I made a long dumbbell handle for home. A precut peice of black iron pipe and hose clamps. You need four clamps: two to keep the plates away from your hands and two to clamp down the plates once you slide them on.

Take a plate to the hardware store to find the size pipe that works for you. Otherwise you'll get home and the pipe will be too big around or something.

You can get real collars, if it's important enough. I just keep using the hose clamps.
