This is how I made an automatic Shuriken(Ninja Star) fidget spinner from a stainless steel bolt.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

I get asked a lot about mechanical drawings for my KZhead 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
When making Springs and you want nice even spacing. Just use the threads on a bolt as a guide! 👍
"In the next episode, I turn all the objects I've made, back into Bolts." 🤯
Do it now!
As a mechanical engineering I really can appreciate the precision and work which went into making this curio. Well done.
My pleasure :-)
"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.
@@Rotorhead1651There’s no need to be a dickhead. It’s a KZhead comment, not a literature test.

Alternate title: I have a lathe, a camera and way too much free time.
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.
It's a lathe with a rotary that I attached. Good luck with your engine project!
@@MakerB Shuriken should be thrown
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
Very very good machining. Loved to see that precision and clean work.
An imaginative artisan. Thank you for your talented display.
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
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.
Glad you like them!
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.
The attention to detail, skill, and knowledge is just amazing
Great build. Thank you for sharing the different techniques. 😊😊
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!
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.
XD
Great to see ya again! Hella cool star. 💪
Nice to see you again too✌️
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!
This is stunning..pure art sir!!
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!
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.
wonderful 👏🏻👏🏻😍 .. the bearings make me laugh 😅😅
Bloody beautiful. I began to dream about variations at the finish. Childish moment.
Such precision. It’s a pleasure watching you work.
Glad you enjoyed it!
That is so cool! Got to be careful not to put that in your pocket. 😨 Great video.
Deadliest fidget spinner yet, I love it.
Just amazing work. Thank you for sharing it!
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
This seems to be done in the same style of "Johnny Q90" absolutely enjoyable to watch! I just wish you uploaded more often :-)
That is craftsmanship at its absolute finest. Phenomenal work and tolerances..!!
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.
Basically it was just a spinner.🤣🤣
Finally a new video after one year! Please don't disappear again for so long time.
That has to be the most dangerous fidget spinners ever made haha
Beautifully, elegantly machined and assembled. Nice work.
Here, even a watchmaker would nod in appreciation, beautiful work.
Brilliant craftsmanship, great to watch such a skill 👏
Thanks!
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.
I love it. Its like the fidget spinner of death.
nice to see you back ... KZhead was less creative when you were gone
Very pleased to hear that. Thanks!
Great build! Really satisfying and fascinating video.
The fine metal processing is impressive.
Muito bom adorei isso se eu encontrasse a venda eu compraria. Parabéns 👏👏👏
Belle mécanique de précision. Chapeau l artiste😊
He's back!
❤ Very special project. The mechanism working good. Great to see you back mate ❤
Thank you! Cheers!
You should make watches. Amazing precision and gorgeous outcome. 😊
Thank you 😀
Extreme precision and fresh coffee.... good way to start the day Thanks for sharing Cheers
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
Absolutely incredible engineering, and a beautiful finished piece. Its a joy to watch your videos.👍😊
Glad you enjoyed it! 😀
are their any plans or designs for this, looks amazing
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
That's quite a compliment! Glad you enjoyed it.
@@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.
He can make a nuclear bomb and we will just sit here watching and relaxed.
I haven't seen your other videos so it might be obvious to others. Is there a reason you didn't turn and thread your screws in the same setup? It seems like the threading collet would have worked for the turning part and increased accuracy, you could even have turned those features with the threading insert to remove any tool changes.
Where can I pick up tools like this? They could come in handy if I wanted to do simple home projects.
Very very good work. You did it very accurately and precisely. The mechanics are also just super cool. I am always amazed what you can make today so everything. How did you come up with this great idea? The part could almost also be incorporated into a machete knife e.g. Leatherman. Would certainly be cool. Thank you for this tutorial. I'm looking forward to your next cool idea. Maybe you can make a small gasoline lighter?
I like that idea. Will add it to the queue.
WITH SO MANY MACHINES, YOU COULD MAKE A TRACTOR OUT OF A PIN
that was an awesome watch. however, I found it amusing that you didn't have enough material in your screw to make a screw 🤣
The man makes a spring like he is cutting bread. Astonishing
Nice fidget spinner shuriken lookalike. Proof is in the throwing. What is the balance like?
You’re videos are too good! And too few in between😂 we want more of your craft please ❤
*you're
@@1337fraggzb00N "Your", in both cases.
@andrejohnson6731 YOU want more.....unless you've got a mouse in your pocket or are part of some Machinist groupie cult.
@@Rotorhead1651 *y'uoer
I'm only dissapointed that he didn't throw it 😩 man made a sharp ass ninja star but at least it's pretty 😂🔥
finally you're back with bolt 😇
It's like a deadly little fidget spinner.
The amount of precision on this hurts my head but I still want one....
That is an amazing project! I’m just confused about the blades. Is it meant to cut? How do you not cut your fingers?
Haha. A razor sharp fidget spinner. That's a good idea.
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sp you in fact, just made a very complicated and dangerous fidget spinner.... good job.
I love the look and the spring action, as well as the fidget spinner capability. I'm not sure why it needed to have sharpened blades. Are you in such situations that you need to employ such a weapon against others?
Вот это точность; на такую работу смотреть приятно! Молодец!!!!!!!!
You’re a magician with that lathe!
It's impossible to stop watching. Looks like a magic video. Thanks for your job, man.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Excellent travail. Tres impressionnant. Tout simplement splendixe
That was awesome !
What was the white stone you used on the wet stone? Great to watch a talented machinist, work! You are a very creative and talented individual!
It is a flattening stone which typically used to level or flatten the surface of a sharpening stone.
Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! Cheers!
In fact a Brilliant Precision Work
Looks good, but is it functional? Kinda thick for the blade size
It's so cool. It is a symbol of mecha.
beautifully done👌 thanks for sharing
That Moment he build a screw out of a screw killed me😅👍
Making the gas engine was so cool I would love to see that again
This was super cool. I’d love to know and see if you could make one with zero tolerance or as close as possible so that it looked like just a solid piece metal until the blades pop out
You make beautiful surfaces with these other metals. Fine work on your lathe! Very nice.
Shuriken/fidget spinner. Nice! 👍🏻
What type of lathe are you using? I would like to know the exact one. Thank you.
Usted si que sabe señor !!! 👍🏽
excelent ! congratulations!
Thank you! Cheers!
very cool object! ❤
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.
Very nice work! I'm curious, what was the white block you rubbed on the whetstone?
It is a flattening stone that is specifically intended for the repair and maintenance of water stones.
I have no idea what that is, but that is some beautiful machining. Fantastic video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Занятная штучка. Прекрасно исполнено!
Saludos, un excelente trabajo
Wow! The best one!
Прекрасная работа! Молодец!!!
Absolutely amazing to watch!!!!!
This is so cool. A great project.
Thank you very much for taking the time to answer me! You ROCK!
That is a work of ART WOW Bloody Amazing work. Would you consider selling one ?
Glad you liked it. Sorry, but my creations are one of a kind and not for sale
@@MakerB thats ashame the workmanship is amazing
