Sneak-Peek: Wooden Mace Replica
Added 2019-06-01 11:00:03 +0000 UTCFriends:
To celebrate the paperback release of _One Week to Woodturning_, I decided to do an ambitions turning video.
This is a 16th century Hungarian mace. I copied it from an example in a famous historical weapons collection. It was a lot more difficult than expected (I should have thought harder about the challenges of turning a five-inch sphere and 22 wooden spikes).
Anyway, the finish is still wet on the piece and the edit is in the works. I'll most likely have this up on Sunday morning, but I think it's a good one.
Hope everyone's weekend is off to a great start!

Any updates on this? I've got my father's old ShopSmith and am ready to start wielding chisels with complete abandon!

2019-06-10 10:20:56 +0000 UTCI failed you. As a former D&D enthusiast and patron, I should have seen this earlier and let you know that once you add spikes to a mace, it becomes a morning star. If you put a chain between the handle and the ball, it becomes a flail.

2019-06-01 12:53:06 +0000 UTCDon't sell yourself short! It's just individual pieces and none of them is too hard. Wait till you see the video.
