My recent builds

[Seatard]

It kind of reminds me of one of these:

[Mech6]

lol above.

Safeties


And yes, I made a monolift for an amstaff rack. 60x60mm uprights.

That's cool. Replacement uprights would make it nicer. I take it the Amstaff tubing is a little larger than 2x2 and a little smaller than Powertec's 2.5" x 2.5"?

Says right there, 60x60mm. Which is bascially 2-3/8".

[Mech6]

2 more.

For drop-in rack


And mrcheeze's army green (lol) 3x3.

Quick question to the monolift hooks owners, or Mech. Aside from high bar are these good for setting up on low bar squats too?

[dieselmike]

I do low bar and they are great. I don't understand why you think they wouldn't work well with that variation.

High bar, low bar, front squats, safety bar squats, bench, whatever.

Works equally as well for both, but it really shines when benching alone, also on seated ohp.

This. Not really an issue where the bar is placed.

[Deep-Voiced-One]

Thanks. I didn't think it wouldn't work well, but was just more, or less making sure. I've been eyeing them...Maybe very soon, In the meantime one more probably obvious question...Do the monolift hooks vary on the hole number from where your standard j-cup setting would sit? (Not a big deal, just wondering).

Yes. For you, pin is 2" higher than your j-hooks. But you'd want the monolift a bit lower, so the 1.5" spacing would be pretty good, just raise it 1 hole.

[Mech6]

More for cheeze. At this point I think he's just trolling me to see what he can make me do.

[Mech6]

And the FT drawing/design is almost done. Can't wait to build this thing. I may build 2, lol. Just need to get myself some weight stacks.

[Synthetickiller]

Hold the phone!
What are those?

would you build for me a suit of armor?

[Mech6]

Clamp-on "legs" for his trap bar. To turn it into a shruging setup using the raised handles.

That was my first guess. Second had to do with some sort of Guantanamo Bay-style torture, I mean "freedom" device.



So, do you think someone is going to have you make a TV mount for a rack anytime soon?
I might just have to cause you some trouble about that one, jk, jk.

LOL, maybe...mayyybe not

J-cup beer holder...

i was honestly going to guess something to hold the sleeves of a barbell but i couldn't think whafor.

and beer holder is kind of a cliche no? what about a swing in desk attachment for the guy who had his rack in his bedroom?

man i'm really sorry i can't help but be a dick. i cannot wait for the day when i can actually order equipment from you.

[mrcheeze36]

The legs will also be used for farmer carries with the trap bar, to prevent damage to my comp plates from the pavement.

[rollerball]

Safeties

F*cking beautiful. I dunno what it is about safety spotter arms, but I just love em.

[Mech6]

This was a bit stupid. Version 2

[Mech6]

We stainless now. Brass knuckles for JT


Dumbbell trays. Extra backplate. Another one I don't plan on making anymore of.



And finally this thing, in progress.

Goes with this

[dukenukem7777]

Lots of really impressive pics here. Nice work.

[Mech6]

So cheeze is replacing all the braces on his rm6 for versions with more holes. Lol.


And this thing is getting there. Have to finish handles/grips



And before someone else asks for one of these and freaks out when I come up with a price, this is why. Takes some skill and some time to setup one of these to be able to weld without it moving in every direction.

[bobcat255]

Sorry, a little late to the party, but that reverse hyper... OMG!

I may need one of those!!

[Domicron]

welding round to square sounds like a nightmware (and rhymes, btw)
looks crazy.

do you have any pieces you enjoy the making of? or is it the finished product that makes the work worth it?

in other words: are there pieces where you go "i hope people order more of these" vs are you a "okay i made a good version of X, time to move on to the next one"

Not really. I'm much more into designing and drawing up the thing than actually building it. Although the final assembly (after powder coat) is really cool, THE FIRST TIME. After you've done a few it quickly looses it's charm. I'm really digging trying to get this FT ready, on cad. Welding it is going to be something else, lol. No uhmw on it however, so it's already a favorite

no uhmw? i'm sure you're using enough of that stuff to keep 3 suppliers in business...

anyway yeah i figured you might be more into the design part of it, just from the way you always talk about design and tweaking and such.
