Back in the 80’s I made a pair of nunchucks at the furniture company I worked for. The materials and tools were all accessible and made them during breaks and applied finishing touches at home. I was really happy with the result l. They were octagonal, tapered and french polished. I still have them to this day. I really like your video. For me your creation highlighted the beauty in ‘imperfection’ such as the organic form of your sticks which actually made them ‘perfect’. Your use of available materials such as the laces and sock were creative and inspiring, and entertaining. Thank you for sharing!

Ming Wang Hi Ming, I am not a professional carpenter but I did work with professional furniture makers and I learnt from them I also did some research for example to learn how to french polish my nunchucks. My inspiration was Bruce Lee and at the time I bought two books written by Japanese Authors who wee experts in Karate and weapons. That was in 1984 :) The books: Nunchaku, karate weapon of self-defense Book by Fumio Demura Nunchaku: Dynamic Training by Hirokazu Kanazawa Nowadays I’m more interested in finding a book by Hirokazu Kanazawa who designed a ‘health’ kata or form where the practitioner hits acupressure points around the body to stimulate energy flow and improve health... its seems to be difficult to find that book!

JonEO, Thank you for your comment, good luck on your making.

I love your videos! This is one of the best videos on home "nunchuck" construction. I started to make a pair this weekend. The only things left are to apply some finish, then string them up!

This video deserves an A+ for creativity and resourcefulness. Now, I have an idea of what to do with all those short lengths of paracord that have piled up in the shop.

sometimes pay with money, other times with sweat (sometimes blood and tears as well) - but somebody always pays something...

It's a great quote.

Thank you for this demonstration. You reminded me April 1989, when I worked at a construction site and made there a pair of nunchaks from broken shovel shaft, and then decorated it with carving, using for this pocket knife, which made it look more nice and my grip better. It great to remember such things. ;-)

This brought back some memories. I had a friend who made me a wooden set but with a chain back in the mid 80's, then in the late 80's I found myself with a black metal set that I have absolutely NO recollection of where I got them from. A month ago I bought some more, wooden again, because that young teenager inside my mind (the body is nearly 47) said "Do it, you know you wanna!" Thanks for this. Think it's time I tried to be creative.

Great video! I’ve used chucks for over 40 years and it’s nice to see a how-to so I can make my own! ありがとうございました

I built several styles of these back in 1979-80. This is a great tutorial on building the traditional type. The only thing that I would add is to use some superglue on the cords where they are wrapped at the ends. It will make loosening an impossibility and there is no subsequent maintenance or concern. Another thing that I noticed you had done properly but didn't point out quite enough, is the bevel and sand the top hole in each stick. Sand it down to a very fine and smooth surface. Then the time it takes for the cord to smooth it down to a polished surface will result in minimal fraying of the cord. So I have a few sets of these that are now 40 years old, made with oak and nylon cord. I have used the heck out of them for that 40 years, and the cords are still strong and solid. Pretty amazing. Thanks for taking the time to make such a great video on the traditional build techniques for these. I've shown mine to my nephew and he asked me how I build them. I'll just send him a link to your video.

Shoelaces are best because they make your nunchucks feel humble, and feel like they are a part of you. Also, the shoelaces have aglets. The aglets make forcing the string easy through the hole.

Mine look similar. I made and still.have 45+ years later. No finish just the oil from my hands broom handle.and para cord. I round the ends of each stick prevents splinters. The end holes I make larger so I can pull the knot down inside I then taper and polish the center holes this prevents wear on rope maybe a little wax . About 12 inches rope length allows enuff to hang over my wrist rope still good after 45 years. Back.from time of Bruce. No rubber chucks you got the hang of it or you did not.

this video finally solves the 'rope connection mystery'. THNX M8

Haha I like your collection there at the end! Reminds me of a nunchuck I made out of kitchen foil paper tubes (but your PVC pipe one looks better!). I like the wood ones too. I made one from a tree branch in my garden once but it wasn't as good! (Ended up breaking my TV with it!). Moral of the story, make sure you tie the laces tight (as Ming shows in the video) and always practice outside away from delicate people & things!
