Well, as far as making one...I wouldn't be sure where to start...butttttt...I did find this site that sells them for around $15 a piece, if you're interested. Your thread sortof sparked an interest, so I did some research! haha, and that's what I found. Hopefully that helps you in SOME way!? haha

As far as making them goes, 10mm plywood would've been my first call, but if that didn't work... Try finding some oven-bake clay that you can shape then harden. The brand you're most likely to find is Sculpy, I know that works well. Try your local flea markets too, they tend to carry that kind of stuff.

dude why would you make these? Any local knife shop or gun store has "paper weights" what are actually brass knuckles.. .i think thats how they get away with selling them...but anyway yeah they're f*** cheap. If you don't have a knife store or a gun store, see if thers a gun show coming through town sometime soon, gunshows always have tons of these things (probably literally).

Pfff, you North Americaners use plywood for everything. I'd recommend against this, the wood gives too many splinters. MDF or balsa wood (From a moel shop) would be a more comfortable solution!UFProductions wrote:As far as making them goes, 10mm plywood would've been my first call, but if that didn't work...

You're right, I am a smartass. Too bad you're a silly billy.
And if you are so good and great, why don't you actually answer Vor's question?

Isn't that an appropriate censor!Epsilon wrote:silly billy
I problem I see with wood is, to have something thin like brass knuckles, even if cut nicely, would potentially be crushed when held. Which is probably why they were made of metal and not called wood knuckles!

Plywood would work in this case, it wouldn't crush, but by all means an actuall set of brass knuckles would be best. I once saw a plastic pair in a toy set at a dollar store! In the "Police Officer" kit of all things. BTW, what is the word that "silly billy" gets swearbotted in for, I've never been able to figure it out.
