Let's play "I made this"!
May 9 2011, 9:33 PM EDT
So, in light of Zombie month, I'm deciding to roll out our brand new, fabulous game "I made this". In it, contestants must submit photos of weapons that they made. Winner gets a photo compliment, so lets get STARTED!The first is an old class favorite, weighing in at under a pound and scaring zeds back into their graves for almost a year now, it's TK's warhammer! http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/photos/album/180395/TK%27s+album/photo/10890009/TK%27s+warhammer+1 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

"One hour. One whole hour and not a single submission. Filadog, T-Rat, SovietPrince, anyone?Picked up a spike tomahawk head a few months ago and I'm currently making a handle for it from desert ironwood... not done yet, but does it even qualify? I didn't make the head, but it's useless without a handle.. desert ironwood is incredibly hard, heavy and dense and loaded with silicates, so it's slow going.... Beautiful wood, and damn near indestructable, but it's playing merry he** with my cutting tools... forged tool steel just gets dull. I need carbide tools to make real progress. Edit: I have a few spike tomahawks, and I have to make a correction.. it's actually a reproduction of a British Boarding Axe... 4" wide blade with a wicked spike on the backside. A bit larger and heavier than a sleek tomahawk, but when you connect, things tend to fly apart. 2 out of 2 found this valuable. Do you? |

Unless I'm going to simply pound a nail through a board, it takes a bit more than an hour.

http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/photo/12136804/brandon_a_boyer%27s+bedMy latest fabrication, a bed for my not-so little brother. It's made out of 14 gauge square tubing and held together by 1/4 grade five bolts. It doubles as a jack stand for trucks. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Hah! Your regular nailboard is nothing against TK's warhammer! TK's warhammer has ablolutely no risk of it's nail coming out the other end, allowing me to safely hit harder objects with more force.

Also, yes you can use pre-existing weapons, no you can't use weapons that aren't finished yet.

"Also, yes you can use pre-existing weapons, no you can't use weapons that aren't finished yet."Are you only looking for 'offensive' weapons or do my gardens count as a weapon? While they are a fundamental aspect of my defence (resistance is fertile) They are never ever finished : ) 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

Heres a Spike Axe and the Machete I madehttp://imagehost.vendio.com/a/2300199/aview/1305018815180_001.JPG Made the Spike axe out of a broken carpenter hammer and the machete an old buggy spring and a piece of Elk Antler Heres a knife I made for a girlfriend of mine last year http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/2300199/aview/MVC-006F.JPG Made it out of a rusty file and a broken table leg with wire taken from a motor I found in the dump. She is into Indian stuff and has a Raven design tattooed on here arm. This is sort of a Northwest Indian type of knife Close up of the carved Raven handle http://imagehost.vendio.com/a/2300199/aview/MVC-005F.JPG I made the Eyes from abalone shell which was what they often used 1 out of 1 found this valuable.

http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/photo/10628214/Timber%27s+WarhammerWhat can I say? This is a weapon made from leftover pipe and fittings. If you can un-screw a jar of peanut butter you can make something similar. Give me a week or two and I could probably come up with something that actually takes a little skill. I have none of the metalworking skills that Filadog or Brandon have. I have much respect for both these member's abilities. Do you find this valuable? |

It's not much, but here's a machete i did some work on. Lengthened the handle and wrapped it with some leather. Ground and tapered the tip to more of a thrusting point. It still chops good, even minus the extra weight at the end.http://www.zombiesurvivalwiki.com/photo/12137857/- Sorry, having trouble linking to the photo. Do you find this valuable? |

So far, it's filadog's spike axe against bill's machete. Oh, and dono's coming in, things are about to get messy!The machete does have a wicked saw on the back, along with a nice point. Could you guy's perhaps take pictures of tests you ran on them? Do you find this valuable? |

-Holds out hand with -You can find it here. Enjoi! --- A good weapon is your mind. I remember reading a book on it, and there IS in fact a way to make your mind do things (such as make a small fire, or sparks). To do so, it'd take a lot of mental training and concentration, but, the mind is able to change molecules to make something warm/hot with precise concentration or something like that. I am going to enter my mind into this contest, even though I didn't create it, I have worked on it, so I hope that counts. I also have no link to it, but, I think we can overlook that. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

I don't have a pic of my maul or any of my weapons.... but I made the helm in my profile pic.It's 14ga steel for the cap itself, the frame is 12 ga, the chainmail is also 14 ga. The plume is homebound horsehair and removable. Took me about 4 days of actual work across two weeks. I tested the design, with no frills, with a wood axe(single bit felling axe, jersey), a two-handed sword, and a sledgehammer. Obviously, the sledgehammer was too much, but it held up to the other two pretty well. Do you find this valuable? |
