After getting into kettlebells, I’ve discovered Indian clubs and gadas…. I just made an adjustable Gada out of steel pipe, and am just about to ( literally ) turn some Indian clubs on my midi lathe … it only has 15” between centres , so I will have to mill a tenon and a hole and make it in 2 parts .. I’m surprised there are not more videos on making them … great work

Excellent! I agree, there aren't many video out there, yet. I learned by experimentation, but Paul Wolkowinski has a bunch of content and templates for making clubs, if you haven't already checked that out. This video is more for people without a lathe and is somewhat crude but very effective. I'm a fan of DIY! Hope your project turns out well ;)

Yes I’ve been poring over all Paul’s videos … I think I will make some meels and heavier clubs with axe and drawknife and spokeshave … if they turn out well, I’ll post the results haha.. cheers

You need a lot of machineries there ..that's not the spirit..should be handmade without electricity ..right?
@TheBassmentFR6 ай бұрын
Thank you alot Sir. I've recently been getting into this type of training, and I find both the style and the tools pure art. I'd be really interested in some in depth on how you made the first one, carved with machete. And how would you go about making the meels as one solid piece of wood?
@TravisJaneway6 ай бұрын
Glad you found it interesting. Here is a video (also can be found on my channel) of the first club: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGiThoGBbMp6fsk I mostly turn clubs on a lathe these days but finding fully cured, large solid wood for clubs is a challenge so I mostly laminate smaller boards together to make a blank. You can check out my Instagram page @modern_primate for more club info. instagram.com/modern_primate

@TravisJaneway awesome! Thank you for the link. Yeah I was wondering about the curing too. My grandfather was an amazing wood carver, and cured og stored lots of rare woods he'd cut down himself. I also have access to a forest, but I really should read up on the curing of large logs to prevent cracking, rot etc. Thanks for helping me rekindle this passion, I cant wait to get back into it again. He taught me so much as a kid, but I've forgotten most of it. I DO still have his massive 1950s lathe tho!

@@TheBassmentFR Sure thing :) The book "Understanding Wood" by Hoadley is a phenomenal resource! In general (though not a rule) it takes one year per inch for air drying (lots of exceptions ...lots) and a moisture meter is helpful. Mistakes will be made but it's all part of the process. Good luck to you!

@TravisJaneway10 ай бұрын
I've been contemplating putting together a video on that subject. Probably a bit less on the turning process as there are thousands (millions?) of videos on turning. I've learned quite a lot about laminating contrasting wood for clubs over the years and it is bit of a niche topic. I have a large amount of wood stored up so when the rainy season ends, I'll likely put something together.

How are you sir. I’m looking for someone who makes clubs. I need a pair of 12 pound clubs and a pair of 18 pound clubs do you know anyone or do you make them yourself cause I’ll certainly buy them? Any help would be greatly appreciated one of the sets of for a gift for a very close friend
@TravisJaneway2 жыл бұрын
You could check with Rosewater Kinetics (US-ID) but he primarily makes lighter clubs - sometimes in the 12# range. I make clubs but only in my spare time which is sparse these days.

The large ones are 12# / 5.4 kg each and 38" / 96.5 cm tall. Obviously the timber and size you choose will impact the weight significantly.

The big ones were made largely from scrap wood that I collected and only has 10-20$ in materials. I am not currently selling but if you have some time and a few tools, you can make your own for very little.

The tall ones are 11 lbs each / 38" long but you can make them whatever weight/size you like. Since these are made of softwood they are less dense = lighter yet inexpensive and widely available.

Agreed, but it gets shaky at times on the lathe. Definitely worth it when you have the tools.
