My brother got me one of those water-core 70# bags for christmas and I need to get it hanging - a bag on the floor being mighty inconvenient.

I have checked all the local sports shops and none offer a brace to hang the bag, even though they sell bags! The one that I did see was for one of those little round things the boxers use, but the store was asking $100 for the blamed thing.

I don't see the need to pay that kinda money for a brace, but do need some ideas if I'm to build one or have one built. Anything I shouldn't do? Is using the bottom tie-down advised?
