The only surprise to me is the fact all your Fitness Gear plates aren't pitted. I had a couple pairs of 25lb Fitness Gear plates that had weight difference of nearly 4lbs between the heaviest and...

One thing I've done for years to keep the light end of the bar in place, is to jack the bar angle up (use blocks or better yet, a platform under the weighted end). Nothing terribly tall, you're just...

There are certain things I wouldn't order from Titan, and straps would be one of them. More importantly, the brackets more than likely won't fit your Rogue rack if you buy them from Titan. Titan pin...

You've made good use of that small space, and the new setup looks great! I'm working with a super small area as well for lifting, so I understand your pain. I just wish my setup was a nice as yours....

I often wonder if people in the gym realize racks and Smith machines have built-in safeties. They usually aren't engaged, and even when they are, it's almost always 15" off the floor serving zero...

Very cool! First time I've seen one of those as well. Just imagine the confusion a piece like that would create at the typical gym. Crossfitters would probably sit on it sideways and attempt to...

WOW! That's like stepping back into a time machine. Such a change of pace to see people actually taking care of the gym equipment they purchase. Too many of those wonderful "deals" off CL and FB...

At least someone's getting a good laugh off my crazy notions.

Even if that person had set the safeties, Smith machines often leave too big of a gap between settings. Either the bar is off your chest by "X" number of inches, or you move the safety down one notch...

THIS!!!! My father bought an EMF/RF meter several years back and takes it nearly everywhere he goes. After borrowing it for a short time, I've become "enlightened" to the dangers of (even low level)...

Thank you kindly!

Oh man, those handles on swivels are giving me some ideas for the jammer arms I'm currently building. I still can't come up with a decent way to make the handle width adjustable (w/o it being overly...

An electric hoist would be sweet for heavy negatives! I used to use the smith machine for this purpose at my local gym, but you're absolutely correct about having to lift the weight back into it's...

Are you saying that the shaft which this knob attaches to also has the star shape on the end, or is it just a simple round shaft? I'd be looking to epoxy a generic knob on or get one with a set...

That's what I said about his torch too! Haha. "OUCH!!!"

There is no switched outlet on the back of my welder. I don't plan on messing with any half-a$$ed setups or trying to "rig" something...

I appreciate the compliment, but I think the words "Even more impressive" should be changed to, "Even more time consuming!" Lol.

Thanks for the idea. I actually had most of the parts gathered...

Thanks. I'll look into it. I actually bought some LED rope lights years back for some custom picture frames I made for my gym, but they are more like the style of LED lights that you see on the...

Don't kid yourself, the quality of my work is the result of me having years of experience in metal fabrication, working full time in a fab shop for 7 years, and getting certified in various welding...

That is a freakin' sweet setup!!!! I love the rgb LED light around the mirror! I've been trying to figure out how I can add in a series of light bulbs to the top pullup bar of my squat rack....total...

Thank you both for the compliments! I'm excited to get back in and finish these projects next week once life settles down for me.
