Love the deer in background. Great video

[@Goondalini]

They know a friend of Nature when they see one!

[@GyanIndianJori]

Awesome Pahalwan! Great information how to make this. But missed how to open or break the Pot 🍯 I will make one as you mentioned in this video... Wishing to make A nail Gada too.

[@Goondalini]

Sir! This is great because the plastic bucket will eventually slide right off once the cement shrinks slightly after longer curing, allowing you to reuse the bucket for more Gada of the same size. Which is what I’ve done with this bucket I have used it to make one with a 2 inch handle also!

[@smanish5184]

Great to see you gyan sir, you are doing great work for pehlwani and akhada culture. 👍 Jai shree ram Waiting to visit you someday

[@ethanstewartstevenson7309]

The deer cameo is awesome. They know good energy in a human. Stay dope, brother. 🤙🏻👊🏻

[@Goondalini]

Hahaha I appreciate them! They pop up in a few videos, thanks for watching my stuff man I appreciate it! Hope you get something from it

[@someguy403]

I gotta make on of these, they look like a great workout. Also I really liked the idea of using the ash from the various words being used to help construct the mace.

[@oneconsc3333]

Wow! I could see myself really messing up my shoulders with that but it does look like a great exercise. Reminds me of the Iron sheik from wrestling back in the late 70's early 80's.... with those clubs he used to carry around..... "Iran number one, America number one".....😂😂😂😂 this is what he used to say all the time. Blessings brother. Love the idea of setting your intentions in concrete.... May not be etched in stone but it's definitely set in concrete. Be well🙏🏻🇨🇦💜.

[@Goondalini]

Honestly these tools have freed up so much tightness in my shoulders. I suggest making a lightweight one and giving it a try! Haha I do know the reference you’re making! If you can’t do it for yourself, do it for the Iron Sheik

Very nice! Gada. Jay Shri Ram.... 🙏🏻

Thank you very much brother! I appreciate the support! 🙏🏻

[@timberliftersurvival1836]

well thats my weekend project sorted 👍🏻

[@Goondalini]

The go-getter has shown himself! I will put a video out with a workout to accompany this very soon!

[@goatsneedguns1444]

Nice video! Making one of your maces has been an idea I've been tossing around for a bit. Really looking forwards to seeing what else you put up on here.

[@Goondalini]

Thanks a lot brochacho, I look forward to connecting with you and everybody else more!

[@alldspeaches8430]

Origin of gada or mace is in India.....love from India keep spreading Manly hood

[@Goondalini]

I love the culture my friend! Thank you for taking the time to write and educate those who may not know, knowledge is a wonderful thing!

[@dbds7292]

There was no idea to adjust the weight with iron nails Driving nails increases the number of contact points with the concrete, increasing its strength. If you don't get used to making it many times, the weight and nails will come out. The biggest problem is that since it is concrete, if it is made heavy, the volume will be larger than if it were only a steel frame. What kind of maintenance do you do?

[@VishalNaik-ux2sk]

Phenomenal video brother!!!! thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Goondalini]

Thank you for watching! Share it with your friends!

[@WarYoga]

Nice work man - looking forward to more of your content. I like the screws added and love the ashes of your intentions

[@Goondalini]

Tom, I can’t thank you enough for all the knowledge you have shared with me. Your book and the mentions of Agni inspired me to place these intentions into this piece through fire and air.

I honestly thought you were just using ice lol have you tried just freezing a bucket of water?

[@Goondalini]

Lmao I’ll have to wait until winter rolls back around, I definitely will do it though!

[@joshaklese4969]

Mineral oil will preserve that handle without giving blisters.

[@frankobeltran4068]

Hey man That is awesome. Especially the part of the burnt paper your goals and stuff. We are like on opposite sides of the world you live where it snows and its looks cold as hell.Lol Where I live completely the opposite we have had record breaking heat waves jajaja but I can relate with the whole goals thing cause after 2 years of 0 work outs and working at home and going from a size 38 to a size 42!!! I start my first work out today after 2 years of just nothing. Im gonna build that MaceGada like yours and do the same thing with my goals and ashes .. Badazz bro!! hope you met your goals man.

[@Goondalini]

Thank you friend!

[@spasham74]

Great video! Thanks for posting. What is the length of your dowel?

[@Goondalini]

This is a little over 4 feet long! I have made longer ones that I enjoy a lot as well. The longer stroke makes lighter weight heavier due to the increased distance from your center. I suggest making using different lengths and widths of dowel because it can make such a difference with a small change! Let me know what you end up doing!

[@kashyaptrivedi6284]

You will find good GADA & MAGDAD

[@sinthetikbeast]

Just made one yesterday. Was very heavy, so made another with 5 quart bucket. One question; you ever worried about the handle snapping?

[@Goondalini]

What material is it made from? Mine is a pine handle with ~40 LBS on it, no issues and it’s kept outside in the weather. I have never had a handle break, except for bamboo I had crack once. If breakage makes you nervous you can always get a steel bar!

[@sinthetikbeast]

@@Goondalini thanks! Only question is how would you reinforce in the concrete with a steel bar? Any suggestions?

[@8Ivion8]

​@@sinthetikbeast I would use headless deck bolt threads and deck nuts. The reason why is because they are made out of a metal that is used for structural reinforcement. An alternative would be Welding/JB Welding the Steel Bar/Rebar and Deck Screws together. In both cases pre-drilled holes are necessary. If the rebar handle is too thin I would wrap it with rope/sports tape/gauze/fabric+mixed water & glue or waterproof varnish. Another option is that thin rebar can be set into a drilled dowel and locked in place by JB Weld pins or ball peen pins. Truck Bed Liner, Fiberglass+Rubber Spray, and Carbon Fiber all seem like great structural reinforcement and weatherproofing options so that you don't lose your handle to rot. I think Blacksmithing or Welding your own custom filling container would be a neat idea. (Bonus Ideas) Maybe a whole bunch of containers can be combined with shrinkwrap or rivets/deck bolt threads & deck nuts and then covered in one of those waterproofing options. Paper mache might be an covering option too. (Highly Experimental Ideas) 1)Use wire as a flexible pin and seal with a Weld or JB Weld. Use multiple random objects and pin them together to make a larger pouring container(in this case rot treat the container first.). 2)Use 1-3 of those hose clips mentioned in 'The Art of Hojo Undo' by Michael Clarke to tie two or more weighted pieces to the pole. Use pvc pipe cut in half(at least), cardboard and hot glue to make the molds.

[@friedfish69]

Did the nails sink? Not to the end of the video yet, but I figure the nails will sink as you qgitate.

[@Goondalini]

Possibly, but none are able to protrude out, a heavier weight at the end would be ideal. I like to keep the weight out of the handle so the force on the end is maximized when it gets tossed.

[@tazman9872]

@@Goondalini is it OK to skip the adding nails step?

[@Goondalini]

As long as you are talking about the nails and not the screws that are sunk into the wood, yes the nails were just added for weight and can be left out without any issue

I made 2, but with handles of old shovels I found. The handles all twisted and janked up. Now I got make them again. anyway who cares just commenting for the algorithm

[@Goondalini]

Thanks for watching amigo! I like the shove handles because the wood is typically hickory and very strong, however the polyurethane coating over it can cause some slippage when things get moist and LORD KNOWS WE ARE GONNA GET WET ‘ROUND HERE
