I order 100m dia mild steel rods from ebay, drilled and tapped the screw holes for the leather handles. I haggled at a shopping mall with a belt maker for the leather

I must admit, I did wonder how your channel would pan out when you first joined this forum. I have to say (for what it's worth), it's very well done and you clearly know and enjoy what you are doing - that comes through in the videos.
(My only comment - change, reduce or drop the music, very samey and it doesn't add to the content in my lonely opinion).
Look forward to your future videos.

I have a number of weights to make for holding patio doors open and stuff like that.
Gracias.

Something like this may help, will allow you to decide ballpark area of weight you want.
