Introduction: How to Make a Pair of Ninja Shuriken
this is a tutorial i have made on how i made my first ever real project, these shuriken cost me nothing and are really easy so i recommend you give them a shot!! by the way video tutorial at the end
Step 1: Getting Materials and Getting a Design
so i started this project with this steel plate i found out in the paddock (its probably mild steel for those who care) and i cut it up into a section about 10cm x 10cm to fit my shuriken template, speaking of templates i grabbed this one online, you should have a look and find one that suits you.
Step 2: Hole Punching and Drilling
so i hole punched each place i was going to drill with a nail and made sure i got it in the exact centre, i then drilled out the hole carefully and slowly making sure that my drill bit didn't overheat, as you can see this is what it looks like
Step 3: Cutting and Shaping
so after all my holes have been drilled i moved onto cutting out the shuriken, i started by clamping them on my work bench then i got my angle grinder (you can use a hack saw) and cut the shape of the shuriken, this was quite easy as all the lines are straight
Step 4: Shining and Sharpening
so after the shuriken had been cut i then clamped them down and used a flap disk on my angle grinder( sand paper also does a good job)to remove rust and the paper template, also i used this opportunity to shine it up and remove built up scale. Then i powered up the bench grinder and added an edge to the shuriken to make them very pointy (mwhahaha) also a file does a good job at bevelling the edges
Step 5: Done!!!! Woohoo
this is pretty much all you need to do as you can see ive left this very basic and you can do various things to improve this but this is a fun weekend project pretty much anyone can do with a hacksaw and sandpaper
Step 6: Testing
if you look closely you will notice two shuriken in my dartboard, one of which destroyed part of my dartboard lol RIP
