DIY Collection

[Lysergic]

Hi guys, new member here  

I've only just got into nunchaku   and I have been lurking this forum for a few weeks.

I would like to thank all the members here, especially those who have posted DIY pics/guides as that is where I have got all my inspiration from!

So here is my collection so far:



This is the first pair that I made. They are made of pine and measure 290ml x 25ml. The cord is ~70ml.




These are my PVC practice chux. They measure roughly the same as the pine ones.




This was made from a piece of scrap wood  . Not sure what type of wood it is but they are fair bit heavier than the pine ones. Measures about the same again.
The pattern/grip was done using a file.




The smaller pair are made of oak and measure 210ml x 25ml with ~220ml cord.
The larger ones are made of pine again and measure 355ml x25ml with ~70ml cord. I got the idea for the grip here:

These are a work in progress. They will end up being fire-chux once they are finished. I saw a guide on the T-swivels on this site somewhere but I cant find it again sorry.
All you need is 2 bolts, a drill, a file and a hacksaw. Saw bolt at desired length, drill a hole and file the head round. There you have it!

I'm not so sure what to use as a chain, is there a website everyone buys chain from? If someone could give some advice here it would be appreciated  



All of the corded chux use 3ml braided nylon cord and were strung using this method:

Thanks for the kind words all 

I just ordered some oval quicklinks, chain and kevlar, hope they get here soon! 

I'm having almost as much fun making chux as I am spinning them haha

I made a couple of new oak pairs





I also finished my swivel pair and made some firechux. Can't wait to light them up 



I used Kevlar thread to hold it together because I didn't want any exposed metal on the wick.
Decided not to put Kevlar on the swivel pair for now as they are dangerous enough without fire  they weight a ton.
