Just made some poles from golf clubs and gatorade caps for baskets. I really wanna learn how to sew and make my own jacket. What gear have you guys homemade/modified including scarfs your grandma made for you?

I made poles out of bamboo and I like them a lot. I put Scott grips and baskets on them though.

Ive converted some poles and shit to various small items. I cut a net pair down for batons and for summer setup poles that are like 12inch big (yes like your huge dick I get it)

you may be better off starting off by making a sweatshirt. Its much easier to get material and sew that. A jacket would be much harder mainly because of water that would get into the seams.

non-metal clubs are a lot easier to daw off the head, unless you know how to take a head off (idk if there is a way)

I drilled a hole into the bottle caps with some sciccors so that the hole was bigger than the pole. I then wrapped duct tape around where i wanted the basket to until it was slightyl thicker that the hole. Shoved the basket on nice and snug


Put more ducttape above to prevent the basket from sliding up.

well see how long until i break em this season

There is a way to take the heads off because people get their clubs reshafted.
