How to make build a speed bag platform

Nicely done mate. The home made radius is awesome. Good old-fashioned simple ingenuity.

[@jasonhopkins3763]

Thanks 👍

As a chippy by trade and a dabbler in woodworking I just wanna say you did a good job there. I feel your pain with the dot'n'dab wall. I have similar problems fixing wall units. I've got some nice planed 4 by 2 spare off a job so I'm gonna use the same method as you did except I'll router the circle using a jig. Then I'll use the spare timber to build two stacks down from two ceiling joists until its at the right height for me. Then fix the board to the stacks of 4 by 2 using angle brackets. Hope that makes sense. Cheers for the video

Well done mate, not a bad job!! Good firm set up, let’s see some progress 😀😀

[@mattmgarza]

HAD the SAME BRACKET MADE, COST ME a 15 PACK of BUD LIGHT. MY POINT BEING , AFTER I INSTALLED IT. I FOUND MY HOME MADE 3" THICK, 27 LB. DRUM WAS VIBRATING EVER SO SLIGHTLY, SO I BEEFED IT UP WITH SOME 2X4 LUMBER BRACES. ALL GOOD NOW, SOLID as a ROCK.

[@colinrodgers5657]

Nice build sir! Really enjoyed the video

[@jeffking9702]

I have access to a lot of hardwood at my work was thinking of using an oak tree 24in in diameter 3 in thick and then welding up a bracket like yours. Thanks for the video!

[@Joogsy4560]

Go 6in thick if you can!

[@michaelpayne7141]

Nice job with making the platform, really like how you did the wood, and looks great. Shame about the wall though.

[@grizzy3727]

Nice HM speed bag.

[@raulzaragoza6524]

I believe this man can do anything

[@kidAaaaa]

This is perfect! I hope I build one someday :/ *you made me smile when I saw you using it for the first time haha. Again, great job and thank you very much!

[@raygsbrelcik5578]

Nice and Sturdy, but personally-- I would go to the hardware store, or a Woodshop and see if I could procure a decent size piece of 3/4" Plywood; Then I would have THEM cut it, since I don't have a garage.

[@sa7038]

Brilliant job, to buy one of those in that style cost a small fortune, so really impressed with your effort. BTW, how are you getting on with the speedbag?

[@jasonhopkins3763]

Thanks mate yes getting on really well with it I’m getting faster and faster

[@HAMMERDOWNFRAMER]

Nice!!

[@123mcgarrigle]

Hi mate, that looks perfect, nice vintage look! How much did it cost you in total? The wood is looking to be about £12 total from Wickes, £8 for 1L of wood adhesive. I just need to figure out how to get/make the bracket, where abouts can I find a welder? And where did you find the metal to do so? Thanks for your help mate, can’t wait to start mine.

[@jasonhopkins3763]

You can get the steel from any local steel stockists I asked them for offcuts so it only cost me £20 I then went to a local small independent body shop garage and it only took him about 10 minutes to weld it it cost me a bottle of red wine

[@user-oq8su7ri8r]

Cananyone tell me the specific name of the steel used. I'm from U.S so it might be different. Please and Thank you.

[@arcadealchemist]

be watching some Alan Khan vids hope your rhythm has improved

[@JStratton87]

How many inches did you cut each piece of wood before you glued it?

[@stackbwagon188]

Hi mate do the thunder bolts not require a wall plug ? My wall is solid concrete, they way u made it was really good mines only 46mm in thickness but it’s easily enough thickness I may get some plywood like you have maybe 2 bits just so it’s 70+mm in thickness what is yours thickness wise ,I’m also going to get some stick like sht and that varnish really nice finish , really good job ,it won’t take long to get better trust me takes time , those brackets are so good that is what I need

[@jasonhopkins3763]

Hi the thunderbolts do not need a wall plug you just need to drill the right size hole for the bolt to thread into good luck mate mine works really well

[@NicRed]

Thats awesome, how are the noise levels Im thinking of building one but need it as quite as possible.

[@jasonhopkins3763]

Hi there is no vibration but they are all noisy best thing to do is go to a gym try one to see how loud it is

[@coco-te1op]

So there are no screws left in the platform to hold the 3x3 timber together after bonding? It's just purely glue ?

[@jasonhopkins3763]

No mate there are no screws left in it’s purely held together with the glue it is so solid

[@coco-te1op]

@@jasonhopkins3763 thankyou

[@luisalbertocastro1226]

Jeniooo bien esplicado

[@domenicsandri2740]

Nice. How did you determine the correct height? For the bag to be a little higher than your head? Is that the level it is supposed to be?

[@jasonhopkins3763]

Hi i set The height of the bag roughly the same height as my head

[@rte66pawnshop]

Probably want to be able to stand under the drum with a lil clearance, for those with "flat" hair, anyway.

[@Combustion47]

Where are The videos of you developing your hand skills on the bag

[@jasonhopkins3763]

I’ve been practising I can now do it I will put a video on soon

Hi I got my wood from Jewson‘s it doesn’t really matter If it’s not exactly the same size

[@SweshyFN]

@@jasonhopkins3763 what do I search? Like what's the wood called?
