I’m pretty sure bobbi sells permanents b/c I emailed her a while ago and asked. She apparently just gets the spinny flanges from a plumber supply store and buys the pole separate which is where I got the idea for my own pole. I went to grainger.com and ordered 2 ‘ball bearing’ flanges and separately bought an 8 foot brass tube (google "brass tubing"). My DH had to trim the pole a few millimeters (luckily he has a metal cutter) and we put it together. I ordered everything in 38mm (1.5"). LOVE IT!!!! Are you able to go to bobbi’s studio? What I wouldn’t give to return to Australia and spend a week there fine tuning my moves!!!

Wow does she really?? The removable 38mm pole I have from her came in pieces that screw together much like the X-pole. I wonder if her permanent poles are cheaper or the same price as the removable ones…..So, when you bought your brass tubing did you buy just a single piece then? Hmmm…..I’m really thinking about trying to make my own pole now! How did you bolt it to your ceiling? And what do you use for the floor flange?

That’s so fantastic you have trained at her studio, I’m so jealous! I can tell from the way you dance you’re influenced by her! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_cheers.gif I’m in Texas….so I’m very far away but it’s a dream to travel to Australia one day and take some classes at her studio!
