Athletes use punching bags to increase strength and endurance.People who practice martial arts or boxing use them to perfect their technique.punching bags are expensive, and this can be problematic for someone training on a budget.The solution to this problem is to make your own punching bag.
Step 1: The length of the pipe is 3 feet (0.91) m.
Measure the pipe and draw a line.A hacksaw or a pipe cutter can be used to cut the pipe.
Step 2: There are two holes at each end of the pipe.
The base will be attached with one set of holes.The bag will be hung from the other set of holes.
Step 3: You should create your base.
Take a look at the outline of where you will be cutting.The bottom of a bucket can be traced.A 10” diameter circle can be cut with a saw.Then cut out the circle from the plywood.
Step 4: Attach the plywood to the pipe.
Place the plywood inside of the pipe so that the holes are even.The plywood needs to be secured with screws through the holes.
Step 5: Attach the piece of plywood to the pipe.
The 10-inch piece should be on the bottom of the pipe.Attach the 10-inch and 4-inch pieces of plywood with screws.
Step 6: The carpet should be brought to size with a box cutter.
The carpet should match the size of the pipe.You want to leave four inches of pipe at the top of the punching bag so that the holes you drilled are not visible.
Step 7: The carpet padding should be wrapped around the pipe.
Slowly roll the pipe until the carpet padding is completely wrapped around it.Once the padding is on the pipe, tape the loose edge of the carpet using duct tape.You want the bag to be solid when you punch it, so make sure you wrap the pipe tightly.
Step 8: Place duct tape over the carpet padding.
Attach a piece of tape to the closest carpet by taking a roll of duct tape.Roll the tape around the carpet padding.If you overlap as you tape, you have very tight layers.You will use tape to cover the carpet padding that runs the length of the pipe.Don't worry about covering the top of the carpet, just apply as much tape as you can.
Step 9: There are two exposed holes on top of the pipe.
Make sure both ends of the rope are the same length.
Step 10: The bag should be hung.
Find out where you want to put the bag.If you hang the bag from the ceiling, be sure to hang it from a stud so that it doesn't fall and hurt you.
Step 11: You can combine three 2 in.
x 4 in.8 in.There are boards.The punching bag will be made up of these boards.To create the shape you need, place two boards on top of each other and then place the remaining board along their 2-inch sides.Glue the boards together.The glue should be run along the lengths of the boards.Attach them together once they are glue.
Step 12: Drive nails into the boards.
They can help the board stay in the concrete mix if they stick out.
Step 13: Attach the plywood to the boards.
Attach the plywood to the boards.The plywood needs to be large enough to support the three boards.
Step 14: The post should be set up overnight.
Before moving on to the next steps, you want the glue to dry completely.
Step 15: There are two tires on top of each other
They need to be evenly stacked.Your base will be formed by the tires.
Step 16: The wheelbarrow will hold the concrete mix.
You can fill the inside of the tires with four bags of concrete.The wheelbarrow has a bag of concrete inside it.Use a hoe to open the bag.Remove the bag after pouring out the mix.A wheelbarrow makes it easy to mix concrete.The hoe can be used with a shovel or spade.
Step 17: Water can be added to the concrete.
The wheelbarrow has concrete on one side and water on the other.You can find the amount of water by reading the bag of the concrete mix.Adding too much can make the mix useless.If you need to add more to the mix, make sure to keep about 4 cups of water nearby.
Step 18: Slowly mix the concrete.
Slowly mix the concrete into the water with a hoe.When the mix is completely wet, keep mixing.There is a pile of wet mix on the side of the wheelbarrow.
Step 19: The concrete mix should be added to the tires.
Place the post inside of the tires and fill them with concrete to make sure there are no empty spaces.Make sure the post is centered in the tires while the concrete is still wet.The concrete should be smooth.Gloves and safety goggles are required for pouring and maneuvering concrete.The concrete mix can cause burns.
Step 20: The concrete can dry if the stand is set for two days.
The post will be even if you move on to the next steps because the concrete is still wet.The base will become very heavy once the mix is dry.Roll the stand using the tires if you angle the post down.
Step 21: Cut the old mattress in half.
The padding of the punching bag will be provided by the futon mattress.Put the post down.Attach the cut mattress to the post with duct tape.Wrap the rest of the mattress around the post.Put duct tape on the loose end of the mattress.The punching bag has structure if the mattress is wrapped tight.If you don't want to buy a new mattress, look for one in your local newspaper or online.
Step 22: Put duct tape on the mattress.
Wrap the exposed area with duct tape after the mattress is secured.If you overlap as you tape, you have very tight layers.The exposed mattress runs the length of the post.This will make the mattress suitable for punching.
Step 23: Put a foam pad under the tires.
The bag will be quieter when you hit it.
