Saturday. Although not much to do before it goes out to paint. Counterweight and the pivot pins are all that's left to make/weld. But I have another gizmo to finish up for alex also, so it all goes to paint together.Originally Posted by dumb.bell

There should be a show on cable on custom Rack and attachment buiding. Always impressed with your fabrication, customizable optios, and attention to detail.Originally Posted by Mech6

With regards to the monolift attachment, is there an easy way to incorporate height adjustments to the hooks? Just wondering since my uprights have 4 inch spacing.

Doesn't necessarily have to be a quick adjustment.
Will the pin that holds the swing arm be welded in place or held in with a bolt? If it is held in with a bolt could another pivot loop be added right below the other one, with the holes being 2 inches apart?▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #39 ▪█─────█▪

Lol, it would end up being pretty much the same thing every episode: me setting various articles of clothing on fire and making more and more mistakes until I realize I'm too tired and need to eat and sleep.Originally Posted by OffAir

Those monolift hooks look awesome! Best design I've seen yet. The UHMW in your design is a huge upgrade in my opinion. Great work, Mech.

Cybex safeties finished, with anti-rotation pins (copied from Legend) to make these into band peg holders also.
With 1" and 2" plastic inserts (3" rack spacing)

If in doubt, squat and run hills. So you walk into the gym and don't know what to do? Then squat and run hills. Have a miserable day at work and want to break someone's neck but aren't sure who's? Then squat and run hills. - Wendler

Mech6, what has been your favorite rack? Is it ever difficult to part with them?Originally Posted by Mech6

No favorites really, they all have a little something, but it's all pretty routine to me now. Some (looking your way Dragon360), I couldn't wait to get rid of. Damn monstrosity was taking up my whole shop floor.Originally Posted by OffAir
I like new things. So anything that's a special request is kind of cool. Cool to design. Once I start building it, I quickly regret agreeing to "hey, can you do this?"

I like new things. So anything that's a special request is kind of cool. Cool to design. Once I start building it, I quickly regret agreeing to "hey, can you do this?"I was just looking at the pictures. It's HUGE! I counted like 5 pullup handles, 3 pairs of j hooks, dip handles, dumbell trays lined with UHMW. That's an impressive build Mech6. Congrats Dragon360Originally Posted by dragon360

Ok, so hooks with coupling nut welded to hold counterweight.
Holders came back from paint. With plastic and bumpers.
