I get asked a lot about mechanical drawings for my TH-cam projects. Technical drawings including Shuriken are now available on my website. 😄 www.maker-b.com Tools I Use: maker-b.com/pages/tools-i-use
"As a mechanical engineering....", you should probably learn to proofread your comments before you post them. Also (just a footnote), Mechanical Engineer, being a title, is capitalized. Unless you meant to type "mechanical engineering STUDENT, in which case we're back to proofreading.
Most people don’t know the origin of the name “shuriken”. In ancient times a ninja came to a blacksmith and asked “Sir, can you make me a metallic star as a weapon?” To which the blacksmith replied “sure I can”; and the rest is history.
It's always something like this how things come about it seems like lol. We always wanna think it's some profound thing but it's not lol just someone who talks different trying to repeat what the other person said lol
I watched all your videos within two days and I am totally hooked. Everything is so clean and precise even though it's so tiny. I love it. Thank you so much for your fantastic videos.
My family is waiting for me to head out to go shopping. So I tell myself, it is 18 minutes, so I will watch like two or three and then head out. Needless to say, they had to wait... Fantastic work!
A shuriken (Japanese: 手裏剣; literally: "hand-hidden blade") is a Japanese concealed weapon that was used as a hidden dagger or metsubushi to distract or misdirect. They are also known as throwing stars, or ninja stars. Very nice!
I just finished up my apprentice machining school and am working towards that journeyman level, so I love watching videos like these. Getting ideas for projects and seeing the behind the scenes of how mechanisms work, like the Iris mechanisms here (which blow my mind every time I see one). As an added bonus your other videos are on making engines! (I'm halfway through a little sterling engine, myself). Consider me subscribed. Is the machine you're using a lathe or horizontal mill? That powered tailstock for index cutting/slotting was super rad, too.
Once I read the description, I was able to pay more attention to the machining. Based on the title, I thought we were going to see a functional weapon.
My dude, you're sick with it. I wish that I could have the brains to make ANY thing close to what you make EVERY TIME!!!!! all of your videos are AWSOME BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Really nice project, and great work making it, but I guess it doesn't work in "real life" it's more like a movie prop, right? 🤔 I mean, if you throw it like a real Shuriken, the retractable blades would be pushed back into the housing again when it hit the target, as there's no lock on them, or did I miss something?
I feel like it'd also be hard to get any spin on it due to the bearings on both sides. You'd lose some impact and possibly some spin-stabilization just throwing it like this.
There is a lock. The internal button locks into the retention plate, binding the twisting of the body. There are two pairs of notches in the retention plate so it can lock retracted and extended, and the outer button plate has to be pressed to switch it either direction.
Im new to this channel. I can honestly say your a G.O.A.T. i wish i had the same talent like yourself. I would love to have that to add in my collection of ninja stars
@@MakerB I only speak the truth. I really did enjoy it. I made a sword out of nails. I can forge weapons but I can't make them like you. Seeing that work of art and Prue craftsmanship is amazing. I just wish I could buy it but I'm poor and couldn't.
At last the craftsman has returned!! Welcome back man, great build! I'm super curious how that mechanism works. I understand the pins and blades, but I can't make out how pushing the brass center makes the blades snap out, and then pushing it and twisting pulls the blades back in and rearms it. Regardless, very fascinating build.
1) twisting the body pushes the pins through the tracks engraved in the blades, making the blades extend or retract 2) the torsion spring is set up to pull the blades into extension 3) the retention plate has two pairs of notches for the internal button The prongs on the internal button slot into those notches when the outer plates are not held in. Pressing the outer button plate pushes the internal button out of the retention plate, freeing the mechanism. The torsion spring then unfolds the blades. The mechanism then locks in extension when released. Pressing the outer plates again and twisting counteracts the torsion spring, pulling the blades in, then releasing the button plate locks it in retraction.
How cool is that?! I'd say somewhere well in to the range of pretty damn. Does the fact that this thing is almost entirely useless matter? Oh no. If anything, that just makes it cooler.

When making Springs and you want nice even spacing.
Just use the threads on a bolt as a guide! 👍
As a mechanical engineering I really can appreciate the precision and work which went into making this curio. Well done.
My pleasure :-)

Wow 👌 👏

So it's really just a complicated spinner.
Very relaxing to watch you work. Everything is so clean and precise. Nice job.
Thanks mate
@@MakerBi watched your engine video a few months ago and was bummed out that you didnt have any new videos, thanks for coming back
Wow 1 bolt and 1 shop filled with more machinery tools than most commercial shops.
And more skill than you probably have in your pinky finger.
That was mostly one mill
Such precision. It’s a pleasure watching you work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Deadliest fidget spinner yet, I love it.
The fact you used stones to sharpen each individual blade just shows how much love you put into your work. 🤙
That part was fake. He didn't actually sharpen them.
The attention to detail, skill, and knowledge is just amazing
Here, even a watchmaker would nod in appreciation, beautiful work.
nice to see you back ...
TH-cam was less creative when you were gone
Very pleased to hear that. Thanks!
Man, a lot of makers I think "I could probably pull that off with the right tools. Not a chance with this. Amazing and beautiful.
Man, I had no idea companies make ball bearings that small! Very neat.
you should see my dental drill. It spins at 500,000 RPM
I've seen useless dumb stuffs, but man this one needs to register for the Guinness record or something
Yeah, you're right, I'd love to be able to make one of these as well ❤
You seem like a super cool guy who probably has lots of friends and isn’t a complete drag to be around 😎👍
Where is you're super entertaining video? Are you going to be ok?
And yet you still felt compelled to watch it.
I liked the comment because it’s really really funny lol😂
I watched all your videos within two days and I am totally hooked.

Glad you like them!
So easy to build... If only I had the time, those tools and your ability... Piece of cake 😅
In all seriousness, this was impressive!! Congrats!
Well Done Bro🙂
The amount of precision on this hurts my head but I still want one....
Great to see ya again! Hella cool star. 💪
Nice to see you again too✌️
wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻😍 .. the bearings make me laugh 😅😅
Finally a new video after one year! Please don't disappear again for so long time.
The man makes a spring like he is cutting bread. Astonishing
That is craftsmanship at its absolute finest.
Phenomenal work and tolerances..!!
My family is waiting for me to head out to go shopping. So I tell myself, it is 18 minutes, so I will watch like two or three and then head out. Needless to say, they had to wait... Fantastic work!
Making the gas engine was so cool I would love to see that again
Nice touch with he rotary tool! That was one of the greatest things ever invented in my opinion
An imaginative artisan. Thank you for your talented display.
That is so cool! Got to be careful not to put that in your pocket. 😨
Great video.
I was getting increasingly worried. It's good to see you back.
I'm sorry for making you worry. Good to see you again!
Well,
There goes 20 minutes that I will never get back.
Not as if your 20 minutes is of any significance.
He's back!

Bloody beautiful. I began to dream about variations at the finish. Childish moment.
Вот это точность; на такую работу смотреть приятно! Молодец!!!!!!!!

It's a lathe with a rotary that I attached. Good luck with your engine project!
@@MakerB Shuriken should be thrown
finally you're back with bolt 😇
I work wood. Your level of skill and precision dumfounds me. Beautiful video. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment :-)
Babe wake up, Maker B posted

Basically it was just a spinner.🤣🤣
This is one of the best videos I have ever seen
Great build. Thank you for sharing the different techniques. 😊😊
❤ Very special project. The mechanism working good. Great to see you back mate ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
That is really cool how you made that.
dark owl : that's impossible how did you do it
Great build! Really satisfying and fascinating video.
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me! You ROCK!
Omg, you're back!!! How are you, and where have you been? :)
I've been busy focusing on other projects for a while. Glad to see you again😀
@@MakerB I thought Covid-19 had gotten you mate. Glad you're still making videos. Can't wait to see what's next in store for us on your channel! :)
Beautifully, elegantly machined and assembled. Nice work.
This is stunning..pure art sir!!
Excellent travail. Tres impressionnant. Tout simplement splendixe
That has to be the most dangerous fidget spinners ever made haha
Oh yeah.. you remembered finally having a youtube channel..
I love it. Its like the fidget spinner of death.
Extreme precision and fresh coffee.... good way to start the day
Thanks for sharing
Cheers
Bro, I just found out your channel yesterday. You are an artist!!
Bro he made this just for our entertainment, and apart from his project you are not forced to watch.
I have no idea what that is, but that is some beautiful machining. Fantastic video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Just amazing work. Thank you for sharing it!
Its so cool
It is crazy to make a mechanism that comes out when you press the button
Yeah, it's a pretty interesting mechanism :)
Batman is one the way to collect it.
My dude, you're sick with it. I wish that I could have the brains to make ANY thing close to what you make EVERY TIME!!!!! all of your videos are AWSOME BRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Absolutely incredible engineering, and a beautiful finished piece. Its a joy to watch your videos.👍😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀

Bravo si vede che te ne intendi di meccanica di precisione bel oggettino anti stress 👍👍
That Moment he build a screw out of a screw killed me😅👍
Haha. A razor sharp fidget spinner. That's a good idea.
im enjoy watching it. thank you.❤
until we meet again next year guys 😂

why did you use a bolt and not just a rod?
all the time and energy to create the bolt just wasted
That's pretty damn slick brother 🤘

You should make watches.
Amazing precision and gorgeous outcome. 😊
Thank you 😀
One of the coolest thing I have ever seen, just not sure what’s that for….
Great work, beautiful artistic work. Love it ❤️
It's for when you find yourself surrounded by the ninjitsu, and ya got to slice your way out

In fact a Brilliant Precision Work
How cool is that?! I'd say somewhere well in to the range of pretty damn. Does the fact that this thing is almost entirely useless matter? Oh no. If anything, that just makes it cooler.
The most dangerous spinner in the world xD
WITH SO MANY MACHINES, YOU COULD MAKE A TRACTOR OUT OF A PIN
I'm only dissapointed that he didn't throw it 😩 man made a sharp ass ninja star but at least it's pretty 😂🔥
Wow! The best one!
It's like a deadly little fidget spinner.
Absolutely fantastic. You've elevated its value tenfold.👍👍
Useless, maybe but amazing to watch the precision and thought that went into it. Thanks
Pure genius.
Amazing work
Занятная штучка. Прекрасно исполнено!
Magnificent !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are so many precise parts to this, it's brilliant! It has me wondering... can you turn a stainless steel bolt into a watch? 🤔
Maybe someday?😅
