HOME MADE DUMBBELLS

Dumbbells are versatile Hand weights and improve your overall health by building bone density,

We can make dumbbells at home instead of buying them,

In that mindset,i made my own dumbbells at my home and i happy to share with you, how i made it,

Let's start work,

1. Drawing kit,
2. Craft knife,
3. Scissors,
4. Brown cello tape,
5. Iron box,
6. Steel pipe,
7. Rough and finish sandpapers,
8. Cement,
9. Sand,
10. Water (as required),
11. Steel wires.

Here i updated full video of work,

* We are living in a home built two years ago,

* There lots of leftovers and reused materials are available in the home,

* I found one reuse material that suits my project, that material is 'plastic plywood sheet',

* I planned to use this sheet and do to useful to me because of its its stiffness to withstand cement mixture and heat.

Straighten and clean the sheet for further use.

•Draw a line of 7.5cm and point it to 1 and 2,

•Take the same dimension with a compass and draw a circle in point 1 and 2,

1. Mention the point origin 'o', where that two circles intersected,
2. Draw a circle of 7.5cm in the point 'o',
3. Name the points 3 and 4, that circles intersected,
4. Draw an arc of 7.5cm in the point 3 and 4 and mention then 5&6,
5. Connect all the points with lines,
6. Finally, we get a hexagon in 7.5cm in each side.

Place on the hexagon in the plywood sheet and cut the same in the sheet.

Trace the hexagon shape and cut it away.

Mark 7.5×10cm in sheet and cut then away.

* All the parts ( hexagon and walls) are in bend because the primary sheet is in folded in circularly,

* To straighten them got Pressing is done.

* Place parts in between in papers and press them using an iron box,

1. Use cobweb-sweeping pipe for handle making,
2. Mark 33cm and cut them away,
3. Remove its paints and rub it with rough emery sheet for grip,
4. Place excess grips ( 6cm screws ) in handle shown in the images.

1. Place walls in the side of the hexagon and stick,
2. Use brown cellotape to join two walls,

•Countinue these and make a box(one side is open),

1. Cover the box fully with brown cellotape,
2. Finally stick handle in the middle of the die-1

1. Take sand and cement in 3:1 ratio in a container,
2. Mix both by adding water as required,

1. Fill up the mixture in the die-1,
2. Remove the air bubbles,
3. Add steel wires frequently around the handle for excess grip,
4. Let them to dry,
5. After 1 days remove the die-1 and again let to dry for 2 days.

Do the same on the die making-1 and make another die-2.

1. Place the die-2 on the other side of the previously made,
2. Keep this setup, shown in the image,
3. Then fill up the mixture in die-2,
4. Remove air bubbles,
5. Add steel wires frequently around the handle,
6. Let them to dry,
7. After 1 day remove the die and again let to dry for 2 days.

1. Apply POP in dried parts of dumbbells and rub it by using fine sand papers,
2. Tiny holes are closed when POP is applied over it.

Apply black paint for the primary colour and gold colour for finishing.

1. Thus dumbbells is made from trash material,
2. We can get different weights of dumbbells when we change the dimensions of dumbbells,
3. The measured weight of the dumbbell is

7.5×10cm = ~7.2kg

10×10cm = ~11.5kg.
