Oooh god. Watching his fingers holding onto the safety guard made me clench my butt hole something fierce.
Favorite version of this weapon are the ones the Polynesians made, instead of obsidian they would use sharks teeth and tie it to they wood. The worst part about the Polynesian s version was it was designed for the sharks teeth to come out of it and stay imbedded in whatever there target was. They also look really freaking cool.
zna production made one it great
i am humbled by this knowlege.
Yeah I’ve seen Naruto
I think that's how the obsidian ones worked, too. The obsidian would chip off and stay in the wounds.
Obsidian ones worked the same way as well but the cool thing about the shark tooth ones was that it was better for penetration and serration so harder to heal vs obsidian which was better for slashing and gashing massive damage but sometimes still able to heal up if blood loss doesn't take you first. Both amazing versions of the weapon though.
You HAVE to figure out how to make an aztec death whistle. I'm kind of surprised the intro bit didn't revolve around it, tbh. That would have been epic.
After the sacrifice episode
At first I was like "You guys sure have ample access to hazing paddles" Then after a few minutes I was like "Wait, that's probably just a charcuterie board"
You are truly a man of culture knowing not just one, but both practical uses for that item. Well, I guess it's three now. If you'll excuse me I have some beer bottles to break
save those for mollies man
fire bottle go FOOM
Broken beer bottles would actually have been pretty accurate for this, since obsidian is considered a form of glass. The glass would break in a similar manner and create similarly sharp edges.
The great itzmacuahuitl of lager
Except obsidian is even sharper and under tension. That stuff bites when it cuts, and doesn't illicit much of an inflammatory response.
Broken bottle pieces would have too much curve to it.
@@jamesfair9751 True, yeah. Maybe if the chips were taken from the bottom of the bottle, but there are still potential issues. A flat plane of glass might work better, but I'm not sure.
@@jamesfair9751 nooo, you can flake it to very nice arrowheads. yes I have done a couple so... hmm, actually would be great episode for "resetting the counter suspense" , more "when" in the episode rather than "IF" (sharp glass shards on every surface and some even flying through the air, with their track record, blood will flow).
"Indestructible, reusable attack dummy!" Cue the cheese board with washers glued on.
I love the way Corey uses shades to protect his eyes. He deffo looks like a blind man using a circular saw.
Safety first. 😉
I always use my shades when cutting on my saw. It works lol
I'm just waiting for inevitable day, when you try to build a homemade Trebuchet in MRHQ, to launch cars across the property.
I would LOVE to see this
I'm sure their local law enforcement would love to see this too... and by which, I mean it'd give then a reason to launch a raid on the HQ. 😜
@@TheRealAlpha2 I mean pumpkin chunkins a thing
Also I don't think a trebuchet could launch a car.
@@nathanielwilcox4947 Actually I’ve seen a TV episode where they built one out of lashed-together telephone poles and then used it to throw a small car and also an upright piano, on fire and filled with cans of gasoline.
This isn’t it but it’s what I could find:

"Inappropriate Tools"
Anything is a hammer if you use it wrong enough.
Glad you noticed. Lol
Jason making the Star Wars quote made me wanna see you guys do a homemade gaffi stick!!
I like how there's just an entire episode dedicated to creating Eli 2.0, and then as soon as Anthony gets a try at him, he just dismembers it with ease in two seconds with one swing and two thrusts of a paddle with some washers embedded in it.
We may need more of Eli.
Eli 1.0 come here wee need a temporary replacement
@@armaslohemadu This time next year: Eli, go get Eli 5.0.
everytime you guys mention using eli 2.0 i feel im the target due to same name but glad i can picture myself being included in videos thanks for the great content all the time
"ahhh, that was my arm being messily amputated. Glad I was included!"
Sarcasm aside, I definitely understand how psychedelic it can be to hear your own name in stuff like this.
Just remember you're not as THICC as Elie 2.0.
hope your arms doing better
As much as I love Brian, I absolutely love when the three of you get together for an episode. I can't wait for the next one.
I found my name on the Founders Club plaque!!
They make slot cutting bits for routers you could probably use in a decent drill with a small jig to keep it at a specific depth. I know they're used for T-molding on arcade machines.
A biscuit cutter would probably work perfectly.
I will e=never not love Anthony being bad ass and super chill at the same time. Love that man!
"Just like the Aztecs used to do."- Jason 2022 (While mixing chemicals on the same Dixie paper plate that I'm eating reheated Chipotle off of)
Cory, I am both impressed and terrified watching you make the dado in the side of the wood.
Impressed, that using a circular saw you managed to do without blowing out one of the sides.
Terrified as that is one of the most janku set ups I've ever seen a tool used.
And I've used a cordless trim router upside down like a router table and ran Lincoln Logs I was making through by hand. Lol
I respect and fear you!
Love you Rogues!
If you don't have all the tools you better be good with the tools you got. 😉
@@cranfill truer words have not been spoken about tools! I think I found a new shop mantra! Thanks!
Cory: "We have a hammer" *grabs clamp*
Glad you noticed. Lol
I think what I would do is sandwich the washers between two paddles. I would also drill holes from one paddle to the other (preferably between every washer/hole), insert bolt, and tighten down with a nut. The handle would require sanding/wrapping for grip/comfort.
I think the holes drilled through the board would compromise the edge of the wood more than the bolts would strengthen the hold. Wood glue is stronger than wood, if you just use that the wood should break on the grain before the washers break out. The likelihood of the washers snapping off the edge of the wood instead of falling out is probably likely already high. You could also use a band for the edge like an old sawsall blade or something
This is like DIY Forged in Fire.
“It will KEAL!”
Yes finally an episode about my ancestors
Mesoamericans had these conflicts, that were like ritual wars (Guerras floridas, I have no Idea how are they called in English) solely with the purpose of capturing prisoners for their sacrifices, and depending on the prisoners hierarchy that's the sacrifice they used them for, regular folks were sacrificed and their blood used to feed their gods. Nobles, priests, and other high class people were used for ritual sacrifice on particular holidays, these people ended up beheaded and their heads piled in steaks outside the main temple, the rest of the body after the heart was removed, was eaten by the Mexica nobles and priests, yes ancient mesoamericans were CANNIBALS, so most of the weapons they used including the Macahuitl were not meant for killing because the prisoner had to be left alive to be sacrificed later on.
Flower wars, the Triple alliance (Tenochtitlan, Texcoco, Tlacopan) often held the wars against the city state of Tlaxcala.
Damn, colonialism was a moral good in Mexico
@@reizayin In the whole CONTINENT, here in Guatemala there was wars everywhere you looked at, the Kaqchiquel and the Quiché tribes were at each other's throats threatening with anihilating each other in a blink, some people's like the Xincas were already so decimated their population never recovered, down to the south the Andean people were also doing their own things, if you fell in these guys hands you were granted a horrible death, people were skinned to make drums they sacrificed children in mass sacrifices that went up to more than 200 kids all killed in mass, the Spaniards brought work animals, tought the indigenous tribes the use of the wheel, they built roads, universities, schools. There was death and they did horrible things indeed, like it happens with every conquered population the conquerer ends up abusing the conquered, but the benefits and the advancement they brought outweighs the horrors of it.
That would translate to Blossomed Wars, something like that.
@@reizayin this narrative is extremely dangerous
The circular saw use in this video might have not hurt Cory or the rest of the crew, but it sure hurt me
You're not alone there bud. Very risky
If you don't have all the tools you better be good with the tools you got. 😉
@@cranfill that's a fair point
I remember telling my son when he was little, that there were two kids of boys who got in trouble.
1. The boy that is doing the bad idea.
2. The boy who put the bad idea in his head.
Cory is definitely the latter of the two.
Godspeed to the hospital boys.
Love seeing Anthony and the crew just destroying stuff ;)
This is the most janky, high school woodwork, inappropriate use of tools I've seen in years
They did put up disclaimers though
Glad you liked it 😊 - Cory
@@ModernRogue he'd give me two thumbs up, but he doesn't have that many left
@@boredincan 👍👎
Who gave these guys swords :0...lol just thanks for all the hard work MR crew
You guys could make an whole other TH-cam channel on just making weapons like this.
😉
I love watching Donny Dust he's awesome
Yay, Anthony is back!
It's nice to see a guest that knows what he is doing
"I do have a hammer" pulls out a clamp 👀
Glad you noticed 😉
@@cranfill hey, my hammers typically look like wrenches or screwdrivers and I'm a professional mechanic, so I get it.
You can also use saw zaw blades or utility knife bade too , basically and thin metal you could shape or is already sharpened
When Corey 1st threw the weapon on the table, it looked like a jr. sized boat oar with tamborine jingles😆😆
I feel a biscuit joiner would have been a better tool for the job.
If any of you guys are insured against injury , I'd be shocked speechless
Luckily for them their insurance agency probably doesnt watch their youtube channel lol
For future reference and for those half a dozen or so who WILL try this, the safest way you could do this project is to use a tool called a Biscuit Joiner to cut your cavities, use smaller washers and socket them deep enough to be able to use both a glue like we see them use here, AND bolts and nuts to run through the holes in the washers to ensure a mechanical hold as well as a chemical one. Frankly washers are a bad pick metal wise you'd be better to use something that's got more of an edge to it since a bunch of small semi sharpened edges are gonna want to bounce more than stab or really slash. The Polynesian design is the best example which used shark teeth, a serrated pointed knife essentially that you could basically just aggressively wipe someone with and leave large gashes, teeth (as is mentioned by another commenter to be the point of the design), and a lot of damage to the person's body.
The fact that their vise is never clamped, but they never bring it over to the edge so they can spin the bar is environmental story telling at its finest
LOL I would have attached the washers with screws after sanding them. So basically I would have a weaponized tambourine. :D
Just use razor blades or sharpen stones man 😒
The moment they said "saw" I heard Doom music with the phrase "Rip and Tear!"
A note on obsidian. As Anthony said, it's very britle and in no way as strong as Minecraft would have you believe, however, it's very easy to make it ridiculously sharp, which is why it was used so often on weapons and ceremonial artifacts.
I really love these 'naughty boys playing with their deadly toys' episodes.
3:45 waiting for kickback... eh... how does it not kickback? this setup is so wobbly and cory is pulling back while the blade is rotating... he must be a wizard!
Thanks Modern Rogue for always showing me more ways how not to do things, and keeping me safe
Thank you.
Donny dust is such a wicked guy.
They actually went and unsecured the vice lmao
Safety first 😉
That's one spicy paddle!
First thing I did was giggle at 'hand wood'. Yep, totally mature 40 year old over here...
This is gonna be a good one
Cory is awesome!!
They made versions of these in Hawaii with shark teeth, I forget the name but it was awesome. (At least this is what a friend of mine told me, if anybody knows more about this please comment cuz I love learning new things)
How does Cory still have both of his hands?? 😆😆 Love ya work mate keep it up!
Always wanted to do something like this, but with razors or box cutter blades. I'd imagine you could use two boards sandwiched together, too, if you lack either power tools or Corey's thirst for self-dismemberment.
With one of those the game of cricket would never be the same again.
The pronunciation is pretty okay from my limited knowledge of Nahuatl, the main thing is just the the "tl" is a lateral affricate, not just the english sounds /t/ and /l/ smashed together. The "l" sound is the most different, but it's not too hard. The trick is to put your tongue in the position for an /l/ and then exhale like you're saying an /h/. This should produce a sound sorta halfway between /l/ and the english "sh" sound. Then you just put the /t/ sound immediately before it, while making sure not to take the tip of your tongue off the roof of your mouth. (It's actually easier to do it this way than to attempt to produce the two sounds completely seperately since your tongue doesn't have to move as much).
im just happy the vice isnt bolted down again lol
Well, I guess we now know what they were doing while Brian was off with his breakthrough case.
Saw another guy do this with razor blades, might be more effective but also a great way to reset the injury counter
Honestly I think Anthonys beer bottle idea sounds more modern rogue-y, and actually closer to actual thing?
Pro-tip: Sandwich the "paddle" between two 2X4s to provide a more level surface for the saw to ride along ... don't ask how I know.
That's awesome
9:43 Oh the old blame game 🤣
They had one of these on Deadliest Warrior back in the day and they did go through a horse's neck in like 3 swings if memory serves.
I'm loving the wepons episodes!!! How about a "panna dart" its philippino and realy cool n compact .
Or How about a pvc crossbow ?
The best part about the mortal kombat refrence is that kotal kahn uses this very type of weapon in mkx in one of his varriations
When I sit down to enjoy TH-cam videos when I see a commercial all right when I see a second commercial I suddenly get the urge to go and check my email or go on Facebook or Amazon.
I know it's a random video to put this on but really does anybody else feel the same way sometimes
Any ETA on the "Gentleman, Warrior, Scoundrel" shirt?
I had a similar idea a while back but using razor blades! A Mad Maxahuitl.
you mentioned it, now you HAVE TO do one with knapped beer bottle bottoms
They were not meant to kill. Just injure to bring you back and sacrifice 😂😂
you guys should really get some zombie anatomically correct ballistic gel targets for these sorts of episodes
Do a doomsday series like redoing your homemade gas masks with different ready material test them in a gauntlet challenge instead of standing in a meth lab for 2 mins lol. Run a gauntlet and test them in different situations, that'd be dope
You should have used something that still splinters like obsidian. One of the most gruesome parts of this weapon was that the bits of obsidian would end up being impeded in the wound making the cut continue to cut with movement causing the wound to be harder to close up and infect easier.
It seems like Anthony should've maybe done a running blow to get a better showing of the Hit-and-Run tactics, that'd be nice to see. Considering he just settled for one decisive blow which isn't a proper representation of how they'd fight, he seems to more rely on his HEMA training and going for slashing/stabbing motions instead of the rip-and-tear attacks he mentioned were commonly used by the Aztecs. Maybe a retry would be nice to see.
As soon as Corey said this next part is dangerous I knew exactly what he was talking about, and yes, that is VERY dangerous. Do not do that.
The modern version would be a pull saw. If I was to make it I'd use hacksaw or reciprocating saw blades. Love the beer bottle idea however wine bottles are usually better as you have a larger piece. I use the bottoms to nap arrowheads.
So do the outtakes have Anthony posing and then a raiding party armed with these go by? Cause if so you should add Brutality to the clip.
"inappropriate tools" Hosted by inappropriate tools
Story of my life lol
hu in nahuatl words is literally just the w sound. It comes from Spanish where they don't really use w at least traditionally, so they use the silent separator letter h and a very short 'u' to write that sound.
Love you guys and loved the video, but come on y'all, one day someone is gonna get seriously hurt if you keep misusing power tool like you did here. I was genuinely tense during the circular saw section. A lot of big 'no-nos' there. Perhaps there are more 'maker' content creators local to you that you could collab with. I loved the Evan & Katelyn crossover y'all did back in the day
I'm honestly surprised that this guy still has all of his fingers
Turns out I am a professional (as you can see by my fingers being attached after all this time) and this is for entertainment. Also I clearly say this is dangerous and to use proper tools..I grew up on a farm without many tools and we made do with what we had. Similar to our MR set. I am just glad I have the opportunity to make do with the tools I have around here and bring you entertaining content. Thanks for watching and commenting it means a lot to us. -Cory
@@ModernRogue I mean no disrespect, and you definitely have more experience with these tools than I do. But you've got to admit, even with the limited tools you've got, there were safer ways to do this (like securing the vice to the bench, which I know you even acknowledged). Just looking out for you mate. Keep up the good work though!
@@ModernRogue Personally I don’t care, choose to copy at your own risk right..: but the rationality of ‘I’ve always done it wrong and it hasn’t hurt me yet’ is just abit stupid
@@ModernRogue experience is no reason to flaunt safety, nor is this attitude the appropriate response to legitimate criticism and concern
I think the Polynesians used them but with shark teeth
they used a saw fishes nose as a weapon i believe or made weapons based off one but i could be wrong
Some used a saw fish rosturm and others used shark teeth
Now I got a new weekend project. 🤣🤣 It's just a flesh wound.
So when are ya'll making that fermented mare's milk episode?
Cory: "This part is a little more dangerous and y'all are very expensive. So I'm gonna do this part right quick. We're gonna use our trusty clamp"
Inserts wood into bench vise.
Jason: "Is that secured?"
Cory, while making eye contact and not missing a beat: "No"
This one exchange encapsulates so much of what I love about the Modern Rogues!
Hugs
I made one myself, I used glass from bottles as the edge which after 5 swings you lose all edge
It's hilarious to see makers who don't know how to A) make stuff or B) look up what stuff was made out of.
You guys should totally make a Fijian tokotia/tusken raider gaffi stick
Obsidian is much sharper when it's knapped from an obsidian core (like a cylindrical or cone shaped piece of obsidian). I can't imagine sharpening, the way it's done here, will get you anywhere close to that. If done with a good quality piece of obsidian then you can get obsidian blades with a sharpness of 30 angstroms, that is far sharper than a modern steel scalpel (you can find electron microscope comparisons online). A well made obsidian blade is obscenely sharp.
Of course, the big drawback is that they're essentially like super sharp blades of glass. They will cut through flesh like butter but will shatter or chip when hitting metal or bone. I'm not sure how it would do against a styrofoam dummy (i imagine not super well, like why you shouldn't use your really nice super sharp knives on cheese). A better comparison would be cutting an actual piece of meat.
Also, beware, there's a ton of misinformation about mesoamerican people, culture, and weapons floating around, especially in Mexico (due to many reasons, including but not limited to a history of racism against Indigenous people).
So it’s a more dangerous cricket bat?
Terry Shapperts Ancient warriors on this using real obsidian shows how dangerous this thing can be
So Why in the actual hell is he taking a cordless circ saw & moving it BACK & FORTH? Need I link a video on Kickback?
Don’t know why so many people are criticizing the saw use. Not the most dangerous thing I’ve seen a saw used for. He even put the paddle in a vice.
If you give the rogues swords they will eventually hurt themselves. Do not give the rogues swords
Unless the camera is rolling. Then give them swords... and stand well back.
Ballistic gel torso would be the thing to use in these test
Where does the name of the channel originate from? What is a modern rogue?
the government doesn't want you to know but this is just a small fragment axe
I want to see HUMAN SACRIFICE!!
Even a simulated human sacrifice will be great.
Finally a reason to pull out the old yaoi paddle.
This is pretty dope but I can't help but think that a hand-held router would've been safer and easier but probably not nearly as entertaining lol
