Idea for the wood turners..

That will be classed as a ladies one then , looking good. Just similar to making skittles I guess.

well i used the same timber.

 

it's more like making a baseball bat actually. i've done so many skittles i can do them in about 7-8 min, this took longer as the shape didn't look right till i finished it.

Do you get batteries with it ?

 

i'll turn you some wooden duracells if you like and drill a hole for them to go in.

 

they don't work otherwise.

its funny, I thought that would be too light but I was playing around with an iron bar about the same length earlier and I could feel the stretching in my bad elbow, and that bar only weighs a pound and a half! So I'll take the ladies set...

 

I think a heavier set at 2' long and 6" diameter would be plenty for the swinging type excersises...

Thats perfect! another one the same and thats the small ones done. The larger ones could be 2' long and they still wouldn't hit the floor despite my monkey arms. I found some nice big lumps of burry elm in the yard, There's also a massive lump of oak that was dead standing when we felled it, it might be dry ish, there's no shake in it maybe the big ones could be made out of that, I could rough out some 6" square lumps with a chainsaw??

 

let me rummage through my stock first as i do have some hefty lumps kicking about. if i can't find any matching bits then you can cut your own timber.

 

 

anyone know what sort of price these things go for?

 

i can only find american websites that sell them.

Ladies club, 440mm x 83mm 2lbs (0.9kg)

Standard club 495mm x 83mm 2.2lbs (1kg)

Large club 520mm x 110mm 3.5lbs (1.5kg)

 

Heavy are same size but with added weight 7lbs (3kg), then you have your bespoke.
