How To Make a Base for Your Cobra Bag from $35

Watch the videos below for a step-by-step guide on making a base for your Kewlus cobra bag from around $35. This type DIY base is ideal for any of the Kewlus Core kits.

Please watch the video first, before buying parts.

Parts:

• 4 or more square shape 1'6" (450mm) wide MDF Boards or Particle Boards (as thick as possible);
• Wood glue - either PVA glue or Liquid Nails glue; and
• 8 x 2 inch (50mm) countersunk screws.

Watch the video for other parts that you may need if making further enhancements, like adding wheels.

Tools:

• Saw for cutting the boards (if not pre-cut to size);
• Drill and drill bit fro pre-drilling the holes (3mm thick bit for the 5mm thick screws); and
• Screwdriver.

Instructions:

Follow the instructions in the video below. If you have any questions, ask them in the comments section under the YouTube video.

I'd love to know your thoughts and ideas on this DIY base and if you made or plan on making one - let me know in the comments of the video!

Adding Extra Height

I recommend starting with a base that is at least 3 inches thick. In the following video I started with a 3 inch version then glued a two inch version to the top to make a 5 inch version - great for taller fighters (I'm 6'11"). The extra height greatly enhances performance and allows me to use the absolute fastest setting (shortest top section). Check it out!

This video is the 3rd part of a 3-part series where I show how to make a complete, fast DIY cobra bag. In this last part I show how to make the most cost effective version of the base using chipboards and adding extra hight by using the offcuts. It's a clever design that incorporates a simple handle, allowing for mobility with the addition of castor wheels.
