Thanks! I like the bondo trick to flatten the back side

Beautiful, very helpful, thank you!

Great Idea, thanks!

You can take your rock to the local water jet cutting company and get them to cut it for you. This is just a suggestion i have not tried this. Best of luck

You can flatten the rock using an angle grinder disk for cutting concrete/floor tiles, holes cut with a dry gres rubi diamond angle grinder bit. Tgis is what i used and i was able to cut through black stone wich is verry hard. Round diamont bit for drill is also pretty good and cuts fast since it has thinner wall so it has to remove less material. Flattened with car putty and sanded on a flat sheet of sand paper since the rock was already pretty flat from the angle grinder. Great video

Just what I was looking for, cheers man

USE A CERAMIC DRILLBIT WITH WATER.

Thanks for vid

What is the (bondo?) material you use to level it up? (and please do not climb with rings!!! )

Awesome. Thank you for THIS

hey! i'm in portugal and i don't really know if we have "bondo" here? could you explain kinda what it is, to see if i could find something like it here? btw great video! thanks!

great vid

thanks for sharing all of the details of your process, even what didn't end up working! very useful

Can you link the name/brand etc of the support hooks? Too many on amazon

Does adding 4 hooks of max load 75 lb incease the load to 300 lb? Most people seem to say it does not work that way. I want to hang my board that way but I am concerned it will go wrong. I would appreciate it if you could answer this please. Many thanks

Hi , can I set up a fingerboard on a single pull up bar that expands against the door frame only? If so, do I need to do it with hooks? and can I use multiple 20kg bike hooks? Sorry for so many questions

Hey im interested in building my own holds, I see he is using "bondo." is there an eco friendly/ More natural replacement I could use on the rock? Thanks!

great detailed yet crisp video. Did you try drilling a bigger diameter bore on the climber side of the hold for the the Allen key bolt head to sit ? have you given it a thought?

Youll have the best luck with the diamond tipped drill bits for stone. I think those masonry bits with carbide are more for concrete. Quartzite will eat that for breakfast. Quartzite is especially hard to cut even with diamonds and will wear the diamonds down quickly. If you notice the bit isnt cutting as well, and the tip feels smooth with few protruding diamonds, you can expose the diamonds again by running the bit into concrete or sandstone, which will sharpen it up again for you. I run my diamond blade through a sandstone block after every cut I do in porcelain or quartzite to keep the diamonds fresh. Pressure into the stone wont hurt the bit all that much, and a decent amount of pressure will speed things up for you. A drill press would make this real easy, however, keep checking the tip for sharpness. If the quartzite wears away the diamonds and you keep the pressure on, temperature will increase and your compound will weaken, severely shortening the bits lifespan. As for the bondo, easiest way ive found to clear the excess is to cut it off with a razor blade when its about halfway cured and still cuts easy without dropping out again. You can also use a diamond cup wheel to flatten the rear, or 50 grit sandpaper on a sander polisher. Always use water when cutting, drilling, and grinding stone for dust suppression. You don't want to be breathing in stone dust, it's not at all good for you.

Thank you! I just made this. After some testing, I sawed the arms off the pull-up bar about 6”, then installed the board in the shorted arms, bringing It much closer to the doorframe. It worked out great- no give at all now and there is less stress placed on the frame. As a bonus, the pull-up bar is more accessible as well if you want to use it, as the board doesn't stick out as much/get in the way

Nice work! I found this video after making my own holds from real rock at the weekend (ua-cam.com/video/eMzjR0bMuwI/v-deo.html). I can't believe there aren't more people doing it. It's really satisfying and each one is unique, impossible to mass-manufacture.

OMG I found the WINNER video idea/tutorial on how to hang my board. PS I am a female weight 110-130 no more so I should be good on the further out space of the board hanging. LOVE THIS thanks so much!

Nice video 👍

You're not worried about your door frame busting from putting weight on it?

*Very easy to see at night with a flashlight.≖≖>**allmy.tips/NiteIzeCord?ww≖ ** I just wish it came in much longer lengths as I already need to order more.*

diamond drills polishing discs etc are cheap and faster , Masterwholesale.com a diamond drill bit will last forever and wont split the rock , or harbor freight has cheap tile saws that will cut a rock in half and leave a perfectly smooth surface.

I just use a masonry bit with a rotary hammer drill. As long as you take your time and use light pressure you can drill through holds this thick in about five minutes each. I suppose there is more risk of cracking a hold but if you've got plenty of rocks it's only five minutes wasted. I'd do the bondo after drilling to avoid further wasted time. You can clean the hole up later with a dremel and some grinding bits if you have them or just sand paper if you don't.

Super cool. Thanks!

Cut the rock in half using a diamond angle grinding disk, then drill using a diamond bit

You should sell these...

You should make another wider hole so the bolt can be counter sunk below the top of the rock

You could also use a rubbing brick to easily smooth the rock out.

With it only being press fitted to the pull up bar, there have been no issues with the board piece ever sliding out of the pull up bar? This is brilliant. Heading to Lowes and a Sports store today.

Hi, what are the red holds in the corner on the hang board, where could I get some hold similar to those

How thick is the board?

This is exactly what I was looking for. I've been trying to come up with a way to convert my iron gym for a while now.

Just made my own using this video and granite pieces. Got my hole saw from Amazon - www.amazon.com/dp/B01HIWPUTI/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_WLS-xb0VDWR8F

OP said 3/4" nipples and fittings, but he actually used 1/2" ones.

I like this. A lot.

Very good Video! just what i was looking for.

Thanks for the vid. Your ideas were really helpful. I was able to dry drill through a couple of sandstone pieces with a standard high speed steel bit and hammer drill. I then needed to sharpen the bit.It was very time consuming though. For the sandstone holds I used, they were flat enough on the backs that I was able to finish flattening them by just rubbing them on the concrete floor of my garage. They are holds that would not get a lot of torque on them. I then burnt through a bunch of masonry drill bits dry-drilling another 1.5 holds in hammer mode, very time consuming. Then I followed your lead and bought some diamond hole saw bits - bought on amazon for dirt cheap, takes a few weeks to ship from china. I drilled with these, with the bit/rock underwater, in rotary mode (not hammer) and they drilled like butter. Getting things set up to drill a 90 degree angle and the water level right and the work area safe all takes a while, but the actual drilling time was very quick - maybe 5-10 minutes per hole. I've drilled about 10 holes and though I can tell the 3/8bit is getting worn when I look at it, it still drills remarkably fast, even through granite. I am currently waiting for my bondo to dry. Thanks for all the tips!

Can you update how well the quartzite holds held up? I was considering a combination of granite and quartzite holds for a wall my friend and I are making. Also a few tips from my experience as a lapidary (a person that cuts stone, normally for jewelry or decoration) 1. Use a cheap drill press to cut the holes with a diamond hole saw bit. I decreases the time it takes to cut through, and, with some ingenuity, you can either weight the drill press handle, or make a mechanism that will slowly press down and then release. 2) When using Bondo, if you use a sharp razorblade to trim the edges as soon as the Bondo sets, it cuts through smoothly like butter. Cheers, and happy climbing!

I will try this method immediately! Did you prefer your alternate vs this version for the hangboard? I noticed your other video with hooks places the force demand differently. Thank you for sharing your innovative ideas.

Could you tell me what the size of the diamond grit drill bit is? Also thank you for this awesome vid.

Nice! The hole-saw bit looked really nice! How many holes can you drill with each hole saw bit? (What's the cost per hole) ... For the finishing of the bondo a dremel tool with a sandpaper flap-wheel works great :)

Great video! Thanks for posting. What size drill bit do you use?

dude i think you drilled backward

my cousin is into climbing and I think I'm going to make him one of these. I do tile work so I have tools, and thinking of just using wetsaw to flatten the backs. time to hit the train tracks and find some rocks. this is cool, thanks for the video.

Where are you purchasing your hardware from?

Do you think if I made rock climbing holds using this method it would work? Would it be to heavy? Could they break? What do you think? ua-cam.com/video/tH-PaNugz9w/v-deo.html -Thanks
