r/MACES

quite weighty

I do woodland crafts with kids, they love to make maces, so i thought I'd share a few.

Maybe not the prettiest but fun to make and hit things with!

Do tonfa count as maces? Maces need metal for the striking area so like, I'm 1/3rd of the way there right?! Also, the red is just wax, not blood. I used it to seal the ends to prevent cracking as I harvested this tree myself.

There are 2 different style medieval spiked ball chain flails. One hollow steel ball. The other a wooden ball with embedded spikes.

Inspired by the recently shared cheese axe.

The cheeses arent actual cheese but secretly made from solid aluminum, it is actually quite well balanced.

Here is the final mace in the pinochile series. Why pinochile not poker or blackjack? My grandfather was a pinochile addict, loved it. In his memory. Red leather cord wrapped handle, diamonds are painted, red Jasper cabochon hilt with a diamond painted in it (+5 fire damage). I feel like this one could do some decent damage.

I found this lab glassware in an antique store with bunch of other glassware (most looked like they are used for distillation) anyone know what this is? And what it was used for? There were alot of herb jars so i thought it was something with herbs, but that seemed strange

EDIT: Someone in the comments probably found out what it is, its a demonstration for pascals law.

Here is the mace of clubs or club of clubs. Next piece in the pinochile series. Black leather handle, laser etched ♣️, obsidian cabochon hilt ( 25% chance to cast death?). This shaft i used is a bit different. Its a brushed pewter finish (note the darker gray color). If you are looking to make pipe mace and want a finished shaft, look in the ceiling fan area form universal down rod. They are 3/4 and the y thread in all the way with showing the threads. One more to go. The mace of diamonds. ♦️

I'm in love with native clubs.If you know any history about them, please let me know

Here is the next mace in the pinochile series. Mace of hearts. Red braided leather handle. Rose quartz hilt (50% chance to cast enchantment). I decided to keep the hearts in the upright orientation and it has a nice hooking 🪝 damage effect. Also made this weapons rack this week. Almost filled up already. ♣️♦️ Will be coming soon and will be display in the vertical position on the rack like the ♥️♠️.

As noted, this was found randomly in my yard. It looks like the end is used for leverage, but I've never seen anything like this.

Nothing much but my ride along companion.

Another example of a typical Southeastern woodland style of gunstock warclub, of which there were undoubtedly many variations. The metal blade here was a broken and repurposed Spanish lancehead.

Almost forgot her little sister.
