I coudnt / cant (at present) afford to buy a makiwara, so have dismantled part of my weights bench, and used the padding and fixed it to the shed wall, (reinforced of course)
Unfortuneately, the sound of impact is magnified by the timber frame of the shed, and can be heard on the other side of our estate.
I really need something outside, but dont have the private space...............

I guess I will save up next year and get a proper one, but siting it, well, perhaps I will just have to move,
