    You should know the molds this guy sells to make weight plates turn out great Just incase you had any doubt about legitimacy that is my take (and you can locate additional necessary materials at home Depot galvanized steel fiberglass reinforcement etc. It's a cheaper option) most likely will order this soon next looking forward to seeing what else you come up with super creative wishing you the highest level of success you deserve it.

    thank you so much for posting this video. I have pretty much figured it all out at this point (messed up my first 2) but it is nice to see your process. I didn't do rebar circles like you, I just attached the wire ties around both screws. But I will start doing it that way now.

    Hello
    i tried using this method, meaning weight the cement dry and than add water , done 2 days ago and kept inside the mod with plastic all around but it is way off
    I wanted to make 7.5kg dumbbell and each side had 800gr of "rebar"
    so i weighted 2.9kg of dry cement, water mixed everything bla bla
    today i weighted the first half of the dumbell and got 4.65kg instead of 3.8kg , (2.9kg dry cement + 0.1kg tube + 0.8kg rebar)
    So that is like 800gr of water weight, will it evaporate all?
    I mean yeah it is still wet but 800gr of water i dont know
    thank you!

    • @stixandstone
      @stixandstone  3 роки тому

      Let it cure and dry out fully. Then you can sand down the edges to get it down to the exact weight you want. Also take into account the weight of the handle and anchors you are using.

    How can we make these in larger poundages? I'd like to get 5lb increments from 55 to 100. Is this possible?

    • @stixandstone
      @stixandstone  3 роки тому +1

      You can make a form that large enough to hold that much concrete. But it’s going to be very large and very awkward to lift with. I am presently working on a mold that can do that heavy, but I’m trying to make it as “not awkward” as possible with the shape.

    • @stixandstone
      @stixandstone  3 роки тому +1

      @@stevengrindstaff it’s definitely possible. You can add lead shot (like what is in shotgun shells) to each side to get up to about that weight. I’ve added old broken wheel weights I got for free from a local tire shop into my atlas stones to do the same thing. It may be worth a try to do the wheel weights for a cheap alternative to the lead shot.

      There are a lot of how to videos out there on even cheaper ways to make dumbbells. This is just one way that takes out a bunch of prep steps because the mold is made for you and helps center the handle.
