Weapons Tutorials

I know I have been lagging on this; but I just got a high torque drill, and I should be getting the batteries and charger for it soon.  As you might know, I had to fell the guava tree in my backyard (It was a variety that was very susceptible to plagues, so all the fruit was all maggoty, and the final result was that it just shed leaves that clogged up the drain in the backyard, so that the backyard and my kitchen, and the room out back would get flooded when it rained.  So I Paul Bunyaned the hell out of that shit).  Out of that wood, I am trying to make a shillelag (an Irish fighting stick), and a three piece nunchaku.  The plan is to carve a dragon on the center staff of the nunchaku with the drill, cover all three pieces in butter, then bake them until they get that nice black sheen.  That is also how you cure the wood on the fighting stick, although I don't think that will fit in my oven (I would appreciate alternative suggestions about that).  Then afterwards, I will buy a couple of pieces of chain, and use long screws to join the three pieces of wood.  Three piece nunchaku should be done pretty soon.  Next up will be either a sling, or a slingshot, or a pistol grip pump action crsossbow.  I think the sling will be the simplest, so I'm probably gonna go with that.
I will show you pictures of everything I make.  Don't get me wrong.  I love guns; but sometimes you need a weapon that is more silent.  That is the only reason I even own a katana.
