Building chucks is far easier than I thought it would be, and im fairly satisfied. After looking forever for some I liked and never really finding a perfect set (with the exception of a woodalls custom pair) I found that chucks you build yourself you tend to perfer over those you buy.
Its really pretty simple dude, all you need a drill and some drill bits, and some paracord, poly-nylon cord(my preference) or chain.
You can use a dowel of wood purchased at your local hardware store, or you can use somthing like PVC. Even simpler, If you can find 2 matching wooden brooms or hammers etc. They will work well.
The hardest part of making nunchaku is the stringing process, which IMO the best yet is the Ernie Budo lab tutorial in this forum.
Im uploading my DIY's soon. be sure to check em out, If you like I can help walk you through building your own pair.

the first pair of home made chux i ever built were made of PVC piping.
very easy to string. and very light, nice and cheap too.
just drill some holes on the end of both sticks, and string um through.
heres the link for the guide i put up

just like most things building nunchaku is something that you get better and better at by experimenting and learning from youre mistakes , I reccomend trying different lengths of cord or chain to see which you prefer , I personally like longer chain , non many manufactured nunchaku are like this so I build my own and I probably would not have found my own style (lots of digit combos and aerials) without trying to build different chux
I can't remember where I heard this but somebody once said "the true master builds his own tools" and for me thats true with chux although I really would like to eventually buy some prochux and some custom workshop chucks
