My recent builds
I'm getting too many emails asking "what can I do", so I tought I'd put these in the same thread. These are just final (or close to final) pictures. No descriptions. Questions welcome.
Racks and benches

So purdy, it brings a tear to my eye.
You simply are AWESOME!

What's the overall length front to back of the Black & Red Rack with Plate Storage? That thing is exactly what I'm looking for when I upgrade my current rack.
-
Just wow. So wish you were local or at least reasonably close to me as I would definitely have you build me something up. Look forward to more threads of your latest work!
-
My order is in. The man is a genius.
Muhaha... It's a shark with fricken lasers on it's head. You'll see shortly.
-
Amazing work - anyone with any of your gear is very lucky. Wish there was someone even remotely as good as you near me. I don't suppose you'll be moving to northern California anytime soon ;)?

Rack (2x3) is 36", storage (2x2) adds 18". So 54" + a few inches for foot plates. I have a welded version of that rack to build next, so should get another photo in here soon.

Nice! Can't wait to see what the 2 of you come up with.

This equipment equals any I've seen from any manufacturer, awesome work Mech6. I've recently made a few gym pieces and it's caused a great appreciation for the work of good fabricators as my welding has a lot of room for improvement. Again, great work!

Incredible stuff.
Have you considered moving your production to Arizona during the winter? We have nice weather. :-)

Wonder if you've ever made an Indexing Chin Bar or think it would be difficult? Seems to get the best reviews for chin bar styles. Looks like it can be spread wider than the uprights for extra wide grips, and you never hit your chin on a cross bar. Not sure if the handles always spin freely or if they can be optionally locked in place.

Haven't done it no, because no one has asked for it yet. But is fairly simple. Lots of parts, but simple. Looking at that picture, I hope there is more than just those set screw shaft collars preventing the handles from coming down. Some kind of snap ring at least. That's the first thing I would change.

Nice work! Do you outsource the upholstery or do you do that as well? How do you make the massive pad for the GHD?

I bought the pad from EFS a long time ago. Pretty much the day they released their wide version, with some bs story about wanting to upgrade my ghr. This was back when wendler was working there because I remember having to convince him I knew what I was doing. Not sure they would still sell it on it's own. Rogue will sell pads seperately however.

Awesome work, how much is the appx. weight for the above only Rack ?
-
[QUOTE=erahul88;1177172833]Awesome work, how much is the appx. weight for the above only Rack ?[/QUOTE]
How much does it weigh? Rack only 325lbs, with storage 425lbs about. Probably more with bolts.

is it a 11-Gauge?
-
[QUOTE=erahul88;1179938743]is it a 11-Gauge?[/QUOTE]
That one, yes. As comparaison, the half-rack in the 2nd post is 580lbs without spotters or j-hooks. 7 gauge.

Mech6, your racks look awesome esp the 3x3 with rack attachment. Great job. I wish I had your skills.

Thanks. Have a 2x3 started and a 3x3 coming up soon. And that 45dgree hyper. And possibly a pulldown. And my monolift hooks have to be redone. And my cable column finished... Should quit my real job.

Wow, I dont browse much anymore so this is the first I'm seeing of your work, But very impressive!

I'm assuming shipping to the US is quite expensive?

Depends what it is, but if it's on a pallet and has to clear customs, then yes, probably not worth it.

Forgot about this. I built this a long time ago. Rack mounted reverse hyper, adjustable tilt, swings out of way when not in use. Adjusted by chains in this case, but the original idea was pins. But friend thought chains would be easier. I built for a buddy at his request, and it was left bare steel for this reason. Was meant to mount in his 2x2 weight storage section of a rack I built, and was brought back so his head wouldn't stick out the window behind his rack (space was limited in that room).
Before Rogue, Schwab and whoever brough out their versions. Couple of years ago now.
