4:36 I love how you thought the cardboard box would hold that 35 lb kettlebell 😂 Thanks so much for this idea. I can stop using water jugs now THANKS 💗💗💗
Just a tip u could have tied a wire at ends of the pvc pipe so when the concrete dried it has a real grip same as rebar
Excellent... if you're worried about the handle coming out you can use fittings available at any good hardware store and connect the ends with two tees and a small piece of pvc. This would make an 'H' to be buried in the cement. 25 & 35 pounds, that's perfect!
Nice tutorial. A tip to keep the PVC from kinking is to tape one end, fill with sand or uncooked rice and tape the other end closed before baking. This will prevent kinking.
Won't the tape melt?
@@RichardGriffiths1 use a heat gun or diffused torch.
Rice or sand.
Thanks for the idea! I made 3 kb’s of different weights from scraps around the garage. I even loaded one ball with lead shot, from an old diving weight, to bump the weight up to 46lbs.
Looking for Ideas to make heavier than my 35lb. Thanks.
You’re about to blow up because of COVID lol
All them fake flakes yea. Fuck them tho.
I need a 45 and cant find one anywhere! Maybe I can throw in some ball bearings into the concrete mix? 🤔
Seriously
@@mikesiegel4039 Let me know, that's my question, how to make it heavier
blow up?? no one told me that was a symptom
best diy of a kettlebell i seen so far...great creativity.
Thank you hope it helps
is there any chance for the cement to slip of the handle while You swing it furiously up/down?
+ventci markov maybe if u put screws on tip inserted to ball it will grip better. just guessing never done before
+ventci markov no thats why you bend the pvc a lil past a u shape that will not slow it to slip out of the. Concrete I have been useing mine 4-5 days a week since I made these and have not had any problems thanks for watching
hey ,if anyone else trying to find out best kettlebell routine try Wiltapar Bell Expert Secrets (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now ) ? Ive heard some decent things about it and my work buddy got amazing results with it.
The CARONA kettlebell...Very inventive!
Wow. Great job. Loved the finishing touch of spray paint and numbering.
Hell yeah, you just made my home workouts sooooooo much better!!! Thank you!!! I searched up diy kettlebells just for the hell of it, and this is the first thing I seen! Thanks bro 🙏🏻💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Brilliant idea to put the pvc in the oven. I appreciate you sharing with us
short and sweet and to the point and you didn't drag out any unnecessary details. Probably one of the THE best DIY's I've seen overall from anyone on any video. Thank you for this video!
Wouldn't this be more expensive than buying a kettle bell?
5 min in the oven..perfect!..I just did that today. great tip.
Very nice! Thanks for sharing the process. Much appreciated.
Great DIY Kettlebell. I will try this absolutely!
Very nice. I was looking on how to get this done. Thank you very much.
Skip the glue--no real need for it. if you have to, get a bag of play sand to fill up your PVC pipe to keep it from kinking, or you can just use dry dirt with no significant rocks--just tamp it firm.
Skip the drill, use a garden trowel to mix and scoop the concrete mix. The consistency should be like THICK oatmeal.
Of course your sand/dirt filled 26" PVC pipe is duct taped at both ends. Wrap it in aluminum foil, place in 350 Farenheit oven for 5 minutes. While it's getting soft, fill your sink up with cold water, first placing in an institututional food can-- the old style big metal coffee cans also work. This will be your curvature mold for your handle.
You'll need a pair of oven mitts you don't mind getting wet, but with the sink ready and the handle ready, remove from oven and quickly dip it into the water and bend it right against the can, holding it just long enough until it hardens. The curve should be nigh well perfect. Let cool and remove the foil before placing into your concrete filled ball.
A just concrete filled basketball and a 1" dirt filled PVC pipe will make a just under 30 pound KB. To raise the weight, find pieces of steel, or better yet, lead. Be creative in your sources. I used the scrap railroad spikes and S-ties rusting away beside any railroad track to make a 45 pound KB.

Dude!! That totally rocks!! Great job!!
Great job. Gonna do this with my kids.
Really interesting tutorial. Thanks for posting!
Thanks. I plan on making a few of these using this video as the guide.
Damn genius. I already have a kettlebell but I’m gonna do this anyway.
well done sir. Clean DIY
Fantastic DIY champ... look forward to more great ideas... thank you
Great video men! Thanks you from Argentina!!
Best DIY on TH-cam so far
That's cool man good idea
This is dope. Looks fairly easy and straight forward to do. Going to try this.
I’m going to make this. Thanks for sharing
Now I find a good option to use my old basketballs. Thank you.
thats cool.. good job
Great idea Jason. Cheers geeza
in the "No excuses" category!
Solid project!
Clever. That's rad.
Man those are fantastic! Nice job
If you put play sand in the pvc prior to heating it and cover the ends with duct tape, it will hold its shape in the oven and heat evenly. After you have bent it to your shape, dump out the sand. It will form easily into almost any shape without creasing or collapsing.Great video. I’m going to try it!
Use other size balls such as volley balls or soccer balls (youth, high school, etc) for other weights. Also to produce a handled weight of approximately 17 lbs, you can simply fill a 5qt motor oil jug with concrete. Fill it about 1/3 with wet concrete, turn it upside down to let the handle fill with concrete, let it harden over night. Fill the remainder of the jug with concrete and let it set. Mix the concrete in the jug using approximately a 1 to 1 ratio of water to concrete. Use the top carrying handle of the jug to swing it. A jug filled with water weighs about 8 pounds. No heating in your oven required and the handles are solid concrete inside a plastic sheath. No worry about handles loosening.
Kelley Sauer Good ideas! I’ll try a few different sizes of balls and see how it turns out
Love it. Good stuff man!
This is a brilliant idea👍
this is a peace of craft my friend
Super cool
Well done man!.........Love it.
Put sand in a frying pan, then use a funnel to put the hot sand into the PVC and you won't get kinks in your PVC pipe. When I make these or Buff Blocks I like to fill My PVC with Concrete as well. Makes them heavier and more durable hand grips.
Love it dude
That's pretty dope 👍🏻
you are the BEST hats down !
Awwwsommme idea! I'm on it thanks!
So many haters and experts. You dont like it move on let the rest enjoy and congratulate
They look awsome
this is a great idea looking for old balls now to make my own im all about diy equipment and for the price you cant beat these kettle balls thanks
J Dubs Go hang out in any gym locker room and you will see lots of old balls! 😃
That was cool !
excelente video... saludos desde Chile...
Awesome!
Very cool!
Beauty!! Thanks
Great job mate.
Dude! Thank you so much for this video! Heading to buy basketballs now!!
Cool video
Esto es verdadera mente genial 😊
Huge props bro
nice idea, gracias....
Awesome
I loved the dog!
Gostei da ideia do forno. Obrigada! 🏋️
Very smart!
That’s pretty bad ass actually
Nice !!!!!!!!
Muy buena idea gracias saludos desde Mexico
Good job dude!
Thanks @Jason Ross. This design seems even superior to store-bought kettlebells because of its rubber coating: I can lift in the basement on the concrete floor without messing up the floor or the kettlebell. In the three years since you produced the video, have you had any issues with the handles slipping out? I wondered whether some heavy wire laced through two or three holes drilled through both ends of the handle might help guarantee a permanent anchor between the handle and the ball. I'd hate to have a 35 pound ball slip off the handle while I'm swinging it: That'd give one more image for my sons to post on social media. :)
Great instructions man. Plan on making these asap. Definitely cheaper than the $70 kettle bells at sports stores.
No it's not. This is at least a $100 kettlebell if you value your time at all.
@@CacheWeston also a proper kettlebell should last a lifetime, this one I doubt it.
@@bandostyle at this point it's probably about $300, and time is most certainly what most people have lkl
you could fill the handle too, making it heavier
Freaking awesome bro!
It looks the part but it isn’t gonna last 5 minutes. 35kg of concrete with a PVC pipe set in it will wriggle out in no time........hopefully when it’s not above ye head. Concrete will also crack too, it cracks in them plastic weights filled with concrete too it just isn’t effective. Really nice idea but I think somebody else suggested this, bang a bolt through and through the PVC, fix a nut either end and then set it in concrete. The horizontal metal fix will be way stronger than the vertical plastic pipe in concrete.
Thanks a lot! Saved me 2hundred bocks
Dude good video.
This is excellent. It's basically impossible to buy a kettle bell anywhere in Europe right now... And the gyms are closed! Home made is the only way to go
I was thinking about making something like this, but wasn't sure how to make the handle (didn't want to use rope). Only thing I'd change is I'd put a couple nails or screws in the PVC to make it bind to the concrete better
You Sir are a genius! Thanks for sharing.
A genius would go to the store and buy one. He is a maker, but in reality this kettlebell costs well over $100 if you value time at all
muchas gracias desde Valencia España
Bad Ass Bro i was on my way to Academy to buy me some Kettleballs ,Great video Bro, really thanxs
Great KBs man! Tried to order kettlebells online and everywhere is sold out, haha
Dope!!
Nice video :)
Dope
Anchor the pipe on both ends in the concrete with a bolt to make it sturdier
That handle won't stay in without a cross brace and the concrete will disintegrate from a drop. Try adding a cross brace to the handle and add fiberglass to the concrete mixture to hold
Lane Hagen fiberglass wont be enough..
@@ethrez concrete specific fibre glass strands would be. That shit is crazy strong
@Sledge Patrick please link me to where you can buy a 35lb kettlebell for $20. Nearly everywhere sells them for around $2/lb.
@Sledge Patrick in other words, you have no idea where to get iron kettlebells for the price he built them. Thank for confirming.
@RT S I guess being helpful is an unmanly trait, huh, lol
My uncle used to make concrete dumb bells and barbells. He'd get a kick out of these.
Cool
You can drill holes at the ends of the PVC pipe that goes inside the basketball and place a couple rods in a crossed pattern to make sure the ball won't come off
КЛАСС ! Браво !
за 20 баксов, у нас легче чугунную купить.
I've just crushed up some old storage heater bricks - density 8 vs concrete density 2.4 , hope mix is 3 x heavier
Volume of 8" sphere ~4.2 litres , concrete =10.1kg = 22lbs or maybe 3 times that with storage htr grit mix
Steel density 8 vs concrete 2.4 = similar if can add lots of steel , lead even heavier.
8 1/2 sphere volume 5.88 litres nearly 1 and 1/2 times weight of 8" ball 22lbs vs 33lbs concrete
9" ball = nearly 8.2 litres , very nearly double 8" ball
Oh , I did melt the pipe handle and sand ran onto the gas flame - hoover saved the oven
Thanks for the video - impossible to even buy these now unless 3x usual cost.
if you fill the pvc with sand as you heat and bend it will form a great handle with extra weight and extra compressive durabiluty. we do this at work somtimes to form nice bends but there is no point in removing the sand as wee do. even better use butelene pipe as this is tough as old boots.
Love using sand bags for hit training
Aye man thanks!
Can I put some dense steel (found in the junkyard or somewhere else) in the center of the ball (prefilling the ball with some concrete, then putting the steel inside, then finally filling the ball completly with some more concrete) to make it heavier than 15 kgs that you would normally get by filling the ball with the concrete only? will it still be solid that way?

Eh , I give it 6 months max before it explodes . Inexpensive versions exits that are impervious to damage ...
People who buy this stuff are rich
@@christiancamilootero8944, actually, people who spend wisely, and make their own kettlebells, are rich.
@@pacibaco Nah, I've had a set of 6 I made similar that have lasted almost daily use for a year now...
Wow! 😆 awesome I found you whole I was looking for a diy for a 14# soft shell medicine ball... got any of that? 😆
Thanks dude
