Magazine: The Cheapskate's John Spiral - Street Violence is a recipe magazine about brutal homemade clubs. It teaches seven ways to bolt scrap onto a bat, plank or handle.
Reading it teaches Make Rake-Head-Spiked Weapon, Make Sawblade Wooden Bat, Sheet Metal-Reinforce Weapon, Make Plank with Saw, Make Bucket Maul, Make Kettle Maul and Make Brake Disc Weapon.
Most of the recipes belong to Carpentry, and the two mauls to Maintenance. The magazine turns up mostly in army surplus stores and late game survivor safehouses.
Uses
Every recipe keeps a wrench and a metal drill, and each one uses Nuts and Bolts.
Make Plank with Saw is the easiest at Carpentry level 3. It fixes a Wood Saw to a Plank with Screws. The result is a Plank with Saw.
Make Rake-Head-Spiked Weapon and Sheet Metal-Reinforce Weapon need Carpentry level 4. The first fixes a Rake Head to a Baseball Bat, Large Handle or Short Bat with two Leather Strips. The second plates a Baseball Bat or Large Branch with two Steel Sheet - Small, Sheet Metal Scrap or Aluminum Scrap and four Screws.
Make Sawblade Wooden Bat and Make Brake Disc Weapon need Carpentry level 5. One adds a Circular Sawblade to a bat or Field Hockey Stick. The other adds a brake disc to a Large Branch, Large Handle or Plank.
The two mauls belong to Maintenance. Make Kettle Maul needs level 4 and uses a Kettle with Rope. Make Bucket Maul needs level 5 and uses a metal bucket. Both take a Large Handle, Steel Rod or Iron Pipe and two units of concrete.
Make Plank with Saw is also taught by Magazine: Revolting Peasants.
Reading the magazine also eases boredom and stress. A read copy still has a use as padding. Make Magazine Body Armor and Make Magazine Limb Armor accept any magazine as crude armour.

Locations
Army surplus shelves are the best fixed place, with a fair chance. Late game survivor safehouses come close, in boxes, crates, counters and metal shelves. Mid game safehouses give about half those odds. Drug shacks and drug labs hold one now and then. Early safehouses turn one up less often.
