I just figured out how to make homemade kettlebells! I'll prolly figure out / get around to making a vid in the next year. Concrete, baby. Can't control the weight, tho. But I like the badass, wild untamed aspect.
That thing looks like it would unscrew as you were swinging or snatching. I'd be careful with that thing, you don't want a bunch of iron plates hitting your head.
lol a whole hell of a lot less involved than mine was! I'll put up a vid when it's finished to show all the dang trouble I went through :) Sturdy looking kettlebell mate!
this guy's looks nice and clean but not too heavy. I'm trying to build (approx.) 55lb. and a 75lb. I've seen people build them with pouring cement and stuff but if you've got a method that works (without the cement) i'd like to hear it. thanks
Kettlebells made cost more than you like but they last forever and when used correctly -RKC- elimates the need for any other piece of equipment or gym membership.
let's see you do a snatch with that thing. I'd assume a hand amputation would be the result. You can very easily buy KBs on email... even in Hawaii, I shipped a 45 lb in flat rate for less than $70 total. they have good resale value too.
Maybe in Hawaii, but how about in Finland? I need 2x35lb and 2x45lb kettlebell and my wife need 2x15lb and 2x20lb kettlebell? In Finland this cost 600-700$ plus S&H. But now it's cost only 10$
Yo thats fuckin awsome man, i cought it on RT. Good work i can't weld so i think i'm stuck. If i made one with out welding materials i'd use a sand bag and a belt maybe.
If you can't weld yourself you can always take it down to a metal fabrication shop or anywhere they do welding. It'd only cost you a couple of bucks to have someone else weld it. Even with that cost... still way, way below the cost of a commercial kettle bell. You could simply look in the phonebook to find a shop that could weld it up in short order.
Where i can buy it? :)

@TheNUTTY117 outside US KBs are ABSURDELY expensive! here in Brazil a single 50lbs KB costs over $150 dollars (more than 250 local currency)

Probably excellent for curling, pressing, or rowing but possibly dangerous snatching and other power moves. Still an intriguing idea.

Perhaps that is why his name is what it is at the beginning of the vid :)

I agree. Maybe some kind of lock to keep it in place would be recommendable.

After I build mine and get to tweaking with the logistics I'll see if I can brainstorm something up. Mine is going to be cement tho.

It looks good, but let's have some description of the parts and where to get them.

To make that is simple
one 8 inch by 1 inch bolt, one 1 inch bolt.
two 8inch rods, one 8 inch pipe, and two washers. some welder craftmanship and your set.
