After staring this thread about farmers walks I decided to make a pair of top loaders and add them to my training . They are about 25kg each.
They are quite solid and I have welded all the end caps for the handles and posts and polished them back before being painted. I made it out of 75x50x3mm, handle is 30mm diameter x 4mm thick .
I put 6mm thick ski's on either end so if you drop the load your toes won't get squashed. It gives you a more stable footprint as well.
Man how can I get a set of these???
About time you start making gym equipment professionally, I would certainly be placing an order.
I seriously want some of these, but for standard plates and with fat handles, let me know and I will pick them up next time I am on the Gold Coast.
You should think about making a prowler sled as well, to push and drag.

Thanks mate, no knurling. I just used heavy wall pipe for the handles and had them powder coated.
It is fairly grippy. You could rough the paint up a bit by using some fine sandpaper for more grip.
I was thinking of knurling them but didn't have access to a lathe

They are a one off at this stage Mick.
A few people have mentioned to start making gym equipment
A sled is next on the production line along with a adjustable bench. Just finished a flat bench off... Just waiting on the padding so I can try it out.

Certainly looks better than anything available anywhere.
This is the reason I Use my 30plus year old equipment, it's solid and well made, this is the same solid made by someone that actually uses the equipment, not stuff made out of tin cans in some third world country.

Nah its not to bad, a barbell is 28. But my grip is pathetic at the moment. I have soft baby hands from a few months off.
