Very cool that you included your daughter on this. Let me tell you, you never forget spending time with Dad doing Dad stuff and helping out. Thanks for sharing :)
I sat and watched this whole video with absolutely no plan to build it. In fact, I don’t even know how to use a power tool. I just couldn’t stop watching! Great video!
I was literally shopping on Amazon for one of these last week, but I hadn't bought one yet - then I ran across this video. Put it on the "Watch Later list" and went through the holiday weekend. I started watching it Monday morning and liked it a few minutes in, 'cause I think you've just saved me a lot of money. When your "Young Boss" showed up, I wished I could like it all over again. It's really touching to see good quality time spent teaching children, especially girls, to use tools and not be helpless, and even better to show good quality time spent by loving dads! She will cherish these times for the rest of her life. You've got a new sub from me!
Been following you for a minute. Being a new father myself it was awesome to see you work on this project with your daughter to give me an idea of what I have to look forward to in the future!
Hell yeah. Doing projects where your kid bears some essential task or responsibility is a great way for them to build skills and confidence, as well as bond
We need more RUclipsrs doing “where I’m at” It just gives it another dimension.. i mean, I feel like iv wasted my whole life without “where I’m at!” 😆👍
You’re definitely my favourite DIY RUclipsr. Wish you’d put up more content because I crave it. Someone give this guy a TV contract or a huge sponsorship please?
Just love your work, enthusiasm, attention to detail, and design eye. No shortcuts. This entire build feels strong and inspires confidence. Thanks so much.
I think a dark grey or dark stain would look great on the exposed wood pieces, however, leaving it exposed brightens up the room and makes the space feel bigger. Great job!
Made me smile. Before I was able to afford a real home gym setup I built something really similar using 4x4's and black pipe. I even put a post across the top and strung cable, using garage door pulleys, to set up a system where I had both a pull down and a low row pulley machine. Built my bench out of 2" black pipe and plywood, with high density foam on top. Worked great. I got up to squatting 320 and it held the weight without any problem.
I'm so glad you had your "Little Helper" there. She's a Beautiful Young Lady, and from what I seen she knows how to "boss you around 😁". Love the project, instructions and video. Thank You!!!
This is my first time watching. I’m so impressed. I’ve seen a lot of similar makers but never seen threaded inserts or a diagram to show where you’re working before.
Your skills and knowledge are amazing. "Where I'm at" should be the new standard for every DIY video on RUclips. If I could have hit like for every new tip and technique you used, the counter would be 100+.
This is such a great idea! Also your little one is beautiful. There is nothing better then having your kids help. My daughters are ALWAYS in the garage with me.
So much love and thought went until this. 👍🏽 Plus great memories with you daughter and her own good eyes and hands are put to this project. A triumph DIY!
So glad to see you back my goodness it's been awhile and little bit has grown up so much y'all stay safe God bless peace be with you keep these videos Rockin
I would suggest using solid metal rods and not hollow ones. This guy is crazy. One good drop with some decent weight and you will see what happens to that bar. There is a reason at the gym they are so thick and solid.
I just love to see you ideas come to life right before my eyes and being a Dad myself to seeing your little girl join in is everything. Happy Father's Day to you!
chin up bar thought: too much flex, should maybe be through the side uprights in the same fashion as the through hooks, with a coupler, would reduce deflection, and maybe avoid those wood screws snapping off, since i'm sure that's going to happen at some point. side note; a standard pine 2x4 is rated to something like 700lbs. 2x6's are more than enough to work as a base material for this sort of thing.
He's got t-nuts on the backside and threaded inserts on the uprights. He'll break the wood before the screws break. Those pan heads have several hundred lbs in sheer strength.
@Dallas its not if, it's when. and they'll probably pop their heads. i've seen it. heck, i've seen heads on those pop more than any other single method of breaking/deformation. and the way this is set up, most of the load is resting on those heads, and is partially pulling out, and partially down, which would give a diagonal sheer. pretty sure its going to fail sooner, rather than later. if it was a static load, like the weight storage bars? probably last for years and years. but adding in a dynamic randomish motion load like a chin up bar has, nah. its going to fail. a through hole setup would solve the entire issue and spread the load across the frame entirely vs those 8 screws heads.
@@kenabi Yea, it will pop eventually, especially since the force at an angle is always in flux, it's not like it's holding it, it's all over the place in a bunch of little directions I would say get 2 2x6, mount them running the whole way plus about 8-10 inches out past along the top ends. drill all the way though and mount with 2x 1/4 inch through bolts in each main pylon, then you've got 4x 1/4 inch through bolts, you're passing the load to both pylons, you're attached on the outside which gives you more bracing and rigidity to the frame, and then your cross bar can just straight across, put a flange with through bolts on one side and run it through a hole and have the other end threaded with a cap that tightens into it. This reduces hardware costs by a good bit, removes extra angles that work against your design, and adds rigidity to the frame. As a bonus you can get about 6-8 inches of chain, get a good climbing caribeener and a slip open off-road pulley (like $30 bucks for both) and boom, you can do pull downs. If you mimic this design on the bot you can pulley there and have essentially an entire cable machine setup for ya.
the hardware store can cut and thread the pipe for you for free too. If you want a slimmer profile on the back you can make concrete weight boxes that slide onto a cleat on the frame, then you don't have to worry about having to rack your weights just to do pull ups, good for doing mixed sets and keeping the weight on the bar. You don't even have to actually make the concrete up, just wrap it in a good trash bag and build a simple box around it. Put a handle on for if you have to move it and boom, done. The cleats could go on the frame even if you built out the "footer" about 8 inches along the back if you haven't built one of these yet Also, get some of those foam pool noodles to put on the safety bars, it's not required but keeps things a bit more quiet and helps prevent things from getting dinged and scratched up as fast
Showing a diagram demonstrating your progress is so rare to see yet rather ingenious. Well done! Works so well. You think very, very well. Pragmatic logic through and through.
I'm so glad I subscribed. Gonna make this and the bench for my 19 year old son. He's been into weights for a year and looks like he's not gonna stop. Thanks.
This one was 90$ lumber, Just add screws and iron pipe for stop bars, should be less than 40-70$ extra in hardware, if you keep it very simple, and build a more permanent version that does not have all the options to take it apart that easily. DIY creators make high quality stuff.
My son just shared this video with me and told me to get to work building this for him since his school is closed and can't lift weights for football so next best thing...great video
So I'm designing a wooden power rack. I watched your video early in the process. I kicked around ideas and drawings. In the end - I needed to figure out how to store some plates at the back of the rack without adding more uprights to it. I came back to your video - your design is almost perfection! I'll make the plate boxes a little higher so I don't have bend so much - but the idea is exactly perfect. Thanks for doing this and for involving your little one! My almost-four-year-old will love helping me execute the build! Thanks!
GREAT VIDEO! I estimate I've watched several hundred DIY videos and this is one of the very best! The "where I'm at" is one of the most creative, and useful features I've ever seen! thank you so much
This is incredible! Your work is always impressive, but this blew me away. I had a hard enough time putting together a DIY pull-up bar in my garage. Thanks for the inspiration, bro. Keep up the amazing work!
ROIDS MAN! There's no way you can build a weight rack like that without being on some of juice, especially being in quarantine! Awesome work bro. Seriously, what a great effort, amazing!
You are an artist. What I know about working with wood comes from my father. He was a Mason in all aspects. I already started to do a power rack but catch a few more ideas fro you. Saludos from Puerto Rico. Your daughter will be an expert soon. Beautiful. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe if I had the thousands of dollars worth of power tools he used here it would be worth making, but it would honestly be cheaper just to buy a pre-made power rack considering I don't have all those tools.
@@thenew4559 He mentioned at the beginning why he did it and why people might be interested in doing it themselves. The current situation has made buying equipment very difficult/impossible. I bought my equipment more than a month ago, and options were very limited already, then.

@@diannwhitaker6 I'll stick to my drill press where even when my drill hits the metal I dont need to play with trigger to increase or lower speed, so the blade wont stop nor use force to push the drill in.
@@diannwhitaker6 Cutting oil is used only to keep drill from overheating and getting dull. Ive worked with metal, wood and plastic/acrilic/plexi for a long time and using oil to keep drill lasting longer is one of the first lesson you learn. I was comparing using a proper drill press to a hand drill when drilling loads of holes in thick metal. Even with oil and low speed which you still need to increase/lower manually the trigger and apply downforce either with hand or whole body cause hand drill cannot have same enough of torque and downforce as drill press have.
Michael Fairchild I know a hand drill doesn’t have the same torque as a drill press. I only spoke on using oil for metal on metal to avoid overheating.
i made something similar out of metal with a pulldown attachment instead of a pullup bar, it's not as clean as this, but i'm still proud of it almost 8 years later.
The “where im at” identifier is pure genius! Well done!

Just came across this guy and the first thing I said was "this dude looks like Roddy Ricch" lol Great video gonna be watching more of your videos for sure!!
I think he looks and sounds a lot like Roy Jones Jr.
COULD YOU PLZ MAKE ALL WOODEN GYM EQUIPMENTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE..?
Agreed 120%
Would be awesome!
Totally!
I think you'll get a workout just putting this thing together... you can skip the _actual_ exercises LOL... as always, your projects look great!
I call it my "wax on-wax off" exercise. (showing my age, much? hahaha)
@@felicadawn62 Mr. Miyagi doesn't play around,
Thank you again! And the cameo from the little princess was priceless! 😊👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻
Your daughter is very beautiful and you are a super great dad. Love your videos. Thanks for shearing.
You look like roddy rich's older brother lol
I was like... "who does he look like?".
Facts 😂🤣😂😅
Dead ass lmao

Im so glad, I own a drill press. Drilling many holes in thick metal with a hand drill can be a pain in the ass. Did that and not recommend.
Michael Fairchild put it at low speed and add oil to the steel. You’ll thank me later
@@diannwhitaker6 I'll stick to my drill press where even when my drill hits the metal I dont need to play with trigger to increase or lower speed, so the blade wont stop nor use force to push the drill in.
Michael Fairchild the oil actually helps the 2 metals from overheating while drilling.
@@diannwhitaker6 Cutting oil is used only to keep drill from overheating and getting dull. Ive worked with metal, wood and plastic/acrilic/plexi for a long time and using oil to keep drill lasting longer is one of the first lesson you learn. I was comparing using a proper drill press to a hand drill when drilling loads of holes in thick metal. Even with oil and low speed which you still need to increase/lower manually the trigger and apply downforce either with hand or whole body cause hand drill cannot have same enough of torque and downforce as drill press have.
Michael Fairchild I know a hand drill doesn’t have the same torque as a drill press. I only spoke on using oil for metal on metal to avoid overheating.
Makes a squat rack just to curl in it. DIY more like DYEL.
Do you even love?
HAHAHAHAHAH FUCKING BASED
Lmao
Like you 3D diagram showing where you are in the build - nice touch!!!
I love the way you get your kids involved ... Respect!
i made something similar out of metal with a pulldown attachment instead of a pullup bar, it's not as clean as this, but i'm still proud of it almost 8 years later.
"I don't realy like to squat"... proceeded to do better squats than most of the idiots i see at the gym
my exact thought
I was going to post that. lol
To paraphrase Quigley - "I said I didn't like them, not that I couldn't do them".
You gotta squat!!!! NEVER SKIP LEG DAY!!! Awesome job
If you move the bar off your neck into the low bar position, you will find that it is more comfortable (without the towel) and you can go heavier.
Can you do a DIY luke alarm so I can kick myself out of my house for being too loud?
Very nice project, now with cov19 it is a great solution for a home gym, all the family would be involved making and using it, salutes from México!
This works well with wood because none of us are powerlifters of 700lbs, the average person doesn't need steel. Good job!
