DIY Gada | How to Make a Bamboo Mace

[@UnCompress_]

If you mix the concrete first before poring you will have a better mixture and the weight will go up. Also shaking the mold will help the trapped air to escape and this also helps to create a more solid concrete block.

[@willway9378]

Shaking, using a massage tool or something with vibration or oscillation will work those bubbles out, premixing and measuring, creating a drill tool with wire for mixing or just stirring should be sufficient and then curing for longer even weeks to allow to fully harden before too much use especially prior to impacts

I am 14 years old and i swing gada i was inspired by this guy

[@normanquednau]

As you are 15 now... Do you still swing the Gada? Salute to Bharat😊

[@jacobrymer5268]

You can use "silicone release spray", commonly used in making molds. It really helps the concrete stay separate from the mold. Works well when I made my atlas stones. Plastic buckets work too, and maybe they would have cool shapes for a gada? I may give this a try soon.

[@TheSilentWonder]

Another option is to rub the inside with oil, veg oil or olive oil even engine oil will do. Works well with container that has smooth surface inside.

[@pahlavandan3989]

Thanks for the tip

[@anthonycraig274]

😂 I thought of cling film.

[@Dankelheit]

I used a plastic jack o lantern bucket to make mine. Works perfectly with a flat bottom, it holds a gallon of concrete(20lbs), and has a cool jack o lantern smile

[@johnhopkins1200]

Kids plastic pumpkin Halloween basket makes a great gada

[@KK-kl7se]

Wow awesome you have learn the right way and glad to see how you follow the gestures of touching the Gada & respecting ... we have chain of gyms inspired by west here in INDIA everywhere and people forgetting our old cultural training forms. And you imeanwhile expanding our indian hanuman gada mace execercising format across the globe with your channel and your academy. Kudos keep flying Mr. Flowing Dutchman, more power to you 💪👍👍👍

This is John. I am from India puducherry (tamilnadu) u r all videos super sir 💪👌nandri vanakkam🙏

[@MonkeOfAMillion]

To avoid cracks you should cure the concrete for a week or so afterwards. After it's dried for 12 hours initially you should keep them wet. If you remove the pots then submerge the gada head in water, if you're keeping the pots on then keep watering the exposed concrete on top a few times a day.

[@b-dogswings8019]

I never thought of using pots as moulds. I used basketballs when I made my maces. Great video.

[@Immortal1Sharmaa]

Basketballs, how???

[@user--710]

drill circular hole in the top and fill with concrete @@Immortal1Sharmaa

[@littlewigglemonster7691]

​@@Immortal1Sharmaacut hole and fill it up ? Lol

[@rajeshgowekar1213]

Sir, I am regularly watching u r videos, from inspired by u I have made 10 different types of gada..... And it is made absolutely perfect.... And regularly swing this gada.. It gives me strength & stamina.... Thanks dear sir......

[@uncle8565]

Hello from THAILAND ❤ It’s very amazing for me to see this. Maybe next time you make the mace from unstable thing. Like water, Jelly, Sand or Metal ball 😅😅😅 it’s would be great. ❤❤❤

[@carnivorousentity]

It makes sense they all feel heavier. The ones with bamboo handles are always more challenging as you know. That weight distribution makes all the difference. Great video as always.

[@carnivorousentity]

The little 4kg oak one I have from body mind fit gives me a better work out than the 5kg steel I have.

[@paczes]

Come spring, I'm making my gada.

[@billklatsch5058]

I use ballons, gyspum warps (like the ones for castings broken bone treatment) and a bucket of sand. Gives round heads and weight can be controlled relative accurate. And ist dirt cheap as a bonus.

[@littlewigglemonster7691]

An interesting idea will have to try thanks

[@DaniGirl6]

What is good about bamboo handles? I saw you first mace video where you commented on how heavy knurling hurts the hands and wood has a nice feeling. Could you talk more about the handles in your experience. What do you think about using a shovel handle or different material including ash, hickory, even plastic pipes from the hardware store that might be leftover from another project. What are your thoughts on how those would feel when practicing. Would an old metal broom handle be okay, particularly for light weights fir starting out like 2 - 4Kg. My guess is that the handle doesn't need to be strong like an axe handle or shovel handle and I could upcycle some things I have around the house. P.S. I understand you're sharing a way and not attempting to be comprehensive of all ways. The reason I ask is because you have so much experience and mastered the technique enough to feel subtle difference and give insight.

[@Chad_Thundernuts]

How fun!! I think I will attempt this project myself in the near future. I'm thinking some vintage brass pots and vases might make nice end pieces. Thanks for the great video!! 😄👍

[@ruletishka4261]

🇺🇾botellas de agua se cortan y se descartan. Clavos en el bambú,previamente con anillos de alambre,evita rajaduras. Ó se puede usar cuerda etcétera. Saludos 🇺🇾

[@mohitthapa2265]

You can always trim the handle to your taste after the gada is finished curing..

[@Isaiah-ft5nx]

My thoughts exactly.

[@michaelfranek4434]

Nice Video. Working on my own Gadas at the moment 👍

[@Killtrobal]

Amigo... what you call dumdum it´s a Moai. The statues found in Rapa Nui Island (also called Easter island). One of them is just another stolen object at the british museum. ;) Love your content, thanks for everything!

[@TheFlowingDutchman]

I know, but there’s a moai in the film night in the museum and the statue called the actor DumDum.

[@juaffle]

Thank you!

[@musicianks5658]

Man your bahubal is just amazing keep going.....great achievements are waiting for you !

[@nickdel-molino40]

Great video. Where did you get your bamboo from & that awesome glass vase?

[@TheFlowingDutchman]

Haha bamboo I found at a garden shop here in Amsterdam. I found that vase three years ago in a shop randomly. I bought it with the intention to make a gada from it!

[@user-bt6up7dk5s]

Not bad Dutchman. 1st time you almost do it. Keep it up brother 😎

[@vincenttiokinkernach4428]

Le vase Dum Dum est trop classe !!!

[@RamPratap-py8tn]

U are so strong brother Jai shree Ram Jai Hanuman🚩🙏

[@vichaar1127]

Awesome video.

[@xxxx-lt4he]

18:10 the best moment:)

[@johnb8983]

This is wonderful I’m starting to build mine now! I was wondering if there was a good way to estimate/equate weight to size on pots and concrete

[@dws_damiansworkshop]

@John B just fill it with water and measure how many Litres fit in the pot/vase. Then multiply the liters with 2.4kg/L and you have the weight of the concrete in the finished gada. E.g. 2 Liters water volume -> 4.8kg (+ the weight of the pot and handle) is the total weight of the finished Gada

[@fredazcarate4818]

Awesome swinging my lad.🧐💯👌👊👍🙏

[@rucellegarciano4105]

Wow! 😂 The Dutch is very smart... Do Dutch cements have pre-mixed sand and gravel in them?

[@dustinyoung3604]

I knew I saved those bamboo stalks for a reason

[@bhaibhai-qp6fh]

New project unlocked

[@JaiRamJaiRamJaiRam108]

Thanks🙏❤🌹

[@gautamgamer0126]

Nice bro 💪

[@joshy0369]

✌😎

[@paczes]

Could you give the measurements for the bamboo handle? Best recommended length and grip? Also maybe some tips where did you buy it? I'm looking for something similar in Poland and only find like those thin bamboo sticks for gardening...

[@vikromseo]

Add iron powder it will weigh more.

[@vincenttiokinkernach4428]

Vidéo super intéressante !👍👍👍

[@abhayromanpathania4525]

So nice bro🌹🙇🏻‍♂️🌷

[@veremox]

hi! i would like to know which kind(?) of bamboo is that. i dont even know if this question makes sense but im only getting ornamental looking ones at online stores (brazil)

[@OmPrakash-eb5tr]

Jai Bajrang Bali 🙏

[@aum_0]

Very good)

[@sagar-tt4ub]

Can we use the bamboo of height, let's say, till out chest level?

[@Sanjay-kt6gy]

Indian culture........🙏

[@Aspi-vision]

lifting is much easier for you than making one ,for sure !

[@icervantesiii]

Where do you find the 35mm bamboo?

[@marcelomunhoz2280]

Ossssssss🥋🥋!

[@ACI-AssemblyThanksgiving]

I could imagine there is a video somewhere that already talked about this and possibly even this video talked about it already, but I am going to go ahead and be spontaneous and ask it. Is it a good or a bad idea to partially fill a jug with water and mount it at the end of a cane or pole in order to use it as a gada so that you have a centrifugal water gada mace that offers the type of resistance which water offers, -whereby more muscle groups and etcetera would be used at once and more often!??

[@anthonycraig274]

You should have weighted them.

[@domzbu]

No

[@yaarufureddo]

You have the wrong solution. For the mortar you need cement and mortar sand. 1х2 It is necessary to screw in the metal corners. It will be more reliable. The inside of the molds should be oiled so it doesn't stick. The wrong concrete will cause the mold to make cracks. You need sand.

[@shaam32]

try putting plastic bag beneath.

bamboe zagen en dan gauw in het filmpje knippen? hahaha. 🤣🤣🤣
