Search trough your garage for some old bike-gears, you better dont use the ones made for racing because they are too lightweigt.

Get ones that fit your hand, i used small ones but you should use slightly bigger ones.

Now get something strong to jam it into while you use the electronic vijl on it ( i dont know what its called in English, so just look at picture 2

 That's not a gear; it's a sprocket.

he probably got it off a bike that out lived its service or at least a part's bin his father doesn't go through. he'd kill him for turning a Campy granny gear into a Campy "shuriken" lol. that could also be why he said in the beginning don't use ones made for racing. he probably made it, realized it was a little too lightweight for an effective weapon. i'd use shimano mountain gears myself, i got plenty and they weigh a little more

Ha, there are a lot of websites. And i'm taking german in school, so i can under stand about 1/4 of what u said

a better idea would be to use a less expensive gear like from a basic ten speed and cut it so that the inside is what you use not the outside what you have there is a rael and no thats not a typo thats how its spelled the chakram is a disk much like this one but without teeth it has a smooth or wavy edge a rael on the other hand does have teeth and was generally not as sharp... but its a good idea and for all you morons that are going on about a weapon being worthless unless you use it on someone..... YOUR MORONS!! the point is for practice if you must. get a target and practice its fun and helps enhance accuracy i have been throwing knives since i was 7 and am now 23 and i can tell you anyone who feels that there is no point in owning/making something along these lines unless you cause someone else harm really should not be making them in the first place in fact the majority of you belong in a padded cell where you cant hurt the intelligent folk

... unless if you make them just to throw at fences (or my neighbors dog (Ha ha!))
Apr 16, 2008. 8:37 AMjongscx says:
Why do you fight the fence? The fence cannot fight back...
Apr 16, 2008. 4:13 PMEnigmaMax says:
do you prefer I throw ninja stars at people?
Apr 16, 2008. 5:38 PMjongscx says:
Well, it will certainly raise awareness for the classic movie, Enter the Dragon, from whence my previous comment came from.... ...but only if they too can fight back. Attacking innocent strangers is like tossing darts at a cube of jello... there's no satisfying impact, only quivering.

I don't know Dutch, but I assume vijl = file. But the tool you've got there, we call it a Dremel (the brand name).
Apr 13, 2008. 3:20 PMmysterious ninja of fire says:
id do this but i dont have an old bike dont have the time and dont have a file lol
Apr 5, 2008. 7:18 AMsmeata says:
decent instructable. old idea (remember doing in myself when i was 12 lol) and no offence but yours isnt the best example of these i have ever seen. i imagine it would do the job it's designed for but i normally try and make my gear a bit easier on the eyes
Jan 31, 2008. 11:29 AM4th guy says:
Just for your information. Real shurikens are close combat weapons which are aerodynamic. I'd like to see you fighting with a shuriken like that in your hand. :P (Looks cool though)
Apr 4, 2008. 4:39 AMcodykage says:
they were actually used for distracting the opponent/s. like a secondary weapon for a katana and so on. but yeh would be too easy for them to see where it came from if its a gear haha! and its called a dremel. nice instructable :)

Aug 19, 2007. 8:09 PMazn_poptart says:
ok i dont really care if its a chakram or a shuriken, as long as it is sharp, able to throw it, can hurt someone(like i would use it on someone[sheesh]), and its shiny
Aug 12, 2007. 2:11 AMromor24 says:

May 5, 2007. 8:40 AMaltaria1993 says:
yes you are a "N00ber" and you speak against yourself :) "i do this crap all the time" - if its crap, then why do you do it? "whats the point of having a ninja star (which should be shuriken, a ninja star is nothing...) if you don(')t throw it at people???(one ? is enough)but it is very sweet - eeh, first you say it doesnt have a purpose, and then you are gonna say its sweet , that is just shit talk, if you want to do cool, go stop talking like shit , if you now are offended, i'm sorry, i'm just correcting you. alty
Oct 27, 2006. 2:50 PMIntagra says:
that is no Shuriken you made but a Chakram. a shuriken is a star like thing and small 2. a chakram like yours is a ring like chape. srry got dysleksie. and im dutch :)
Mar 10, 2007. 2:40 AMaltaria1993 says:
a chakram is a half rounded ring with a sharper outter edge, so this actually IS a shuriken, just one that didn't exist yet, there are dozens of types more, search on the interweb :P alty

Rotery saw blades work well and save you the trouble of making a point. They also have quite a bit of weight so they stick in DEEP.
