Reedy, I just completed this project for a gym for mostly Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. It is organized under the organization "Rock Steady Boxing", our gym is located in Bowling Green, KY. Our members have serious physical limitations, but find boxing a great option for improving their overall physical health and their fine motor, balance and muscle control issues that PD brings. Additionally, I added a kick bar 4" from the floor, but it is identical to the spar bar. For anyone building this project, read carefully Reedy's directions. My version ended up very much like yours, except I used a T-fitting instead of a Cross fitting. The key issue is choosing a 1/2" x 6 ft mast so that it will fit inside the 25mmx47mmx12mm ball bearings. I wasn't a plumber so I didn't know that PVC and iron pipe sizes refer to the ID of the pipe that fits INSIDE the connector. I also used a 1 1/2" PVC pipe and T fitting. I was also able to find a 1 1/2" x 1/2" wall x 6' pipe insulation stick that fits almost perfectly around the bar PVC, with only a small gap. The insulation stick is also pre-cut with one slice down the center and adhesive on each side. You'll need to seek out a good plumbing supplier to find one, my cost was around $6. My other change was I found a 6" diameter medicine ball that weighed 6 lbs for my counter balance. I also used a rubber toilet plunger that also screwed onto the 1/2" mast which I further secured with a hose clamp. Our gym members are so happy with the spar bar I will be adding a 5' version {for shorter boxers) with a second bar at a height for our wheelchair members. Yes, some of our PD patients are confined to a wheelchair, but they still come in and hit the heavy bag, lowered speed bag and whip the same 50 lb battle ropes I do. They are such an inspiration to all of us non-confined boxers. Thank you Reedy, for taking the time to produce these series of videos. Our new spar bar will be a tremendous help to all of our members suffering from Parkinson's Disease and battling its effects at our boxing gym.
I purchased both the medium th-cam.com/users/postUgkxfh2XUOHWYHKQYOvSq2gZ6PyCmVkTFGWz and small speed bags from Meister. I'm very glad I got both as the workout is quite different from the two. The small is fantastic for getting your speed built up once familiar with your striking. The medium bag provides a considerable amount more resistance building more strength in your punches. I highly recommend both sizes.Some people have expressed concern over the latex bladder leaking down more frequently than the traditional rubber. I have not found this to be an issue at all.
Not a bad Idea. Had you not thought about a garden parasol weight to slip it into?? The metal ones can be pegged into the grass in a back garden or screwed/secured into any wooden base
I'm currently making mine. I went to a junkyard to scavenge some useful items for this project and then I came across an old spin mop. I took off the mop and kept the pole and its spinning part, I then attached a wood stick to where the mop used to sit and I'm almost ready to go! The only thing I noticed is just that apparently, it doesn't spin as fast as the one in this video as it doesn't have the two ball bearings, probably there is only a small one inside the pole... But I'll be sure once the pole is fixed to a base. Anyway, I think its speed is good enough for a "beginner", and that's what it's intended for by me, so it will do the trick for a while!
Love it, genius for a starter kit. Hopefully I'll have a video to send you of what I am working on soon. Still gathering materials and mapping things out.
The name or title of any specific deity is capitalized just like any other name, so when “God” is used to refer to “the one God” (in other words, in any monotheistic religion), it is capitalized. For example, you'd capitalize “God” in these sentences: Some Christians give thanks to God before every meal.
You put a noodle! Glad you’re one of those you tubers who listen to their fans haha. Good stuff! Is there gonna be a v2? I’d love to make this but waiting if there’s a better version.
For anyone with the Everlast punching bag/speed bag stand, the three little 6 inch bars that have the pad on them(or as I used em, to put weights over to hold the stand down) is the perfect size for a 1/2 inch bar to slide right into for a "stand". Just pop the little plastic piece off and a 1/2 in bar slides right in it
I don’t know if you remember General Grivous from the Star Wars prequels. He was the robot with 6 lightsabers that all spun vertically like plane propellers. If there’s a way to invent one of those that could be useful for practicing defense against jabs and crosses and maybe uppercuts on your own.
Another one I was thinking about was like a double end bag but instead of a bag there is a 2x4 or something with the end pointing at you(not the rails). Almost like real jabs being thrown at you. For me personally, cobra reflex bags and double end bags do nothing for me. I think of it as an opponents moving head you have to hit but never strikes back.
Yep. It doesn’t work but it the spring is replaced by a solid pipe, extending the mast then you could have a spar bar that uses the same platform as the cobra bag
so you can't do any type of 360 degree footwork cause of all the stuff that's in the way, how abouts you just use a simple parasol base instead, fill it with sand or cement, then it'll be rock solid and won't move either and you can comfortably work around it from any angle?
Thank you for the translation! The key to the design is a rigid mast. PVC pipes bend and don’t offer the same rigidity as metal. For detailed instructions visit www.fighterdiy.com/2020/05/diy-spar-bar-pro.html?m=1

I'm a avid fan of your vids and I would like to know if its correct - 1/2 inch GI pipe, Ball bearing 25x47x12 and the 40mm T-pipe PVC. Also will mention some packing tapes. Thanks.
Need ur help buddy, i made this, but for convenience i used pvc pipe instead of galvanized pipe...now the pipe is not steady and tilts to one side, can you give any suggestions
@Reedy, question, im looking at the bearings inside the four way and the size of the pole, im not the sharpest tool in the shed but im trying to figure out how u are keeping the mechanism from sliding? The pole is wayyy thinner than the bearings n even with the tape which doesn't look like u put alot on the pole, how is it staying there? What else is filling the space between tha pole n bearings, @ the 2:37 mark when u take the arm off to show the pin system i notice that there is something left on the pole, is that a bearing? How do u fill the space? Those bearings are wayy big for a half in pole
It works incredibly! By the way, can you make a list of all the material? Some of this names are specific and I don't get them 😅 at least if I see them I can search for a translate (I'm spanish). Thanks anyway ;)
Hey Reedy great video! looking at making something like this myself. I picked up some 25mm x 47mm x 12mm bearings and was wondering if they'll fit in the 40mm PVC Tee/Cross section that you linked on your website. I thought since the bearing has a diameter of 47mm it wouldn't fit in the 40mm PVC section? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Reedy Kewlus can you tell me what are the sizes you used ? I used the same pipes diameter you showed on you video and I can fin a ball bearing with 1 1/2 inch outside diameter with 1/2 inch inner diameter. Thx again
Hi, could you tell me the size of each object? I have trouble understanding English, so some things I couldn't understand, in this case the size, width and I wanted to know if it's possible to replace the water and the chair with something else?
Hello there..it's me again..I like this one..I have a question there is anywhere I can write you to ask you some advise? I got different materials than yours and I'm trying to do it with what I got..let me know 👌
I would like to know how you did the sparbar with the white umbrella stand..I did everything the pipe is attached but the bar of the umbrella stand moves with the pipe and it becomes slower at every punch..thank you
Dude, this sounds like it's better quality than the expensive "real" one
alternatively you could attach a razor sharp machete to the end, to simulate the nerves you feel in a real fight

Did you end up making one?
If so, how has it been
You put a noodle! Glad you’re one of those you tubers who listen to their fans haha. Good stuff! Is there gonna be a v2? I’d love to make this but waiting if there’s a better version.
Yep! I’m all about listening to my fans. V2 is likely to have a proper brace for the pole rather than using a chair
I'm "stealing" this idea! SUBSCRIBED!

I’d like to learn how to make one where the bar spins vertical instead of horizontal to practice slipping jabs and crosses
Interesting idea!!!
@@Kewlus it would be great if it was logically possible.

Solid bro! Great build. Great video!
Appreciate it!
👍😁 I'm gonna get started tomorrow 👊🏼😎👊🏼
@@el.malasuerte no haven't started yet 😲🤣😂
I wonder what will happen if you use a PVC pipe as the pole. Then you have a Cobra bag and a spar bar in one
I tried and it didn’t work. The PVC pipe dampened the spar bar rotation to a point that it was not practical
@@Kewlus Oh that would be Nice if it worked
Why didn't you use pvc insulation tube instead? Cost more?
Yes and doesn’t bounce as well
Have you tried to combine it with the Cobra? Would be very interesting!
Yep. It doesn’t work but it the spring is replaced by a solid pipe, extending the mast then you could have a spar bar that uses the same platform as the cobra bag
so you can't do any type of 360 degree footwork cause of all the stuff that's in the way, how abouts you just use a simple parasol base instead, fill it with sand or cement, then it'll be rock solid and won't move either and you can comfortably work around it from any angle?
Can u make one with arm, knee and foot mechanics? I got a idea for a 3 based set up that i was thinking of making
SWEET! Operates smoothly!
Man...your vids are super dope, mate. Thank you. Very motivating for me.
Se podrá hacer con solo PVC?
Estaría increíble que pudieras medidas de cada cosa, me encantó el video gracias
Could someone please translate to English?
@@Kewlus he is asking if it posible to make this with only pvc material. And it would be great if you can put the measures units of all the parts.

Excuse a question of what measurement are the bearings in inches and the cross elbow that you used
Most of the details are here: www.fighterdiy.com/2020/05/diy-spar-bar-pro.html
This is awesome. I’m taking that ball joint idea and material to try to create something more compact for my planned space
maybe try concrete in a bucket with the beam centered, I think that’s what i’m gonna do when i build one instead of the chair. Cheers and thank you
This weekend I’ll show you another option. Concrete in a bucket though is also a good idea 👍👌😆
I'm inspired & motivated

Excelente!!! Mi querido Jorge Campos!
Thank you! I was about to spend $300 on one of these damn things.

Thanks for the idea. Creating my own out of pvc and such. Instead of spending 300 dollars for something that eventually might end up on the curb

There is only a small gap between the inner diameter of the bearings and the pole. Tape around the pole does the job
What’s the diameter of the cross pvc? Amazing work btw!

Hi amazing video quick question where did you get the ball bearing. I am looking for an 1.5 outside diameter x 0.5 inner diameter and can’t find one
I got mine from Bunnings here in Australia. Check in a local bearings shop. They normally stock all kinds
Reedy Kewlus can you tell me what are the sizes you used ? I used the same pipes diameter you showed on you video and I can fin a ball bearing with 1 1/2 inch outside diameter with 1/2 inch inner diameter.
Thx again
