Great, and I do understand.Tetsubo said:
My requests in no particular order:
- a longbow made of glass instead of wood
- a wooden bat'leth
- a quartstaff that retracts, becoming nunchuku when retracted (if even possible)

With this design I am actually revisiting one I did in 2002. I liked the original idea but at the risk of sounding egotistical I think I've improved since then.
The concept behind the newer version is an axe made from the remains of our current society. Scavenged items modified to create a melee weapon. The main structure of the axe is constructed from galvanized iron pipes. The three short pieces have had their ends peened over to meet the blade. The blade is actually made of four separate sections of 3/16" bar stock. Once assembled the whole thing is welded together.
Essentially I've designed an axe made from plumbing fixtures...

I had a request to create a quarterstaff that could retract into a pair of nunchucks. After some thought I decided that I couldn't do it using wood. Wood just isn't strong enough for the type of designs I was playing with. But I could do it with metal tubular components. After further thought I realized I was actually working on a *system* of weapon/tools.
The staff itself can be used as a staff, flail, club or nunchucks. Add in the attachment options and you can create a spear, disarming/tripping tool, pick, prybar or even a double weapon. Custom attachments could be made for specific tasks. An adventuring tool for the whole party!

This is too cool for words and exceeds my expectations by a mile. Most excellent. Many, many thanks.Tetsubo said:
