I used this guide and made my own! could only get a 1" pipe with a 1 1/4" on top. Need to find something to secure the plates with but tape does it for now. Seems to do the trick! I can't get a mace here in Germany without serious expense, so thank you so much for this video.
That music, i love it! And that mace is awesome, I on the other hand bought my self a 20 lbs 42 inch macebell... and I do hope I chose the right weight!
Such a neat idea. Especially since every place that sells maces sells them at obscene prices. Also, couldn't help but notice this is the 2nd video where you mention being less than impressed by an Onnit product. I'll be making sure to avoid them.
Nice video man. I am doing kettle bells and looking to add something else into the workout routine. i have a piece of pipe laying at the house just need nipple, reducer, and "this thing" and I am set!!
Dude! I'm digging your videos! You're a huge inspiration and a reminder to have fun when doing any type of movement! Also, who is the punk band playing at the last bit of the video?
Final Summation (the band at the end of the video). They're a Sacramento band that has been very generous in letting me use their music. Real good stuff. Find 'em online.
I honestly don't know if this is right but I have written this with the idea of trying to give people a decent shopping list of what to google or find at their hardware store. Starting from the tip of the handle that you grip to the plate loading side: 1.25" (32mm) galvanised steel cap 1.25" x 36" ( 32mm x up to 1000mm) pre cut threaded on both ends galvanised steel pipe 1.25" to 1.5" (32mm x 38mm) galvanised steel reducing socket ??? 1.5" x 7.87" (38mm x 200mm) pre cut threaded on both ends galvanised steel pipe 1.5" (38mm) galvanised steel floor flange ??? I am not sure about the thicker shaft as to whether it's 2", 1.75" or 1.5". I am guessing the 2" would be too snug for the olympic plates and I can't seem to find a 1/75" diameter galvanised steel pipe............. I am not a plumber, just an avid googler who will be making this soon hopefully for judo training. In the UK this costs about £32 from jtm plumbing
Yeah... I feel your pain. I finally had to find a local hardware store with an awesome pipe selection. Luckily, there's one close to me here in West Sacramento.
The part that screws on the end of the mace is called a floor flange.
Thank you!
Great vid, great music, great delivery. Thanks! Going to try make one of these...
Thank you! Made this a while ago, but still stand by it, and have made a bunch since. Let me know how yours turns out.

Glad I could help!
Made one of these yesterday - works awesome - shoulders sore in all new ways 👍 👍
Dude, thank you! Everyone's sold out right now.
The homemade version is better than any of the manufactured ones. Plus it is loadable.
That music, i love it! And that mace is awesome, I on the other hand bought my self a 20 lbs 42 inch macebell... and I do hope I chose the right weight!
Made it with 1.25 inch handle.Man, it's a killer.
Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for this. 6 inch or 4 inch all thread nipple with 2 floor flanges solves the problem of needing a spacer.
Great video Chip! Thanks for posting!

Most welcome!
Awesome.
Super idea.
Saves you money while giving you the control of length, weight, and grip thickness.
great vid, thx :)
hey chip... lionel here...its a flange!!!
You. good sir, are late to the party. Now go watch the 130 or so videos I've made since this one, please. I could use the views.
@@Bodytribechip" I'm a party of 1 !"
All right I'm on it! 130,129,128....

This is great and I'm now off to Homedepot!
How about a homemade adjustable clubbell?
Someone many years ago made a great video on clubbell making. It's a design I still use and the video is still here on youtube.
Thank you!!!

Sometimes folks prefer a 1" diameter, which may be preferable and cheaper. And yes, I do believe the fatter part is 1.5 inches.
The one in the video demo seems longer than 48". Are you sure it is 36" total length?
It's around 40". I had it cut at Home Depot to that length, since I like the challenge of a longer mace.
Is a lot easier to buy an economic barbell and cut it.
have you done it?
What a great idea! Do you still use these?
Too big to carry around in my car, but I'd still use them if I had a gym. In fact that one I built in the video still exists.
Shout out to Crossfit Bezel!
What music?
Barf Lie by Black Mackerel, then No More by Final Summation.
I have been to home depot I can never find pipes this size

As a pipefitter this guy is hard to watch. But we'll done
My pipe working dexterity leaves something to be desired.
I bought a sledgehammer
I prefer a longer handle and something that's adjustable, but a sledge can do the job.
Or you could make the little fat pipe, threated all the way... that way you just screw it on until it locks...
If not this, why not a sledge hammer?
Sure, although I'd personally prefer a longer handle.
I see and thank you for the reply.
Flange
crossfitters do everything wrong my god
Not sure what that means or what it is in reference to.
Music in the video?
Floating Goat during the talking part, but No More by Final Summation during the moving part.
