- This is my diy wooden power rack. I had to build it myself, since the ceiling in my garage is not high enough for the usual commercial racks. For a comfortable and a safe handling, I bought the spotter arms, j-hooks and the pullup-bar.
Because some people asked: Here is the link to the mini saw: Amazon article number: ASIN:B000U6T0GO Mini Saw Guide

That is by far the best wooden squat rack I've seen on you tube. Fantastic job!
Beautifully made
Great work Tim, I have a half rack steel and half wood because i changed my mind and modify the half steel rack. i also anchor the rack to the wall for safety.I use the metal side for heavy lifting. Its very cool.
That'd be a cool video.
Genau sowas brauchen wir zuhause. Richtig cooles Teil. Werde ich mir mal überlegen zu bauen 👍🏻👍🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 die winkle könnte ich bei uns in der Firma fräsen 👍🏻
Hast du top gemacht 👍😎
Amazing job
This is remarkable craftsmanship!
Hey, thank you. ;-)
@@tims.2832 Do you know where I can find the plans for this, I would like to make it too?
@@ryanla142 Hi Ryan, I actually postet a photo of a rough plan (more a sketch) at insta under "istts", since I don´t know how to ad a photo to an existing video or in the comments here.
Great job man, this is the best rack i saw in youtube
;-) thanks.
Yep the best one on RUclips !
thx
Bro, you maked exellent power rack. Thanks for your advice. And hi from Kazakhstan)
Hey, thank you. Thats cool about YT, getting in touch with people all over the globe.
Best wooden power rack from you tube
Manchmal ist es eine Kleinigkeit die alles anders macht. Die J - Hooks und anderen Aplikationen aus Metall mit einem Holz Rack ist eine sehr vernünftige und coole Idee !
thanks for posting
Ome of the best videos!

Perfect
Sauber gearbeitet, klasse ;)
Danke.
This is the best quality one on youtube. great idea to stick with purchased j hooks and pull up bar. i wonder if there is a way of making quality cement weights now?
In fact I thought about cement weights, but for ones that really work, that look good, that don´t degenerate in a short time, the effort is almost more that taking the bitter pill of the high price of iron weights. And keep in mind, iron weights keep their value, you can sell them again, other than any cement stuff.
@@tims.2832 i agree but unfortunately everywhere here they have sold out. ill probably make some until the gyms open back up.
@@dominicdavidson9919 You´r right, same here in Germany, I searched some online stores. You get either no plates any more or you get only bad deals (overpriced) or plates you need rarely (0,25 kg, 0,125 kg). I´m in making a new video to a doubleendbag-stand with a cheap but nice looking cement weight. I was surprised, how easy it is to make cement weights.
I must admit my thinking was very all diy or none, all wood and plumbing pipe versus store bought but I don't weld so how would I make a pull up bar with those grip options and metal gussets do seem like a better idea...and metal, commercial J cups make some sense too.
So you got me thinking about a hybrid approach and I think more people should actually...
Thanks.
Great job bro super like by Warmachine bodybuilding of garage Gym italy
By far the best rack out there and I've seen almost all of them. However, some of the cuts need more expansive tools :/ What are the metal sheets you used?
Hi Yokino, thank you. I bought normal steel sheets (not stainless), 3mm strong, different square sizes.
Nice
Great vid! Rack looks great! Where did you get the J cups?
Thank you. The accessories are from a german fitness equipment store, but it was already b-stock years ago, they don´t sell it anymore. Some time ago I found equivalent j-cups for 80mm posts. I would choose 80x80mm today, if I had to rebuild it.
Die Technische Zeichnung dazu wäre super gewesen.
Top Arbeit ✌️
Danke. Ich habe zumindest mal die Maße, hier: instagram.com/p/CBaHe9uhOOS/?
I like the fact you used actual j hooks. Where did you get them from?
That´s the weak spot of most other diy racks, imo: If the accessories don´t feel comfortable to handle, that can become annoying over the time. And we all know, how hard our inner couch potato is to fight. I bought the accessories at megafitness.shop, but it was back in 2017. The might not have exactly the same today, but I saw they have jhooks for 80x80 posts.
Awesome work to bad we can't buy a pre drill rack kit from you
Hahaha, great, thank´s. Me, drilling holes all day long ;-)
Tim . .This is the best engineered version I have ever seen. Danke, das ist genug fur Heute?
Hey, danke ;-)
Love it. Any estimate on costs (not counting tools)? Thx.
a rough calculation: The wood was 5,20 € /meter, so about 75 €. Metal plates (before cutting) aprox 20,- €, a pack of 10mm bolts and nuts 20,- €, paint 20,- €, safety bars, j-hooks, monkey bar and dipbars 200,- € (found them as B-stock on the internet back in 2017).
Hallo, welches maß haben die Balken? Sehr interessantes Teil... Ich bedaure fast das ich mir ein fertiges gekauft habe. Respekt!
Hallo Daze, danke. Balken sind 74 mm, einfache kiefer oder fichte. Heute würde ich das nur wenig teurere Leimholz nehmen.
Nice rack! May I know where you buy the j hook, dip bar and pull up bar? Thanks.
Hey, thanks. I bought this as b-stock years ago, in an online store in Germany. They don´t sell this any more, unfortunately. I think they don´t even sell this diameter (75mm), only 80mm or 70mm.
Could you link where you bought your J hooks? I can’t find any that fit 4x4 wood
The accessories were bought at megafitness.shop in 2017, they might not have exactly those any more, but last time I visited the site there were some for 80x80mm posts.
Tim S. I can’t seem to find anything in the US that would fit 4 x 4 posts. Do you have any suggestions?
@@andrewfaber3927 Yeah, I know. Quite some viewers sad that. Its in fact the only real challenge - to find affordably j-hooks, pullup-bar and dipbars. If you shoot them, your almost done. At a German store, you could at least get j-hooks for 80x80mm post. That would be slightly stronger than my ones in the video, which are 74x74. 80x80 would be better, viewed from today.
Hello can i ask...u drill use forstner bit, did it can go through 4x4 wood? Or u dril upside and then otherwise the bottom side? Thanx
Hi, my forstner drill went right through, it was just long enough
Hallo Tim,
tolles Video !
Wäre echt super wenn du nochmal ein deutsches Video dazu machen könntest mit einer genauen Anleitung dazu. Interessant wäre zu wissen welche Maße das Holz am Anfang hatte und was für Equipment du für den Bau benötigt hast. Ebenfalls wäre es toll zu wissen welche genaue Art von Holz du benutzt hast etc. und was es dich schlussendlich auch gekostet hat.
LG
Hi Adoralin, mal schauen, wann ich dazu komme. Macht natürlich Sinn... Grüsse
Deine Konstruktion sieht richtig super aus. Respekt.
Wäre nur super wenn du verraten könntest, woher du die Klimmzugstange und die Ablage-Halterung für das Rack her hast. Danke im voraus
Danke. Das Zubehör habe ich etwa 2017 bei megafitness im Abverkauf gefunden. Inzwischen haben die das wohl nicht mehr, dafür aber andere J-Hooks und Zubehörteile, manche Sachen für 80er Pfosten, da muss man immer nach den Maßen schauen.
The design of the unions is awesome. I liked them a lot. Do you have a blueprint of them to share? I would really appreciate it. Thank you.
Hi Ricardo, thank you. I do not have my sketches anymore, but I measured it again: The triangular shaped brackets are 25cm wide, 21 cm tall, 3mm thick.
@@tims.2832 thank you Tim. What about the little step they have? What's the size of it? I think that's what makes they really unique.
@@ricardogutierrezrocha1752 Hi Ricardo, the steps are going 1cm outwards, are 5cm wide.
Looks great! Did you mill the lumber to 2x2 (in.) thickness to fit the accessories? Or were you able to buy it like that where you are?
Hi Nick, I purchased it already with 74mm thickness. The accessories are for 75mm posts. Keep in mind, that cheap wood shrinks a little, my lumber is 72mm now.
@@tims.2832 Where did you get the plans for your rack?
@@gagelange7024 I couldn´t use any plans off the peg, because the ceiling in my cellar is very low. Furthermore, I had to chose a short barbell, due to space limitations again. I hat to figure out the measurements on my own.
@@tims.2832 Can you link where you bought the attachments?
@@gagelange7024 I posted the link somewhere in the comments, but it was a B-stock-buy and years ago, so I´m not sure if they still sell it on this place.
Cooled video.💪 die j hooks sind ja glaube ich von Atx könnest du mir sagen welches modell die sind also serie 500,600....
Und sie die Holzbalken 10cm×10cm?
Danke, zu den jhooks weiß nich nur noch, dass sie für 75x75er Pfosten sind. Die waren B-Ware, 2017. Lagen lange bei mir rum, bevor ich damit das Rack gebaut habe. Derzeit hat megafitness wohl nur einzelne jhooks für 80x80er Pfosten. Die Balken waren Kiefer 74x74, sind aber etwas geschrumpft auf ca. 72.
@@tims.2832 Okay, danke
Where did you buy your j-hook/cups? I built a 4x4 power rack but don’t want to use black pipe, I don’t want to ruin my bars.
Hi, thanks, I bought all accessories for 75x75mm gauge in 2017 at megafitness.shop. Today, they seem to have only some for 80x80mm uprights, no 75x75mm anymore.
Max weight? I normally squat about 275 lbs. If i pullup with weighted vest that is close to 300 lbs...just wondering..nice design. Great job.
Same design, but better wood than I used and you should be good to go...
Great job, I’ve tried to replicate but I’m struggling to source the 100mm safety attachments. Could you post up a link?
Thank you. Unfortunately, I don´t have a link. I bought my accessories years ago as b-stock at a German online store, but they don´t sell those parts anymore. My first guess would be to try second hand plattforms.
Hello Great work Mr.Tim
I have few questions though if you don't mind.
1). Can I use the uprights on top of the base wood without using lap joints (Meaning simply attaching the 3mm sheet metal on both sides and bolting them together?)
2) Should I really need to use lap joints or any other joints? What will happen if I didn't use?
3) My project is a simple Squat rack with a pull-up bar (Just with 2 uprights) Is it possible with your method?
4) what is the Bore diameter for attaching JCups and Dip bar? And Bore center distance between bores ?
5) And as for Hardware did you use M10 or M12 ? If either one is then what is the drill Diameter for using M10 or M12 ?
Thanks in advance for your patience 👍
Thanks, Peter. I think, you don´t need lap joints. They do not add much to the rack (since I didn´t glue anything). What really matters are the metal brackets at the bottom, because they make the uprights really, really stiff in back-forth-direction. And really important are corner brackets in the top corners, for left-right-stiffness. For example, triangles from sheet metal, as big as it fits to the rack. Bore diameter is 25mm, distance 80mm. I used m10, that is more than enough.
@@tims.2832 Thank you very much Mr.Tim
just one more question though.. What wood is best for a squat rack outdoors? strong enough ? Here in India we have Pine, Rose Wood etc
Where did you buy the top pull up bar attachment and what is the measurement of it? Would it fit on my Buff Dudes power rack?
Hi Dexter, in some German fitness equipment store, but years ago as b-stock, they don´t sell that anymore.
Would you be willing to link where you got the j hooks and spotter arms to fit the 4x4's?
Hey Peter, I´m sorry, I bought the accessories years ago as b-stock in a German fitness store. They don´t sell it anymore. But I would recommend to go for 80mm posts anyway (mine are 75mm) and look for 80mm-accessories.
It looks great and I don't wanna be that guy but for me personally my question is will it be able to withstand bodybuilder/powerlefter weight
Thanks for the comment. No, my current model is made from very affordable wood, spruce or pine. It was kind of a test for me. It isn´t designed for heavy loads. It is easy to disassemble, so I can take it with me in case I move. But that compromises the payload on the other hand (bcs no wood glue, no wood screws, no dowels).
@@tims.2832 It should be fine. The Buff Dudes design held over 1000# spanning two bars. Their bracing was 4x4s with 45-deg miter cuts. Yours should have no problem supporting half that. Especially with the steel bracing.
Will it be possible to concet rogue spotter arms to this ?
If my hole will be same mm
Btw how do i mesure wide of plate hole thanks
Hi mesiroy1234: Yeah, you would have to figure out the exact dimensions of the rogue spotter arms, especially their bolts that go into the uprights. If you could copy the hole-pattern of the rogue rack (e. g. every second hole), that might perhaps work. You´ll have to look for the specs of your desired accessories.
Hey man, what is the link for the spotter bar arms. Thanks.
Unfortunately, the fitness equipment store where I bought the accessories (several years ago) doesn´t sell them anymore. But you can find similar equipment and, even better, for 80mm posts. Mine are 74mm (shrunk to 72mm), which is still ok, but if I had to build it now, I would go with 80mm lumber. Grüße, Tim
Klasse Rack, mit den Metallplatten mal ne andere aber wirklich schöne Lösung!
Wo hast du die J Hooks und Spotter Arme gekauft? Passen die für 10x10 Kanthölzer?
Danke. Die Anbauteile habe ich vor langem bei einem online-Fitnessversandt als Auslauf-Ware bekommen, die haben das aber leider nicht mehr. Habe schon gesucht. Die Teile passen für 75x75mm. Wenn ich das nochmal bauen würde, dann lieber in 80x80mm.
@@tims.2832 Hab mein Rack aus 100x100mm gebaut, dafür ist es scheinbar schwer J Hooks zu finden.
Die DIY Lösung funktioniert zwar wunderbar, aber ist Metall. Also auf Dauer für die Hantel nicht so toll.
Sehr geil.
Was hast du bezahlt für die Materialien?, was für Holz ist das welche Maße hat das Holz? Kvh 8x8?.
Hast du ein link zu den j hooks und sefetie bars?.
Extrem geil, Respekt dafür.
Hi, danke. Kosten habe ich leider nicht erfasst. Das Holz war Kiefer oder Fichte vom Baumarkt, 74mmx74mm gehobelt. Das war schon recht billig. 3mm Stahlplatten von Ebay, war auch ok. Schrauben + Muttern von einem Versand, ca. 20 Euro, erheblich günstiger als Baumarkt. Die Anbauteile gabs ein oder zwei Jahre vor dem Bau mal als B-Ware bei einem Fitness-Onlinestore. Die haben das aber nicht mehr, habe schon mehrmals geschaut. Das Zeug lag dann lange bei mir rum, bis ich das Projekt angefangen habe. Aber ich nutze es seit dem Bau wirklich oft, das Ding hat sich so was von rentiert. Ich bin auch froh, für die schwer beladene Langhantel nicht so fummelige DIY-JHooks hingewurstelt zu haben. Über die kommerziellen JHooks braucht man halt nicht nachzudenken. Grüße, tim
@@tims.2832 Top danke dir 👌
Ich werde es jetzt nächsten Monat auch nachbauen, die jhooks hole ich mir auch bei ATX und mache aber dann 80x80 so habe ich im atx store einiges an Auswahl.
Bin gespannt wie es wird, danke für die schnelle Antwort.
Hast du einen onlineshop link für den Schrauben Meister?, sowas noch nie online gekauft.
@@davidbaseler6047 Ich meine, das war Frantos.com. Die waren für die M10-Bolzen und Versand recht günstig.
Where did you find j hooks to fit 4x4 wood!? Reply pls
Hey Allen, unfortunately, the accessories aren´t sold any more where I bought it years ago. It was b-stock back then, but they dont´t have it anymore. Perhaps you find something for 80mm posts, I would go for 80mm today.
Looks awesome! I am thinking of doing one and I have some questions.
How many millimeters (mm) are the holes of the accessory beams?
How many centimeters are the beams?
Do you know the total measurements of the rack? (height, width and depth)
If you have to make de rack again, will you improve something?
Thanks a lot
Thanks Caulas, the holes are 26mm, the beams are 7,4cm thick. Total measurements are h:2150mm, w:1230mm outside, d: 1370mm. Next time, I would invest in some better wood.
@@tims.2832 Thanks for your help! nice work by the way.
@@tims.2832 When you say better wood, do you mean larger or just better grade? I see so many others on RUclips use 4x4 but 75mm lends itself to off the shelf j hooks and spotter arms like you did, but I'm worried it won't be strong enough. How much weight have you tested this with?
@@habzzz Two things: take better grade wood, it’s worth it. Second: always choose dimensions according to available j-hooks and safety bars. I’m so happy to have commercial hooks. But affordable ones are rare, so go for safety accessories first, then adjust dimensions. Btw, my cheap pine still does fine. But I’m no power lifter, so perhaps consider this too.
Where did you purchase your j cup attachments?
I bought them as b-stock in 2017 at megafitness, a German gym equipment store. They might not have exactly my j-hooks, but they sell some for 80mm posts.
Hallo Tim. Boah super Arbeit! Gratulieren! Ne Frage, wo hast du die JCups und die Dip Barren besorgt? LG
Hey danke, die Zubehörteile hatte ich vor etlichen Jahren als B -Ware in einem deutschen online Store gekauft. Ich hatte einige Zeit später mal nachgesehen, die verkaufen das leider nicht mehr einzeln.
Ach nein! So ein Pech! Ich hab auch so einen Power Rack aus Holz (mit 80x80mm Pfosten) gebaut und suche ewig passende Dip Barren und endlich habe ich die beste Idee auf deinem Video gefunden. :(
Can you provide source for J hooks and precise measurement of your main studs? Thanks
Hi, it´s 2150mm tall, the whole thing is 1080 wide (inner width, outside + 2times 74mm). The distance between the studs (inner) is 698mm.
@@tims.2832 Thanks, are the studs 4x4? And are the Jhooks custom made or bought?
Studs are 74x74mm, Jhooks are bought long time ago, they were sold as b-stock by some German fitness store. I had the accessories lying around for 2 years, before I finally started building the rack.
Where do you buy the piece in brace at minute 2.28?
Hi Marco, the triangular plates are made by myself, the nuts and bolts are from an online dealer "frantos.de"
Who makes those j-hooks?
Wie groß sind die Löcher von Balken und von wo haben Sie die Dip-Halterungen und Auflageflächen her?
Hi, die Löcher sind 26mm, damit die Bolzen mit 25mm gut reinpassen. Die Dib - Halterungen und die Auflageflächen habe ich als B-Ware im Internet gekauft, leider gibt es die im Internet zur Zeit nicht mehr. Ich wollte nämlich noch zusätzliche J - Hooks hinzu kaufen, habe aber keine mehr gefunden. Wenn du auch so ein Rack bauen willst, dann würde ich als erstes die Zubehörteile im Internet suchen und danach die Größe der Löcher, der Pfosten und der sonstigen Maße orientieren. Viel Glück
what's the diameter of the holes were the J hooks attach? 1"? or 3/4", oder auch in mm ist kein Problem. Danke!
Thats 25mm or, or 1". The bolts of the accessories are almost 25mm, so it´s not jamming.
I thought you might tell us where to get the j hooks?
I bought them pretty cheap as b-stock in 2017 at megafitness, a German fitness store. Unfortunately, I havn´t found those hooks for 75mm posts. But good news, they still sell separately the more beefier ATX J-hooks for 80mm posts.
Is there anything I can do to prevent creaking like this? (planning on building something like this in my 2nd floor apartment)
If you got to be very quiet when using it, I wouldn’t mind that much about a creaking ever so slightly. The noise when loading a barbell with plates or putting plates back on the floor or putting a heavy barbell into the j-hooks might be more of an issue under this circumstance. Perhaps some isolating floor mats under the rack would help.
@@tims.2832 Thank you for the fast response! I just bought a Titan Fitness Sphere Grip Pull-Up Bar that I want to make a frame for (similar to this) My goal is to make a frame with only a vertical knee/dip station with the pullup bar that I bought. However, I need to minimize/eliminate creaks/noise.
I also plan on using 3/4" plywood (or potentially other material) as the base, as well as some floor mat material on top of it.
Do you know if there is any way to further decrease wood creaking from the wood shifting around during use? Thank you!
Here is a "side view" diagram of the layers:

layer 2: some sort of floor mat material

Hi sir. What are the big bracing you are using?
Hi, you mean those on the feet of the rack? They are cut out of 3mm steel plates.
Tim S. Did you buy them from somewhere? I like the ones on the feet and at the top of the rack :)
Hallo!
Würdest du mir bitte schreiben welche Balkengröße du genommen hast und wie groß die Löcher für die Jayhooks sind.
Vielen Dank schon mal vorab.
Dein Power Rack ist richtig klasse.
Hallo Emiliano, Balken sind 74mm stark, 2150mm lang. Die Löcher haben einen Durchmesser von 26mm, damit die Bolzen der JHooks mit 25mm nicht klemmen. Hätten die Löcher 25mm Durchmesser, wäre es sehr mühsam, die JHooks zu wechseln.
Tim S.
Super Cool, vielen Dank!
Darf ich dich noch fragen welche JHooks hast du gekauft?
Das war B-Ware als Sonderposten von einem Fitness-Versand, Megafitness heißt der Shop. Für 75er Pfosten.
Tim S. Vielen Dank!
Where did you buy the J Hooks?
please see my other answer to your question
Where did you get the metal bracing parts?
I bought square steel plates cheap at the well known online place for used things, then cut the plates in my desired form with a jigsaw and designated metal cutting blades. Be aware, that you will need some more blades, since 3mm steel is a tough one for those tiny blades.
Tim S. Thank you!!
Do you have blu prints for it
Indeed, here it is: instagram.com/p/CBaHe9uhOOS/?
Is it the gopro or is that rack curvy 😃 JK, looks amazing!
Man, I‘m so happy to have built this rack since corona is still an issue and I can workout in my garage.
hey man do You use 2x4 ir 4x4.. ? thanks
Hi David, the wood is 74mmx74mm, that should be around 3x3. That´s fine for me, but if sbd is more on the heavy lifter side, 4x4 would be my recommendation. But you would have to find the accessories fitting 4x4 then, of course.
@@tims.2832 ok thanks a lot Man
what wood did you use
That was spruce or pine, the most affordable wood. I would use slightly better wood today, perhaps laminated timber.
Hey boss, is it ok to ask for the measurements for this PowerRack of yours? :) Wanted to build one, this time I think I have really enough time to build this lol
Hi Joseph, thank you. I found an old plan, here´s the scan: instagram.com/p/CBaHe9uhOOS/?
@@tims.2832 Thank you so much Tim. Really appreciate it! :)
Where did you buy all the accessories?
Andriy Kostiw This was sold as B-Stock from a German Store I found on the Internet. Must be 2-3 years ago, the accessories had minor defects that aren’t bothering me. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the seller. But perhaps you want to look in your area anyway.
@@tims.2832 yeah, its just hard finding attachments that will fit a 4 by 4
In my case the beams are 3 by 3 (75mm x 75mm). I searched the net and found e. g. this site (www.megafitness.shop/outlet), which sells attachments (j-hooks, spotter-arms) that fit 3 by 3.
@@tims.2832 Great build thanks for sharing. How is the rack holding up? Anything you would change about it now that you have been using it?
@@mpkeller Hi Mark, thanks. The rack is still rock solid. Due to the design of the feet, it is totally stiff back to forth, but has some slight movement side to side. That does not affect stability, it is more a cosmetic kind of thing. Next time I would take into account, that the cheap spruce wood from the local hardware store will be shrinking a little bit. The hooks and the safety bars are for 75mm uprights, now the wood has aprox 71mm diameter. That´s still no issue, the hooks and bars are secure anyway, but it would be nicer with 74mm wood. And since the design is working so well, I could have invested in hard wood or at least better wood.
Is that 4x4 post?
Hi, that´s 74mmx74mm.
And the dips extension?
Hi Steven, I bought all the accessories in 2017 as b-stock from a fitness equipment store, megafitness.shop, for 75x75mm posts. I´m not sure if they still do, but at least they have accessories for 80x80mm. Since quite some viewers reminded me, that my rack is designed rather for light workouts, 80x80 would be a good "upgrade" perhaps. With better wood and 80x80mm, the design could handle way more payload.
where did you get the pullup bar
Years ago in a german fitness online store, but it was a special, some b-stock, they are not selling it any more.
@@tims.2832 oh how did you attach it to the power rack
@@stev3457 Once you get a (used?) pullup bar, you will find that it is prepared for easy attaching to this kind of racks, there are predrilled holes etc. You can use bolts and hexnuts.
What's the name of that saw guide at 1:21
And where did you get those metal braces at ?
You should find it with this: Mini-Saw Guide with LIFESAW Mini Kataba Saw.
@@tims.2832 thanks brotha
Nice but with your skill and talent I would have just went out and bought 3 inch square tubing and built a all metal rack. Those j hooks were at least 200.00
thank´s, man. But I do not own a welding device and helmet, gloves, gas etc. And even if I did, never welded so far. Perhaps I´m better off with the wood. But thank you, though.
@@tims.2832 I had the same thought process as you and built one in wood. Greetings from Belgium.
@@christiansigrist9244 Hi Christian, how did you solve the j-hooks: Did you buy them or did you actually built your own?
Nice, but I cried when I saw the paint going on the wood. A missed opportunity for a light-colored stain to show off that wood! So sad.
Good point, I was actually thinking about that, leaving it with a wood finish. On the other hand, it is very cheap wood, looks better on video than in real live. At the end, I’m fine with the dark color.
Looks great,not sure it would handle 400+ pounds.
nor do I ;-)
Lo que no me convence triángulos de metal,minuto 1.03, si te caes eso corta como un cuchillo.
Hi Victor, edges of the brackets are rounded off.
Would i be able to have supplies and blueprint
Hi Michael, unfortunately I do not have sketches anymore. But I don´t think they would help you anyway. My ceiling is pretty low and I chose a very small barbell, that made the design of my rack smaller than you might want to have it. Here is my advise for your measurements: Choose your favorite barbell. Find the width of the grip section of the barbell of your choice. The outer width of the rack must be smaller that the grip section of your favorite barbell (in order to fit properly on the j-hooks, the weight plates must be outside the rack of course). 10cm smaller on each side would be fine. Thats the most crucial dimension. The rest is up to your taste (given, your ceiling heigth is not a problem too).
just buy a real rack , a decent one is 500 bucks , thats alot of work for a wood rack and looks shifty
