Emsquared Posted May 10, 2003 Share Posted May 10, 2003 Nice collection, how heacy are they and have you ever tried to pick them up with either hand without using your wrist, I use one that is about 20lbs and is probably around 4.5 to 5 inches in diameter.

pexter Posted May 10, 2003 Author Share Posted May 10, 2003 I can rotate the 4'' ones clockwise and counterclockwise, after alot of practice.I never weighed them yet.They seem pretty heavy,and after awhile murder on the wrists.They are actually made out of solid chrome.I picked them up at a cement plant.They are used but,I sanded them down on a wheel to smooth them out,and shine 'em up a bit.Alot of crap was on them. Now they work great.Another free of charge item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan McMillan Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Nice shot of the shot's That's a great idea aobut checking out the cement plant. I have a pair of 6lbs shot putts from an athletic distributer and then I have a collection of Tai Chi balls and that's it. I'll have to see if I can find a local factory!!

Jonathan McMillan Posted May 12, 2003 Share Posted May 12, 2003 Sounds good!!! I had been planning on drilling holes in my chineese ones so that I could fill them with lead, but I haven't got around to it. Jon@han Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
