Let's make a wrist strap, shall we?

This design is simple and allows the user to change the load easily.

For this piece of equipment you will need :

  • a cylindrical piece of wood (5 cm diameter)
  • a fastening strap (2.5 meters x 2 cm)
  • velcro tape
  • a wood saw
  • a wood varnish
  • a paint brush
  • a needle
  • some thread
  • scissors
  • a weight disk as a load
  • glue
  • measuring tape

Prepare the Wooden Handle

Measure with your measuring tape a piece of wood approximately 40 cm long.

Cut this piece with the wood saw. This will be the handle of the device.

Paint it with the varnish of your choice using the paint brush. I painted it with a clear varnish.

Glue a Velcro Strip to the Wood

Encircle the piece of wood with a strip of velcro tape and glue it on. Which side it doesn't matter for now.

Prepare the Fastening Strap

Measure another piece of velcro tape. It will be as long as needed to encircle the velcro tape strip used in the previous step. Cut in length with scissors.

Now take caution to expose the correct side of the velcro tape. This will be the opposite side from that exposed previously. These pieces of velcro need to lock together.

Use the needle and the thread and fasten the strip of velcro tape at the end of the fastening strap.

Loop the Strap
