    The face...

    I made this uppercut bag out of an old footstool a couch cushion and ALOT of duct tape, or as it is known in the Rio Grande Valley, mexican gold.

            I really like the Deep thud of that bag on the wall. The sounds really accentuates the fist contact, and looks devasting....
