Homemade Weights
Finally got these done now that the weather has been warm enough to paint them outside. All winter I had been looking up the various ways to make homemade weights and ended up making a cheaper version but didn't like the handle so went back to the drawing board and made these.
Only cost ~$30 for the chain and hardware and paint, and about $210 CAD of steel. I thought I could get a few end pieces for cheap from a local steel supplier, but it didn't work out. Ended up figuring out what cold rolled round would end up being roughly the right weights at 6-8" tall. Should have went thicker and shorter because with the chain and handle they ended up being longer than 18". Definitely better than nothing and I'm very excited to get out there and toss these around.
