Making a grappling dummy?

[Robin Hood]

I'm wondering if anyone can suggest a cheap alternative to purchasing a real grappling dummy?
The fine products on offer in martial arts magazines and online are unfortunately beyond my current budget.
I have heard of guys using a pair of coveralls and filling them with old rags whilst other chaps have told me they just use a heavy bag. I personally think a heavy bag may be OK for practicing striking on the ground but it has no limbs so how do you practice submissions?

Does anyone have any suggestions for a makeshift grappling dummy until I can afford a real one?

Thanks in advance,

Robin

i would just make one out of 2x4's. Seems the cheapest and easiest way. Let me know how it works. Thanks
