Drill a hole through each end of each pipe, the same diameter as your clothing line hooks, I put the center of each hole at about 1" from the threading.



I put epoxy onto the threads of the clothing line hooks where the nuts were going to sit, just to reassure myself that the nuts wouldn't migrate during use.



Put the clothing line hooks through the pipe with one nut on each side of the pipe, and tighten them with pliers or a wrench. And you're set! That's it.



To use: Put a barbell, or preferably an EZ curl bar into the hooks. This setup basically gives you a portable suitcase-style handle for a barbell, which is perfect for farmers walk. Load up your plates onto the barbell, put on some clips, and hook your handles on. Easy stuff.



I'll get a picture up on here shortly of the handles in use, just to demonstrate the final idea.
