If you just want a small weight to carry while jogging you can carry a water bottle in each hand. A quart bottle is about two pounds.
If you want to make your own heavy weight you have to be careful that the weights are well secured so they don't slide off the bar and hit your foot on the way down to the floor. That doctor bill will cancel any savings you made by self-constructing the dumbbells.
Garage sales and Craig's list often have used dumbbells for very low prices. That might be a better approach.
