Hi guys,
I've got a pair of octagonal oaken sticks, 12" long. I decide to make a pair of nunchaku out of them. They were actually square table legs at one time. Because of this, there was a nut that I took out of each. This made an ideal hole for the chain.
So, I put an eyelet in each, placed a keychain ring on each eyelet, and connected the chain to the rings.
Because of this it looks a bit different. So, do you think if I pulled em out to show you, you'd think they were nunchaku, or two sticks with eyelets and keychain rings?

Nunchaku come in many different forms. The only limit is 2 sticks of some type with a flexible connection. There have probably been millions of home made nunchaku with no two being exactly the same.

The main connection are chain, cord or horse hair but I think the most popular are chain.

Sure! Nunchaku are nunchaku. However, the materials you used sound somewhat heavy for a keychain. I would be very careful at first so that the nunchaku do not seperate (this is the largest danger of nunchaku, besides hitting yourself in the head) and fly off. After that, though, you should be good to go!
