CGCINC Project#4: Dumbbell weight rack

[CGCINC]

now how do you find the time to make all these projects lately?

I don't sleep!!

Naaa, these are simple projects...Well, not the concrete fountain, that one was a 2 month process late this fall.
But the others didn't take long to make.

My next project is in the works.....

I just wondered with all the projects when do you find time and energy to use use all the workout equipment? Your weight rack and your welding table look like they were well designed and built.

lol, probably not as often as I should!

I've been thinking about building a squat rack. I think I'll give it a go if I can find 12ga unistrut locally for a reasonable price. I don't think I'd be down for drilling all the holes for adjustable safetys.

on that preacher bench, are you planning on making a plate loader like that one, or just a bench?


That's a pretty impressive Gym you've got there, though. Really makes me wish there were basements in Texas; of all the things I miss about Michigan, that rates pretty highly.

Oh no, it will be Exactly like the one in the pic.
I've been pricing all the metal and different parts I need for it and it's expensive. I found the machine for $329 on Amazon which is less than it will cost me to build but I really like building things and it will give me something to do.
I'm still working out the details but I'm ordering some Steel today to get started.

No basements??? Because of flooding? I couldn't live without a basement!!

High tech engineering!!

I was curious whether you liked the plate load arm vs say an EZ curl bar. I like EZ curls a lot, but I guess you could build the EZ hand grip into that design. I guess the benefit of that kind of design is you can increase your weight side lever arm so you can do more with less plates.

I can't tell from your notes, are you going to use a bearing in the pivot?
