How to make the Weight Plates

This is actually SO easy! You need no experience or skill in working with concrete.

The weights themselves are made from concrete and painted with an epoxy concrete driveway sealer.

1. Get organized:
   
   Gather your materials outside on a non-rainy day or under cover if it is raining.  I worked to a tarp to make cleanup easier.
   
   
   
   So, spread out a tarp, an old sheet or blanket, outside.
   
   
   1. Layout you molds (oil pan, tub, buckets)
   
   
   2. Get you gallon jug of tap water
   
   
   3. Put the bag of cement on the tarp
   .
   
   4. Have your gloves, dust mask (if you have one), plastic trowel laid out.
   
   
   5. Have the pvc pipe, and a saw to cut it handy.
