Option1 coming off the wall as you walked away scared the shit out of me for you! lol glad you were clear of it man. stud location lesson learned for life lol
After watching your video I was going to build one with dowels but I had a a frame plate holder that I decided to cut up and placed on the wall thanks for the great idea looks great takes up less space.
@@KaizenDIYGym I need more people to watch, this is killer. Seriously. Excellent work man! Appreciate the hard work too, I’ve somehow never thought of making my own plate holders. 😂😂😂😂
Nice One Brother, it's really great that you show how easy it is to make mistakes, and that's there's no drama, you just correct it👍. I did the same on one of mine😠
Yeah, it happens! I feel like it’s better to show how easily mistakes can be made. It helps reinforce the safety message at the beginning. I’m just glad it was the bumpers that fell and not the iron plates!
Another great video. Any chance you'll be doing a Diy cable cross over set up in future? I have a basic cable set up for pull downs and face pull using slings and wire rope but can't visualise how to do a cross over set up.
It's on my list, but I've got quite a few other videos to do before I get to it. In the meantime you should check out my buddy at DIY Fitness Club, he's got a cable crossover video ruclips.net/video/ClfftecMCkg/видео.html
Yes, sorry I didn’t respond yet. I have them made and the video footage is all shot. I came up with a unique design that I am currently looking into patenting. I’ll be able to post the video after the patent application is submitted.
Use a magnet to find studs behind drywalls. Preferably one call stud buddy. To know for sure that you have a stud, when your screw passes the drywall, it should pick up resistance. Once the screw touches the surface of what you drilling to the wall, it won't spin on that surface. It will try to drive through it.
@KaizenDIYGym You work with wood. I just assumed it was an oversight for you. Because you were doing a lot at one time. My comment were for the people who is working with wood and hanging things on a wall for the first time.
If you’re looking to load up super heavy, I’d go with the metal pipe but use bolts going all the way through the 2x4. That’ll be strong enough for just about anything
I designed these to hold a full set of weights (255 pounds) but they can probably handle more. I keep four 45s on the bottom. You can always use bolts to make it extra secure too.
Material and design strength question for you... With your design, which do you feel is theoretically stronger? Pipe vs dowels? I ask because even though the pipe is metal, there is less surface area countersunk into the flanges. The dowels seem to recess deeper into the material. In the past, when I have threaded pipes into flanges I can only go a few rows thread deep into the flange. Also the wall thickness is less with the pipe vs dowel. Anyways. I am interested to hear your thoughts. No physics formulas required in your response.😉😂🤣
I’ve been using both in my gym for years without any issues. They’re both pretty damn strong. I’d have a hard time guessing which is stronger without some sort of test (or engineering expert chiming in)
Great video. One quick question: how many 45# plates do you think each dowel could hold, safely? Just the 2 shown in the video? Or could it take 4? Thanks.
@@KaizenDIYGym dumb question. How would you attach the carriage bolt to the dowel? Where would the nut go? Been a long day here and my brain is not registering. :)
Try drilling all the way through or just to the bottom of the 2x4. The more depth the dowel has in the 2x4 the stronger it will be. Just make sure you use wood glue and you should be fine. You could also you a 4x4 and that would be much stronger as you could put the dowel at least 3” deep
Nice build! Just a note that if you're staining pine or other softwood, you might want to use wood conditioner to get a more even application. Would've loved to see you try loading each option to failure 😂.
Nope, not a stunt. I legitimately thought I drilled into the studs and was wrong. I could have edited it out but I left it in. I feel like maybe seeing my mistake will help other people avoid it.
What else should I put on my DIY build to-do list?
Awesome video, big fan of anything that reduces the footprint of weights in the gym! Any ideas on how to make a rack attachable speed bag?
Thanks! I haven’t made one yet but I don’t think it’ll be too hard to make. I’ll add it to my list
Hi. Great videos. Could you make one of a solid weightlifting platform would be nice :)
or maybe a bench.
More storage ideas such as band storage. Adjustable dumbbell/kettlebell stand. Plyo Boxes.

Haha yeah, I debated cutting that out of the final edit but I figured it could serve as a lesson for anyone watching.
Good video, nice to see so many options and I think you did a good job showing all 4 without it dragging on.
Wow, that’s a huge compliment coming from the king of drag on videos! Thanks Gluck!
@@KaizenDIYGym I gotta get that watch time so sometimes I just stare at the camera for like 15 minutes
It’s awkward as hell but I love it. I’ve seen others try to copy but no one can do it quite like you
@@KaizenDIYGym 😉
A good way to find wall studs is use magnets to locate drywall screws. Use 2-3 magnets, find 2-3 screws vertically and there’s your stud.
That’s pretty clever, thanks for sharing
Another great tutorial. You’re the Bob Ross of DIY gym equipment 👊
Wow, I think that’s the best compliment I’ve ever received. Thank you!
@@KaizenDIYGym 😀

That is awesome, I love to hear it!
Love having so many options. Something for everybody!
Thanks man! I’m glad you like it!
Your channel is absolutely top-tier. This is really cool content!
Thank you so much! Each video is a lot of work so I’m glad it shows. As long as people want to watch, I’ll keep making videos!
@@KaizenDIYGym I need more people to watch, this is killer. Seriously. Excellent work man! Appreciate the hard work too, I’ve somehow never thought of making my own plate holders. 😂😂😂😂
This is perfect man! Thank you. I’m going to have a bunch of these materials already.
That’s awesome, I’d love to see how it turns out!
You definitely helped me save a few bucks today. Going to go with option 1
Awesome, glad I could help!

Showing that you made a mistake is super refreshing to see👏 great video
Gotta show the mistakes when they happen if it’ll help others
Liked the 1st option, thanks for sharing
Awesome, thanks for watching!
@@KaizenDIYGym For 1" plate, 3/4" tubing should be ok, right?
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!
Thank you so much! I’ll keep making videos as long as people want to watch them.
Saw it on Instagram!! Love this
Thanks bro! Definitely a must have in the garage gym
What important point for the wooden versions was left out. The woodgrain must be vertical for strength.
Good to include that fail - you have probably saved a life
I debated cutting that out but figured it could be helpful to someone else
Nice! Exactly what I was looking for
That’s what I love to hear! I’d love to see how yours turns out. Tag me on Instagram and I’ll repost it
Thanks for sharing. I'm gonna make the one with wood, I liked that one a lot.
You are amazing. Good job on all variations.
Thanks so much!
Bro nicely done hey did u see my comment about the ISO arms ? Rep fitness and rouge offer them just curious if u had any good ideas
Yes, sorry I didn’t respond yet. I have them made and the video footage is all shot. I came up with a unique design that I am currently looking into patenting. I’ll be able to post the video after the patent application is submitted.

I know. This is an old video. I have since bought a stud finder and haven’t had issues hanging stuff on the walls.
@KaizenDIYGym You work with wood. I just assumed it was an oversight for you. Because you were doing a lot at one time. My comment were for the people who is working with wood and hanging things on a wall for the first time.
What’s better the metal plate option or the wooden dowel option? For option 1 and 2 on your video? Which can you load up more
If you’re looking to load up super heavy, I’d go with the metal pipe but use bolts going all the way through the 2x4. That’ll be strong enough for just about anything
Thanks for those ideas! Excited to try it out
Awesome, let me know how it works out!
Nice builds as per usual!
Thanks so much brother!
Yes session more videos!!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Lots more videos coming soon!
What is the inner diameter of the flanges? Are they 1 1/2 inches? If so, the plates should fit kinda tightly?
After watching again and seeing the caps the flanches and pipes probably are 1 1/4 inches?
Yes. It’s a 1” pipe, the outside diameter is slightly over 1”, the weights have 2” holes, so there’s plenty of room.
How much weight do the options hold? Specifically 45's?
I designed these to hold a full set of weights (255 pounds) but they can probably handle more. I keep four 45s on the bottom. You can always use bolts to make it extra secure too.
i mounted my pegs directly into my wall stud. should I be worried about hanging the weight directly on the wall stud? or should I add an extra 2x4
That should be fine. It really depends on what you used to mount - short screws vs long screws, wood screws vs lag screws
Material and design strength question for you... With your design, which do you feel is theoretically stronger? Pipe vs dowels?
I ask because even though the pipe is metal, there is less surface area countersunk into the flanges. The dowels seem to recess deeper into the material.

I’ve been using both in my gym for years without any issues. They’re both pretty damn strong. I’d have a hard time guessing which is stronger without some sort of test (or engineering expert chiming in)
You could drill with a hole bit on a drill and screw the pipe deep into the wood to give it more strength
Make sure to screw into the exact holes in your stud from the previous options for strength lol
Would you use 3/4 dowel for 1" plates ? Thanks man
Those would work great
Well done ☝🏼
Thank you so much! This was a fun project!
Love your videos.
Thanks man! I really appreciate it!
What diameter size is the wood dowel?
1.5”
@@KaizenDIYGym oh okay! Thanks for this video! Very helpful!
Great video. One quick question: how many 45# plates do you think each dowel could hold, safely? Just the 2 shown in the video? Or could it take 4?
Thanks.
If you use bolts instead of lag screws you can definitely put 4 plates on each dowel.
@@KaizenDIYGym dumb question. How would you attach the carriage bolt to the dowel? Where would the nut go? Been a long day here and my brain is not registering. :)
One other question (sorry). Would you say the steel pipe and flange option is ‘stronger’, if you wanted to have 4x45#s.
@@MarkGowdy I would say yes, just put lag screws in the flange
Try drilling all the way through or just to the bottom of the 2x4. The more depth the dowel has in the 2x4 the stronger it will be. Just make sure you use wood glue and you should be fine. You could also you a 4x4 and that would be much stronger as you could put the dowel at least 3” deep
Nice safety announcement. 🤣 I really, really hope that wasn’t necessary in response to someone going after you.
No, it’s preemptive. I definitely don’t want to be on the hook if someone cuts off a limb after watching my videos!
Super Merci
You are welcome, thanks for supporting the channel!
Dry wall anchors are not good enough, you have to be into studs to hold plates.
That stud is now more hole than it is wood.
use a 2x6x8 not a 2x4 also doesnt need to be treated
Nice build! Just a note that if you're staining pine or other softwood, you might want to use wood conditioner to get a more even application.
Would've loved to see you try loading each option to failure 😂.
Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to make a follow up video sometime loading these up to failure.
dont use dry wall anchors for anything like this!
Where were you three years ago when I shot this video?! It would have been super helpful to know back then.
Just made a DIY Rack Attached Storage Peg Vid, check it out!
I checked it out, nice work! It's a great project
Holy shit, thought that was a stunt, done on purpose?....was like....but when is he going to talk about studs?
Nope, not a stunt. I legitimately thought I drilled into the studs and was wrong. I could have edited it out but I left it in. I feel like maybe seeing my mistake will help other people avoid it.
@@KaizenDIYGym your lame safety clips are so lame they are cool! Seriously though, you are awesome at editing
Do not do drywall anchors, come on!
That was scary to watch.
