Mike,
I don't have access to kettlebells but after researching some of the movements I have incorporated some of the basic stuff with dumbells. This doesn't work the grip or flexibility quite the same way but the larger muscle groups of the back, shoulders etc can get a good workout.
Major drawback is the 2 handed swings from between the legs. Dumbells are just too wide for these. The way I accomodated for this was to get a 20" long piece of 2"OD PVC and place plates in the middle and do swings with that way.
The result, GPP has gone up, traps and shoulders feel much better and the rear chain gets nasty work without needing a bunch of weight. Makes my bench feel more stable.

Get premix cement and a fifty gallon bucket. Buy a two inch diameter pipe and two pieces of steel strips about six long. Weld the strips to the pipe (cut the pipe to length first. Pour the cement into the buket and allow to set a while. When its hard enough place the ends of the steel strips into the cement and let the whloe thing cure. Then cut away the bucket and bingo you have a homemade kettlebell.

I''ve never heard of this. I could see this being beneficial for abs and shoulders especially in warm-ups.
