I just wanted to share this with any Diablo 2 fans or simply fans of awesome weaponry in general.
My Uncle and I used to play D2 quite a bit, and since he started his new night shift job, he has had a ton of free time (works in a huge shop at the railroad, little happens at night). He has always been very talented with carvings, art, and making weird but awesome things in general. Tonight he surprised me with his latest creation, a battle-ready completely hand made flail (every spike, even the wood was hand carved, grinded, and/or welded). He also hammered in the runes to Tal Rasha's tomb using hand formed copper imbedded in the wood handle. Anyway, on to the pics.

lol..yea, that would have been better, he always played legit (no trading) so doubt he had even heard of HotO before
|
Despite the fact that I hate Flails, I'll admit that's pretty bad ass.
+ Show Spoiler +No logical reasoning behind my hate for Flails, I just never liked them in games
|
Ho-leeee crap! I wish my uncle was that awesome!
|
wow your uncle is awesome!
|
What an awesome present. Now you'll have a weapon to defend yourself when the undead rises.

i got it off jsp a few years ago i just got a warning and they took it down -_-

Haha, the first thought that came to mind (and everyone elses apparently) is that it was a HotO. Rune that shit up.
Anyhow, this is awesome. Lurve me some D2. <3
|
|
|
My first thought was CtA because I remember HotO being 4 runes long.
|
I would get naked and go berserk all around the house with that thing, if I were you!
|
So sick! Remind me never to try to rob your house.
|
|
|
Great stuff, have you tried it out yet?
|
Did you Howl or Shout when you got it?
|
|
|
Looks cool! Are you a paladin or a sorceress? 
|
Very nice present
|
my uncle and I play D2 as well
Except he doesn't carve 
|
Jesus, if I had that I'd be sending myself to the emergency ward very quickly.
|
Awesome present, now you have to make a video of how you smash a bunch of watermelons with it and post it here!
|
That's a nice flail you got there! Awesome work.
|
wow that's really amazing. you're lucky your uncle is awesome
|
HoTo? now i want to see you teleport
|
This is awesome! The one who crafted this is really talented!
|
Dude that is sooooooooooo cool. Mad props to your uncle, that's amazing.
|
That's one of the coolest Xmas presents i've ever seen.
TOtez jelly! Don't murder anybody...
|
Wow that is spiffy and evil looking.
Be sure to go to the next comic/gamescon you can with that on your hip!
|

|
|
|

|

or at least the key to a demon infested labyrinth with way too many rooms.
|
That is even more awesome than I expected.
Congrats. Merry Christmas!
|
Very cool, i have a two handed greatsword on my office wall myself but this is something else
|
|
|
If someone attacks you with a shield he better be ready!
Awesome stuff
|

|
|
|
Your uncle is quite talented, and that is a very cool gift. You are very lucky, and you should cherish that for a long time.

Where's your hearthstone at bro? lol : ) But really that is freakin sick!!!!!
|

|
That's a beautiful gift, I am so envious!
|
/jealous
A question though: is it legal to keep that thing (as a weapon)?
Once upon a time I made a 4 inch sword during shop class (metalworking) in high school and "almost" got expelled (department head decided to just turn a blind eye but told me if the principle found out I would be in serious trouble).

I wish I had a Schaeffers Hammer
