Home Made Kettlebells






Unless you were first exposed to kettlebells first hand, you
probably found out about them on the internet.  The problem was
whether dumbbells would suffice to try out the motions, and were
there any viable substitutes. And there was always the cost
issue.

Unless you know a welder, that proposition almost immediately runs to
pipe fittings, which are our first some homemade
kettlebells............

pipe fittings:

rattles a bit unless
shimmed.

a bit wide, so it's tricky on swings,

don't bother with
cleans

Now, swap out a reducing elbow on one end for the
T , and it's a bit narrower. However it's still 
tough on swings and cleans are still tricky....

A giant wire bail...

hmm..

the first "real" Kstack
prototype
.

Not homemade, but...

 the original Calvert Milo Kettlebell.

Very hard to find these days.....
