza Honestly, you do so much for the forum, I want to give back in some way. And I do love making and designing weapons I actually have many (partially) completed weapons, but losing the use of a hand tends to put many things on hold... OH! And something to look forward to: Tekko Kagi (this way, I can how you some of my metal working skills too) EDIT: HOLY COW! I reached weapons master and I can only type one handed! Thanks so much Sinza! Made my freaking week!! | |

....... And the pictures look GREAT !! I like the way you tapered the business end of your "Bovine Buster" down to a point,... and it looks like your prototype is fat enough where you could bevel it's thickness down the other way to make an even more wicked point if you wanted to. I can already see you taking this design to the next step by making it out of other materials, or adding some visual design features to accent the skull theme. It's looking good little bro!,...

| Carving a wood "core" is the first step get some casting sand, press the wood into the sand and pack it. lift the wood out, pour some metal in.
do it over and over and over . . .
Cool design. It will sell well.
find an acetylene torch and start saving brass scrap. | |

| Hey man, that's nice. As others have said, I would suggest making one out of metal, that way it would pack a harder punch. I like the design though.
Kudos to you. It looks kick ass. | |

| Thanks! I'll start collecting brass once I know what it looks like... and when I find some I'll probably end up buying brass screws or something and melting them down. | |

| You could probably make a "wall hanger" the same method, with a common propane torch and plumbing solder.
You'll get metal knucks, but the would bend and deform real easy. | |

| XIPHOIDS | Also known as a Retractable Forearm Dagger, Xiphoid is a class of weapons with a blade that is retractable into a forearm worn wristband/bracer sheath. Designed for swift and quick surprise attacks. It is notable for being evolved from the Katar and the Pata, punching swords with the blade sitting inline with the users fist.. |
Doers and Talkers | There's two kinds of people in this world when you boil it all down.
You've got your 'talkers' and you've got your 'doers'.
Most people are just talkers, all they got is talk. But when all is said and done, it's the doers who change this world. And when they do that, they change us. And thats why we never forget them...
So which one are you? Do you just talk about it or do you stand up and do something about it? Because believe you me, all the rest of it is just bullshit. |
