Cast iron kettle bell
The typical price for a 20 kgs cast iron kettle bell is £50-70. What's
involved in making one? Iron only seems to fetch about 10p per kg at the scrappy. |

The advantage, of course, is you don't need an iron foundry to DIY one. :) |

A bit less toxic too and on par with the density of gold. |

The bottom of the Instructables page, right hand tile, shows a handle modification, with rope and security pins. I don't think much of the rope, but the security pins would probably help. And the position of the security pins is good, as the stress will be distributed better by the handle, further up near the top. You still have to decide what to make the security pins out of, for corrosion resistance. Paul |
