This has got to be the cheapest and simplest build to date

all parts can be found at Home Depot for around $15

aluminum tube $5

here is a tip plug one end of the tube fill with water then plug the other end freeze the tube when you go and bend it around something round the ice will keep the tube from crushing or kinking



So once you have the tube bent take the aluminum strip you cut and align it up and Mark your holes then drill and counter sink them use your rivet tool to join the metal peices




Do the same for the top support as well.



Finaly ls wrap the bottom support around you d-loops I used a hammer a flat bar fotr he tight inside bend.




Sewn the the straps on I should have the clasps soon

When it comes to bending it, can you just flex it? Or is it dense enough where you need to whack it?

I will when I bend it. Now it's just conduit in el garage. I'm gonna try the sand route as I don't have a way to freeze it.

I gotta say, that is legit af. the only thing i can think of is that if you make another in the future, see if you can find some square rings for the belt.

How about for the main tube? And how long did you let it freeze for?

Takes maybe an hour. Leave the upright end of the tube unplugged, and let the expansion of the frozen water protruding from that end tell you when it's ready.
