I'm intrigued. Indexing pullup gear?

[dieselmike]

Not sure what I'm looking at but I'm sure it's more exciting than my swing in safeties.

That's on the list, but no, this is not that. Waiting for other parts to finish this. Hard to explain, so photos will be easier.

You tease. LOL. Well, whatever it is, I want one.

Mech, was just checking out all of the metal pr0n and read about your medical problems. I'm glad that you're effectively recovered.

This also goes without saying, but you're a huge asset to this forum and community. I just love the stuff that you do and the amount of creativity that comes from you and your customers. Can't wait to see what that contraption is that you posted....

[Mech6]

So these were changed from last time. Basically everything can be moved to any hole. Better now.



Rack mounted and removable pendulum

Looks awesome mech! Quick question for you. My weight horns on my dark horse don't have end caps. I bought a new pair from rogue that does. I'd like to get caps for all the rest but I don't know what/where to get them. Can you point me in the right direction? Thanks!

Are the weight horns 1.9" OD? mcmaster.com. Get the caps for 1-3/4" OD tubing, and whatever ID your horns are (they have different ones). Seach for tubing end plugs or something. Technically they're not caps since they go IN the tubing. Those are the ones in the photos above, so if they look similar to the rogue ones, that should work. They're sold in packs so you might have extra.

Not like I need to explain how seriously good Mech's stuff is, but thought I would anyways. Ordered a pair of monolift hooks and they're amazing. The packaging was as good as the best or better than any manufacturer I've dealt with (and that's nearly every one) and likewise for the build quality. Tolerances were really tight and everything solid, hooks work perfectly. Couldn't recommend more. Hope to purchase some more stuff in the future.

Thanks. I think it's the first one to be mounted to a sorinex rack.

More stuff going to #36.

Rack mounted platforms. Didn't want to just clone what was out there already, so these got caps, the usual UHMW around the upright, and they're gusseted like a battleship. It was also suggested I put UHMW between them, to protect if someone uses them for belt squats with a loading pin (in case plates hit the sides).





Same deal with a rack mounted bench/seat attachment. Took sorinex model, made the top treadplate, beefed up the end supports and added UHWM on all contact points. Top holes are to receive a removable pad.

Fricking beastly!

[Domicron]

those platforms look great.

[Ramcharger310]

thats insane, can't wait to see the bench in action.

Is that bench/seat attachment in the 5th and 6th pics like a spotter step that sits flush on the bottom side braces? (I can't keep up with all the high tech pieces out there so inform me if I'm wrong). If it is looks awesome!

Yes, safeties or half-rack spotters in this case.

Ever consider making a loading pin?
Give it a flat base so it can sit upright, horizontal pin so it's easier to break down. Something like this:
Thread here: http://forum.bodybuilding.com/showth...hp?t=140180593

Very nice work btw. Always tip top effort & thought put into these things.
If I ever need to upgrade the frame on my vehicle, I'll get you to build it. lol

Replied to this on previous page:

"Only issue with the base is you have to thicken up the center "shaft". 1/2" rod isn't going to cut it standing on it's own, it will bend. So then that widens your plates."

I had forgotten about that. I deleted the pics not to clog the thread. I need more coffee...
If you ever come up with an alternative method to design one, please post.

Come on Mech, were still waiting! What the hell are these for... a clock for a rack?

lol. Indexable position for handles on a weird ass bar I have to make. While keeping option of having it rotate freely if desired. This will make more sense when I actually weld it up. In next 2 weeks.

[keyboardworkout]

[Mech6]

Yep, pretty much. But actual sprockets are tapered on the edges and end up costing more than just laser cutting them. Also let me have more rounded points for a stronger "tooth".

[Hardgains88]

Mech, is it me, or would the real cost of a lot of the military grade gear you make be several times the actual cost if not for your passion to produce some of the best engineered and crafted equipment available? Like I'm thinking if someone contacted a fabrication facility capable of producing similar quality and just asked for a quote?

Yes, you'll pay more if it's not something they actually do often. Also, they probably have a much larger overhead than me.

Something quick while everything is shut down for the holidays.
Safeties for a rogue rm4.
