Wear hand wraps to protect your knuckles and fingers when using the speed bag. When air is blown into the 3/4' pipe, it travels up, past the membrane, and into the 1/2' pipe. With the bag stretched taut around a 3/4' pipe, the 1/2' body pipe is slid inside and contacts the membrane. The speed bag should hang approximately in front of your eyes. Drones (and the chanter) make sound by vibration of the membrane (the plastic bag). To determine the ideal height of the bag, stand in a fighting position with your fists held level with your eyes. TipsĪ speed bag should be hung at a height appropriate to you. Screw the speed bag mount into the center of the piece of plywood, and loop the speed bag through the metal ring.
This piece will serve as a stabilizer.ĭrill a hole through the three-inch overhang of the two one-foot lengths of each 2 x 4, and measure and drill corresponding holes in a piece of the wall framing in a garage or unfinished basement.įasten the speed bag mount to the frame of the wall using bolts and nuts. If you consider the plywood to be a filled-in letter “U,” the 2 x 4 pieces will run along the parallel sides of the “U.”Ĭut a piece of the 2 x 4 to fit perpendicular between the two one-foot lengths of 2 x 4, and fasten it to the 2 x 4 pieces and plywood with bolts.
so I bought a Jet JWL-1236 wood lathe, chosen because of good reviews and because the ads specifically say it has a hollow tailstock, although for all I know thats a standard feature on all wood lathes. Ensure they hang over the square end of the plywood by three inches. It recently occurred to me that I may be a bagpipe maker. Fasten them with bolts perpendicularly to the plywood, two inches from either end side, after drilling corresponding holes. Cut two, one-foot lengths of the 2 x 4 board.
