a couple pieces of dowel
a few chain links
a couple of these u-shaped nails to attach the chain to the dowels

I made my own way back but I used a thick wooden broom handle cut to two equal length, 2 of these



and some

Same. Then wrap some electrical tape around them to look cool and you have yourself a weapon. This is like a 30 minute project.

I'd order them online, but I need them sooner than later.

Does anybody know where I can find some nunchaku? I've found foam ones linked with a chain, but . . . bleh; I think real ones would be cooler.

Trying to impress girls with skills, eh?

Why? How many people are getting hacked up by swords every year?

There are ways these stores get around this. My friends uncle owned a Martial arts store in Kamloops. Those foam covered plastic nunchucku they sell use the same chain/ bearing piece as hard bodied one's. He use to sell those and sold just the wooden handles separate. You just bought both of these parts pop out the rivit and re- rivit. Its still illegal to own but just don't takem out .
