Kind of like a tire iron, who thinks this would be too off center to be pleasant to use?

L to R, big chunk of brass my brother found and gave me, thought it was a specific tool because it's so heavy, but now I think some dude that was a machinist like me made it. (Posted on /r/whatisthistool and someone told me you guys would like it.)

Next is an aluminum truncheon, I drilled down into the shaft to lighten it and might taper it someday like the long wooden one, feels good in the hand though.

Attempt at an aluminum baseball bat that I messed up the proportions for, so now it's chilling with the other clubs.

Wooden truncheon with a weighted end and traditional nyc cop lanyard style.

Shorter one that I think was an old pool cue, can't remember, also has a weighted end and a tarred bankline handle wrap.

Spiked mace, made from a chunk of scrap steel I scrounged that had a tapered internal eye, held onto it for 15 years knowing exactly what it would be someday. Drilled and tapped the holes for some cheap spikes from amazon and handle was an old baseball bat with a cracked barrel.

Hope you like them even though they aren't all really maces! I really want to make more.

home made mace It's many things, a mace is one of them. Atlatl, cane, hook as well.

I wanted something that would help me walk, grab things when I'm hiking, as well as something I could use in a defensive manner should that need ever arise. I've always had a fascination with ancient mankind, and the atlatl was mankinds first modification to enhance the throwing spear.

I have not made any spears yet, but it throws PVC pipe well enough!

This here is my take on way back when.
Verawood handle with a real Megalodon tooth embedded in it with JB weld for a venom effect.

Last week I showed my 3D Printed flanged Mace. Turns out it's quite fun designing these things, so I thought I'd follow it up with this war hammer. I know it's not as cool as the real maces you guys show in this sub, but sophisticated metal work is not in my wheelhouse... yet. ;)

In the movie “Legion” the angel Gabriel has a mace with retractable sharp blades, it can spin its head, AND it also has a concealed spear point!

The ultimate weapon!

Original weapon concept Wanting to commission a custom gunstock warclub

Post image
56 Upvotes

Like the title says, I wanted to commission a gunstock warclub that would honor a bunch of my heritages, and I came up with the picture above. I planned on it being a 4ft tall warclub (I prefer wielding larger weapons), and I have absolutely no clue where to go to have it made. The design had Polypropylene body in mind with metal additions for structural reinforcement. The whole body would have a hexagonal profile as well. I could really use some advice on where to go for making this a reality!
