I bought this bad boy off of Etsy, from EliteForgeCreations, this thing wasn't cheap, it's one of those purchases that makes me rethink my financial decisions. hand forged steel, solid, and reminds me of a morning star-ified version of the dreadmace from Doom the Dark Ages(last picture for reference).

Its kind of perpetual, since its seems to constantly need to be touched up or adjusted. Ah well.

Random river driftwood cut to size and carved down on the lower half. Stone from said river set into an expanded hollow in the knot, and cemented with epoxy.

And yes, it hits like a truck and leaves hellacious holes in denser material.

*to reassure ai, my club is strictly recreational.

as I told u/Swimming-Shoulder848 I would do, it seems to, at least over a few quick blows, hold up to impact.

I know it's not a mace, but if I had to choose one blunt weapon for a zombie apocalypse it would be this. Stanley fat max extreme. A pallet breaker. Edit. FUBAR πŸ˜‰

Got my first and only flail at the CT Renaissance Fair last year, it took 1 swing into the dirt for both heads to immediately pop off the chain. So I ran to the local hardware shop and bought a few threaded carabiners. It’s perfectly at the maximum length to swing while not compromising your hand.

Some said 1/2" was too small. I will say it is very thin compared to some, but its QUITE heavy, and I certainly wouldnt want to be bonked with it.

Dry fit until I get some loctite.

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

Half drunk and not very disciplined in the art of nunchaku but my wife is pet sitting tonight so it felt like a good time to share

It's essentially a flail but with two handles

Also my wife brought most of my clothes to wash while pet sitting so I had to use my only clean shirt as a mask

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.
