Finally finished my farmers walk handles.










Now I just have to find some way to make collars. The ones I have for my barbell don't fit the pipe, and wrapping cloth around the pipe to fatten it up just makes the collar slip. I'll probably just use PVC pipe with an eye bolt through it.
Altogether, these two probably cost me about $50. I got the pipe at Home Depot though, if I had gone to a scrap yard it would've cost a lot less. Or if I had found something else to use as stops, those gray things were five bucks each.
They're well worth it though, and a lot cheaper than ordering a pair.

Come to think of it, I should've used PVC pipe for stops. That would've saved me a couple bucks. Oh well.
