I've worked out on traditional heavy bags th-cam.com/users/postUgkxp9-sf95nqfjey-uyzxUzQ7m9MXRPK1BE a spherical stuffed "wrecking ball" bag, and now this thing. What I like about it is that it has the heft to stay largely in place so I'm not chasing it around. It's tall enough to allow for headshots and body shots, but it's short enough to give an uppercut somewhere to land. I'm very happy so far. Filling it was a bit of a cluster. For top-offs, I've learned that you can screw the supplied nozzle onto any basic plastic water bottle. I can't speak to durability as I've only had it a week.
This design is awesome! It will be perfect for boxing in my small rental space, and be portable as well. It solves all the problems of a hanging heavy bag or commercial stand bag with the awkward sand-filled base. 🥊💛🥊
Wow! I didn't even think of pool noodles? I sure hope it's not too late in the season to get them? Also never heard of that black wrap b4. Might b able to find it or I may just use contractor trash bags? I have this circle rock with a hold in it. Least I think I do? Lol. I'm planning on using that for a bace it I can cuz it's heavy but, not sure how it would stay in place bcuz it's pretty short? Maybe use that as the weight? Thanks again! An God bless!
Instead of a plastic wrap, I think I'd go with Burlap, or a tough material that would be more durable. And for the Pole---I would go a bit of a Fancier route; I would use a Galvanized steel rod, incorporating one of those 'Springs' you can buy at the Hardware stores. Then I would attach the Spring to the Pole using my innovation, ingenuity, and thereby apply the Same to attach Pole and Spring to the Base.
Looks great. Fantastic solution. Can you show how best to hang this say from a ceiling that can't take much weight eg shed etc. This would be ideal where you can't hang a heavy bag but still need something durable to punch and work with. TIA
This bag is probably not ideal for hanging and I can’t hang anything in my place. However this week I’m making a wall punching bag. That may be more suitable for you. Keep an eye out for my next video 👌
@@Kewlus Excellent cheers for update. Will look out for that next video for wall punching bag. Cheers Again. Stay Safe all the best for 2021 from Scotland.
I made a weights bench from scrap hard wood my nephew brings home. Brackets were like $14, painted it black and covered it with a black rubber like mat I got at Bunnings for $4 a roll. I made it after pricing weights benches. Farking outrageous. Could buy a nice sofa for what they ask for a decent bench. If you want to be robbed price foam rubber at Clark Rubber. 1 metre long length bench width they wanted $68. Bench cost me like $30.......
My wife watched this video just before our divorce and she spray painted me red, covered me in clingfilm, and hung me by arms from the ceiling fan...I should’ve read the warning signs then that it was over..
How many noodles do you need to buy for this project? And what was the name of the bag you bought for around 5.00 bucks you mentioned that you wrapped around it? Thanks
Most of the details are here: www.fighterdiy.com/2020/06/diy-free-standing-punching-bag.html. I used 13 noodles and a rain pipe bag, but you could use just a roll of black plastic bags
where I am living I can't order the Pool noodle and couldn't find Here in stores same diameter and size you used in Vedio I found small size and thin one is it gonna work?
Why don't you make a base out of concrete. A bag of ready mix is only a few bucks. Use a washing bucket, those broad buckets that are about 6 inches tall. You can also make a bag out of an old roll of carpet or a large rug. Or use the rug as the core and pool noodles around it.
I actually have made one from concrete, mixing cement and sand and using a plant saucer for the mould. I found it was too messy to use indoors and I would need to paint it to stop the concrete from chipping away. All in all it actually worked out cheaper (and far better quality) just to buy a concrete umbrella stand from Bunnings! What I like about these DIY bases that I made from the MDF boards is that they are super easy to put away. The water containers are easy to pick up and move around - and I can use them for weight training. Concrete bases are 20kg dead weight and are a real pain in the butt to move.
@@Kewlus My base in a temporary fencing stand which is concrete coated in plastic. I have 2, the other one is weighing down my heavy bag stand. Building site a few blocks down has left about a dozen, fence gone but they left the stands LOL.
Hey mate, been following your video, how well does it stand up to kicks? Would love to see a build that was suitably strong for both kicks & punches, if you have any ideas in the old think tank. I was eyeing off an old desk chair base with wheels the other day... Keep it up.
Thanks mate 🤙. I’m not that good at kicking these days but this one stands up ok because it’s able too absorb the shock due to the flex in the mast. I recon you should make it from waist height up so that it could flex more easily. Then it should be even better for kicks.
Thank you all for your support! I've turned my channel into a global brand of DIY kits: kewlus.com, including World's First Modular Cobra Bag!

Must say... your intro was awesome ahahhaa I laugh and enjoy it a lot!
Thank you 😎
This is really ingenius!!! This will save people lots of money!!! Mainstream punching bags are expensive as hell.
Thank you for this fantastic idea. I’m planning to use a heavy garden pot as the base.
Make sure it has a wide base or it might tip over
Yes, it might not work. Thanks for the reply. I’m also thinking to use a vehicle wheel filled with cement with a flange in the centre.
That might do it
I loved the intro. Way better than lame cgi effects flying everywhere.
Wow! Thank you! I would’ve never thought of this!
Good one... I will try it
All the best
Genius
Or mad man 🤣

Did you end up making a punching bag? If so how?
I just made this over the weekend. Everything from Bunnings. Reckon I spent about $75. It’s awesome!
Let me know if it’s helpful to share photos of it. :-)
Yeah definitely if you can post it on Instagram and add #kewlus

a photo?
GENIUS
many thanks and much respect
genius idea using pool noodles
Wow its nice....
I love the intro
And thanks for the tips
God bless all of you
I’m gonna make this!

💪🤙👌😂😂
Great video thanks so much 👍
What a nice tutorial but just few views 😢
This is very cool tips!!
I used a 5 gallon bucket and filled it with a bag and a half of cement. Pretty heavy and solid.
Good one!
My wife watched this video just before our divorce and she spray painted me red, covered me in clingfilm, and hung me by arms from the ceiling fan...I should’ve read the warning signs then that it was over..
😂😂😂😂
Jesus
Did she at least use a “pule noodel” (Aussie voice)
It workt
How do you stick it in the base?
I used an umbrella base
@@Kewlus No, I mean what do you stick into it cobber?
Nice one!
Thank you! Cheers!

Do you think filling the pvc pipe with some cement or sand would make it bend less?
Definitely 👌
💜
Awesome video!! Great easy to follow
Can you make a speed bag
Possibly next project! Stay tuned brother!
@@Kewlus cant wait
where I am living I can't order the Pool noodle and couldn't find Here in stores same diameter and size you used in Vedio
I found small size and thin one is it gonna work?
You could try it!
I don't see the link for the umbrella stand?
No link for that one since it’s too heavy to ship.

Well I say just buy the Bob punching dummy it’s the greatest boxing dummy you will ever have
can you give me that pool noodle buy link
Can this be reenforced to handle medium to hard kicks i need something for martial arts home training. I ilve in an apartment and have limited space.
It all depends on the strength of the base.
Do you have another material suggestion instead of the inner pool noodle to make the bag heavier ?
Stack discarded tires.
You could try filling the pool noodles with sand?
Isn't PVC weak?
It’s strong enough for this application
Please mention in description about all the equipments needed
Please check for details on www.fighterdiy.com
Can this bag be used with kicks as well
Light kicks sure
Isn't it too light??
It’s light but still not too bad and easy to put away after a workout
Can you purchase a base from a an hardware store?
Yep I got mine from a local hardware store called Bunnings for around US$25
How do you make the MDF one?
kewlus.com/blogs/diy/advanced-cobra-bag-setup
What a shame, here in Italy pool noodles cost five time the price you get from you...
😩Sorry to hear that brother
Yeah that's very disappointing... Maybe i could use some regular foam covered up in old clothes and then tighten them with tapes 🤙🏼
Yeah that might work! Just try to keep it as light as possible. Just use some light tape like packing tape rather that cloth
Alright, let's try it
Go to a piping supply house or HVAC supply house and as for pipe insulation

How do you make the standing bag heavier?
Maybe you could fill the inside of some of the pool noodles with sand?
