r/MACES

Had fun weathering this hardwood specimen. Kept the grip fairly untouched for full functionality.

I'm building v2 of my fire flail, the first was a gift and has a terrible burn time. How can I get a smoother front propeller spin? I don't trust bearings from nunchucks, this takes way more force. Would pulling the initial chain link in the shaft so it's only a semi-circle smooth it out?

Cut this burl last August and I have been thinking about putting a finish on it or maybe adding spikes. Any ideas?

Little gator tooth..... something I made

Stone, gator teeth and wood by me and the amazing beadwork done by a friend in Florida!

I don't even now why I made it but it felt good.

Google the demon core, I ain't posting the whole thing

Seen this build floating around and wanted to build it for a few years now, finally splurged at menards and got the necessary parts. $21 for the 6 way 1/2" fitting, 24" long pipe and the 5 plugs and end cap.

Not including the steel bb's I filled the head with and half a roll of hockey tape I used to make the grip as they are optional, Para cord lanyard optional as well.

Maybe another $6-8 if you want to count all the accessories. Lol

Measures 26.5" end to end and weighs 2.8lbs

Will post a video against a coconut or watermelon soon, breaks 1x boards easily, coolest $21 i spent so far this year i think!

A flanged mace had made in poland by a blacksmith i commissioned for one, early 2025.

Not sure if it falls under the flair "homemade", though a blacksmiths place is also a home to so, haha.

At 91cm long and 2.55kg its a big hefty bugger, though it sits nicely on the wall and smashes things no isseus.

The axe is a forged firewood axe that i also like to hang on my wall... in fact i hang quite a lot of random things on the walls now i think about it haha.

Also do ignore the swords, yes they're also functional, the kanji on the black translates to "sorrow", but hey look! A beautiful mace! That's what we're here for.

Ps, Yhe grip of the flanged mace is carved wood.

Does anyone know a to get one? More pacifically one like this

I made it with a hollowed log I found and a thick branch, pushed the branch through the hole, hammered it in snug then hammered in smaller sticks and twigs to make sure it was secured.

It was 4.5 feet and roughly 17 pounds, the handle section was about 3 feet. It was so fun to train with and swing.

Unfortunately I spotted some white mold inside the log and had to toss the whole thing, that was about 4 months ago and I miss it every day. I hope to make something similar soon.

Made this from bits and pieces in the garage - weight bar locking nuts, plumbing bit, and a cut down walking stick piece.

Thanks for the inspiration peeps, this is my first non 3d print mace.
