DIY: Clubbells

So I'm a little late getting to this. It's been an incredibly busy week. My mom had surgery on her foot to remove cancer cells. Later that day the whole family gathered at the hospital, waiting to welcome the arrival of my nephew's son. We had no idea that wait would be approximately 16 hours. Yeah, we kept ourselves entertained, but unfortunately it set my blogging back a day or two after playing catch up.

Here we go...

DIY Clubbells.

I really, really wanted a pair of clubbells after reading about them on MarksDailyApple.com and watching fellow Primals use them in YouTube videos. I was disappointed to discover that a nice pair of clubbells would cost $150 or more. That is certainly not in my budget. What's a low-income Primal to do? Make her own of course!

Making a nice pair of clubbells is actually really easy, and takes only a little time and a few supplies. All you need are a pair of T-Ball bats, which are smaller than regular baseball bats, a drill, some sand, and a plug... oh yeah, and a funnel (which I forgot at first, thus the reason it's not in the picture.)

Have a friend hold your bat steady and drill a hole in it. For mine, I decided I would drill the hole in the handle end. Makes sense, right? So we drilled a hole, and poured the sand in. Stick a plug in it, and you're done! Super, super simple. My clubbells came out at just about 6 pounds. Not too heavy to swing around with one hand, which is why I made a pair of them. I'm going to take a full-size bat and make a 2-handed clubbell pretty soon.

Yup, that's it! Pretty simple huh? Oh yeah, and the best part... it only cost about $25 to make them. The bats were $10 each, and the sand was about $3. The plugs were $1 each. Cool huh?


Oh yeah, and before I forget... I would like to share with you my Great nephew, Connor Cole Brooks, and his proud daddy, Josh. Momma Jocelyn is doing fantastic and looking beautiful. :)
