How Do You Make A Speed Bag Board?
Speed bags are a great way to train to box or just increase the speed of your hands, and mental and physical reflexes. But while the bags are easy to come by, the boards are not, and often you have to pay a pretty penny to get one. So make your own. Step 1 Pick a place in the house to put your speed bag board. Since it will be constructed of bare wood, and the punching of a bag is loud, you might consider a workout room, the garage, a finished basement or outside under the porch. Step 2 Go to your local lumber home store and either buy a pre-cut round board (about 18″ in diameter) or buy a square board and cut it with a jigsaw to size. Step 3 Take two 2 x 4 x 12-inch boards and screw them in to the table, making sure that they are about 4 to 6 inches in from the side and that you screw upwards through the boxing board first, then into the 2 x 4s. If you do it the other way around, you will have less of a “grip” and the points of the screws will show through. It may help to drill a hole
