Ok, cool. That definately helps but how do you make that?
Okay:
1. where the string goes in at the top (the ana), drill a hole about half the diameter of your nunchuk to the depth of 1 inch along the axis of the nunchuk.
2. drill a hole at right angles to the chuck 1 inch down the chuck so that it pierces the first hole. This second hole should be anout twice the diameter of your chosen chord.
3 . drill a hole , same diameter and hole 2, parallel to hole 2 but 1 inch futher down the chuck. You should now habe enough holes to be able to tie the chord in the proper chuck way, only it will not be recessed into the side of the chuck, so don't do this yet.
4. between holes 2 and 3 on either side of the nunchuck, rout a channel as deep as the diameter of holes 2 and 3. All done.
I say "all done" as if 4 were easy. It is IF you have a router. If you don't you could use the same drill used in 2 and 3 to drill a series of holes in a line between holes 2 and 3, to the required channel depth (same as diameter of drill) You could then try to remove the wood separating these holes to form the required channel. Probably a better method is to buy a small (say 1/4 inch) chisel and, using a mallet, chisel a channel between holes 2 and 3 on either side.
Heres's a picture of a bunch od chisels. You'll need the thinnest (6 mm)
Going the chisel route, you should draw a couple of lines to mark out the channle you are trying to cut. Next use a large chisel to mark out these lines, cutting straight down into the chuck (to a depth of about 1/2 mm. Now chisel between these two lines with the thin chisel. Repeat until you are at the required depth.
