This looks amazing Azan, great work! Our dad (Duke) just let us know about this video over the weekend. Apologize for not checking it out sooner. How is it continuing to hold up? Again, congrats! Video was well edited too!
+Buff Dudes Thanks guys! I used it for about 6 months and it held up very well. Unfortunately, I had to sell it over the weekend as I am moving across the country and can't take it with me. But now I get to build another one. I think it's a solid design, but there are a few tweaks that I may experiment with on my next one. Thanks again guys! :)
Buff Dudes I also made your guys’ rack but I cut the 4x4 into even 3” (used a table saw) and made the holes 11/16 round, also made the inside 42” wide x 36” deep. Then I went to Titan fitness and bought the safety straps, j hooks and a pull up bar and bam hybrid wood and steel rack haha. Solid. Hasn’t failed me so far and adjusting the j hooks and straps is a breeze.
I was just asking myself watching the buff dad, man how can I do that he’s a pro .. then I saw your video, you’re an inspiration of resilience and perfection..thank you Azan!
Just got done building mine. Gotta paint it and put in the pullup bar. Bar is my most dreaded part as those damn speedbore max bits are tough to control normaly much less on a ladder with my arms outstretched lol. Wish I could of just bout a damn rack but this thing should do for a while
Just built mine, and discovered that if you use a black iron pull-up bar the same width as the inside of the rack, you can just mount it with two floor flanges. Then, you don’t need the front top piece of wood. The bar works in its place!
pretty cool. it's nice to see people getting their hands dirty and tackling diy projects. also a sense of accomplishment. I would just do a few safety tests and make sure it can withstand ample weight being dropped. you don't want to find out the hard way. good job though.
Good job! 2:03 Drilling the holes was the longest part of the project for me. And yes, like you, I fucked up and didn't even drill the holes straight. I didn't disassmeble the pieces tho, just widened the holes while it stood. I also painted all the pieces outside before bringing them in.
Nice job! Yeah, that's smart to paint all the pieces outside. If I ever build this again I'll definitely use a drill press instead of eyeballing the holes with a hand drill.
@@muffemod lucky just found one yesterday for cheep and fast shipping was last in stock. snacthed that up quick. I dont wanna build but for some reason i keep looking at these. Also no idea why im taging you, hell or even sharing this. Hello i am G L O P, how are you my guy?
Great video and great music! I would also like to know which changes you are making on the design, it would be cool if you make a new video! Greetings from Germany
2:05 I tried to build this tonight and after the 1st pole I drilled out, it looked like a drunk did it and I immediately stopped and went online looking for a drill press. How did DIY Duke do it with his tremors?
Amazing job. That is one bad @$$ cage. I was about to pull the trigger to make this cage but then found a metal cage with the same fixtures for $247. The materials alone to make this cage was $200. I might as well go that route and use my time grinding reps. Keep up the good work
awesome job. sorry to hear you had to sell it, you worked so hard on it. that paint color throws me off, it looks like steel and expensive. again really good job. :)
Azan, I built it also and had the same issue with the poles sticking to the holes due to them being too small. However, without a center, I couldn't use the same drill bit to widen the hole. I noticed you aren't using the same one either. Which one did you use to widen the holes?
+Azan Jacobs that bit is 1 1/4"... How did you use it to widen the existing 1 1/4" holes that were done with the first bit? Or did you only use one bit?
No I used two different bits, the first bit I used broke and then I bought the BOSCH NKST20 bit as a replacement. If you look at 2:15 you''ll see how I used the edge of the bit at an angle to widen the holes. My options were limited because I didn't have access to a drill press (which would have made everything easier).
If you used the same thickness beams as the Buff Dudes video suggested, then I think it should be fine. The main risk would be it might warp slightly as it dries. But if everything is assembled tight, even the warping shouldn't be an issue. Happy lifting!
Great job. You are a great augmentation to the original the the buff-guys video. In fact I like your's better, as it shows more frontal shots and wide assembly shots. You alleviated a lot of my frustrations wondering how the bottom is supposed to look. also, being ready to handle the tolerance issues where the L-brackets meet up with the diag supports. I also see that you left the front bottom un-cross-braced..my mind kept going to me face planting on my ins and outs. wondering if yo noticed any sway issues from that. . Great info! and GREAT Tunes.
this is great man. can you tell me the size of the wooden bars (vertical and horizontal ) how much should it carry? is it good to just carry it or will it be okay to through the weight if I fail in my PR?
Nice build, pretty expensive though I'd you're on a budget. I just built my own power rack for under $50 using nothing but wood, custom wood brackets, and bolts. Mine doesnt have all 4 cornered but it does have everything you need including a safety rail both for bench press and squats. I also built an attachment aka cable machine pulley system for another $45 bucks that allows me to do literally anything I would wanna do at the gym on my system. I built a bench, power rack, and cable machine pulley all for $80-$90 bucks and its beyond sturdy.
@@trapps75 if you can imagine this, I'll write out exactly how i made it right now. Home depot has a 70% off lumber section in the back of the store on a cart. Sometimes it's a hit or a miss but I got extremely lucky to find good lumber, however I did end up buying some new. I bought two 4x4x8 from the discount cart for about $4 each. I cut two of them in half to make a 4x4 solid square base for the floor where I wanted the weight to be so it doesnt tip over which was my concern from the start. Once I locked all of the bottom 4x4s together I went back to home depot and grabbed four 2x4x8s and cut them down to 6 and a half feet each because my basement ceiling is only 7 feet to the beam. I was gonna do four corners for a complete power rack but wanted to see how it would work out with just the front corner installed for a half setup. So I doubled up the 2x4x8s in the front left and right corners, then grabbed another 2x4x8 and cut it in half and doubled both pieces going across so they sat on top of the front corners for weight bearing. By the way I connected the two front corners to the 4x4s on bottom with 6 inch 1/2 inch bolts and screwed four 3 inch screws in around it just because I'm OCD. After everything was connected, I wanted to make safety rails so if I went down for a squat and couldn't finish my rep I wouldn't get hurt, I'm also using that same safety bar for my bench press. I cut two 2x4s about 4 feet long and ran it on each sides of the front corner post main supports down to beginning of where you walk into it, and put weight bearing supports 2x4s under it. That took another 2x4x8. Keep in mind all of the 2x4x8s I bought only costed me $1.60 or less. Now as you know when you go to put weights on the barbell you need either handles or some custom wood. Luckily for me I had these solid steal brackets with handles on them that I am using for the bench press part and I created more handles with left over 2x4s little pieces for the squat handles. Okay now on to the pulley system which costed more than the power rack itself. I went the cheap way which I do regret but couldn't do anytbinf about because I'm broke till this day cause of the virus, but I went to home depot once again, bought three 1 1/2 pulleys, 2 sets of clamps that comes with the hooks, and 3/8 or 3/4 inch wire meant to hold 780lbs with the rubber coating on it and one if those hooks that you can squeeze almost for mountain climbing. Okay now imagine this, I created a whole another section in the back of the power rack but connected of the power rack, and I made a 2 1/2 foot square with left over wood, and I connected it directly to the power rack from the bottom into the 4x4s. Next I put another 2x4x8 in the back of that square, bolted it in the back of the square away from the power rack but in the middle outside square, and then ran a 2x4 on top to tie everything together with the power rack to keep it all from swaying and breaking lol. I then made 42 degree cuts all around the power rack and pulley system section for extra support, and the rest you'll see on the video. I am still learning new things as I go, and one of the big regrets I have is not buying 3 inch pulleys or bigger for $20+ because the $5.80 1 1/2 inch I have now are just kinda too resistant and squeak like mad not to mention are gonna break the rubber on the wire any day now. I did get rid of the squeak on all pulleys and resistance however by taking put the cotter pins and applying grease to the piece going thru without getting it on the wheel itself. Video link will be out tomorrow and I'll be sure to link you guys. By the way I'm making my own cement weights as well and barbell using 2 inch pvc piping until I get paid. I plan on buying 1 3/4inch steel pipe as a barbell for bolt $23-$30 bucks and it comes 10 feet at home depot. It beats paying $70-200 on actual gym barbell. But yeah, it all costed me under $85 bucks. If and when i get the money I'm gonna paint it, and get 3 inch pulleys, more wire and make an adjustable pulley system but it's harder to design than I thought. Gets annoying having to keep taking wire off and having to run it to another pulley
Hi Azan, could you tell me the size of the diagonals? The long side would be enough. I am planning how much wood I need, the width of my rack would be slightly different. Thanks in advance.
What do you do if you need to transport it? Im building one soon, but what do i do when i want to move it to another room? my door is way too small for it to fit through. What do i do?
+Bob Olsen You'll have to disconnect the connecting pieces that are perpendicular to the 3/4" catch bars that are on the sides. If I recall when I built mine, they are the 46" lengths - there are three of them: two in the back (top and bottom) and one in the front (top). When you're separating the 46" pieces, you'll remove those 45 degree-cut corner pieces, as well (total of six). Just keep the the large rectangular sides intact and move those to where you plan to place it, then continue from 3:10 in this video to reconnect everything. Of course if you have any additional attachments, like a pull-up bar, you'll have to uninstall and reinstall those, as well. Hope this helps. I just went through a move and had to consider this, too.
+Bob Olsen No worries. With the amount of structural support this build has, you shouldn't have anything to worry about as long as you don't use smaller screws.
I don't really know why you'd want to be able to put the safety bars or rack pins so high up. What lift unracks from above your head? Even the overhead press unracks from collar bone height. Seems like you could have saved time, drilled fewer holes, and left more structural integrity in the wood.
+curlyhairris Yes, you're right.. Now that you mention it, I don't use the higher holes. I was just following the Buff Dudes guide. I didn't really think about that part. lol
It seems that for the ~$250 cost of materials (assuming you have tools and some know how) and time/effort it would be worth it for most people to just buy decent metal rack online. I've been eyeballing a decent 700lbs rated one that's $320. However, DIY regardless of price can definitely make sense if you are contending with low basement ceilings (as you may have been).
good video brother your rack look very good and strong nice job I too am a fan of Buffy make your own equipment video so please let's all go over to their Channel and in the comment section comments saying how much you want new videos new inspiration thank you for being a part of them homemade gym equipment
Hey I used a triangle cutting edge from Homedepot to mark my 45 degree cuts. I think it was around $7 for the triangle cutting edge. Then a friend allowed me to use their miter saw to make clean cuts. If you don't have access to a miter saw, you could do this with a handsaw too. Good luck! :)
How's it working for you? I just started on mine last week and I also was only able to drill 13 holes cause of the ceiling space I have. I'm also doing the same thing that I notice you did in the clip "Referring back to the Buff Dudes clip". Awesome job! I hope to be done with mine within the week.
+Jaakko Nieminen Same. It was very gratifying. I ended up with some extra lumber and made a few additional pieces, too, including a weight tree, a calf block, and a vertical leg press (needed some extra piping for this). Yeah, the Buff Dudes have definitely helped in filling my home gym.
That'd be awesome if you did - thanks! This is what I would do if you don't want to just give out your email over the internet: 1) Go to my UA-cam profile page 2) Go to the 'About' page on my profile page 3) Go to 'Send Message' 4) From there, if you wanted upload some pics to a file hosting website, or even Google Drive or Photos, you could provide the link to those photos in the message. If you get around to doing this, thanks, again! I'm continually improving my home gym, so any external would be certainly welcome!
You did it Azan. Nice work.

DIY Duke, just mount the pull-up bar with two floor flanges in place of the top front wood piece. Then, the wood isn’t in the way.

you could attach bands, maybe.
Did you include tools in total cost? Even if you got prime kddf it's less than 100 for the wood and tie ins
Not in the UK. I've been quoted £500+ for just the wood.
Are there plans for this somewhere? I'd like to build one for my back yard.
Yeah man, check the link in the description for the Buff Dudes video. It's got a detailed step by step guide on how to do it. Best of luck!
hello. I from Vietnam. how long is the size, how wide is the size (cm). Thank you very much

+purelydebased The Buff Dudes rate theirs at 400-500 lbs.. I've tested mine with 220 lbs and it's been fine. I think this could hold 300 - 400 lbs.
Azan, me podrías proporcionar las medidas que usaste para tu rack
Any updates since last year?

+vivalahueva Thank you!
how much it cost you? material
Welldone!!
Excellent!!!
is that fat freddy's drop?
Yes it is! :)
Hey dude!!! I'm about to start on my power rack :) How'd you cut the 10in 90 degree pieces? Thanks in advance!
Hey I used a triangle cutting edge from Homedepot to mark my 45 degree cuts. I think it was around $7 for the triangle cutting edge. Then a friend allowed me to use their miter saw to make clean cuts. If you don't have access to a miter saw, you could do this with a handsaw too. Good luck! :)
Awesome, thanks so much. Also, did you use 9x2" screws or 10x2" screws?
Hey I used these screws:
#8 2 in. Star Flat-Head Wood Screws (1 lb.-Pack) - $6
#10 3 in. Star Flat-Head Wood Screws (1 lb.-Pack) - $6
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU M8
This is really cool lol. I just built a dumbbell rack. I know it’s not the same as a power rack but I was wondering if you’d go check it out lol
How's it working for you? I just started on mine last week and I also was only able to drill 13 holes cause of the ceiling space I have. I'm also doing the same thing that I notice you did in the clip "Referring back to the Buff Dudes clip". Awesome job! I hope to be done with mine within the week.
im view # 159,000 here bc all the gyms are closed in 2020
Wanted to ask if this build would be solidly sturdy on carpet flooring?
Yes. I had mine on carpet. It was thin carpet. But I don't think it will be an issue even if your carpet is thicker.
Misure?
This is a walk in squat rack
so did you end up making it 6 feet high instead of 7?
Yeah, I had to so that it would fit in my basement. But then I couldn't do standing OH press.. :(
just finished mine. I made it 6'6" and stopped at hole 12. it was kinda fun building it
@@carlosdavis6943 can you send me the list of materials please
i did same project 6 months ago :)
+Jaakko Nieminen Same. It was very gratifying. I ended up with some extra lumber and made a few additional pieces, too, including a weight tree, a calf block, and a vertical leg press (needed some extra piping for this). Yeah, the Buff Dudes have definitely helped in filling my home gym.
+Milesamanjaro i made vertical leg press too :) and incline bench and lat pull down machine
Jaakko Nieminen Would you mind linking to some pictures of the leg press and the bench? How did you manage the incline bench?
how can i send pics to you? email? :)
That'd be awesome if you did - thanks!
This is what I would do if you don't want to just give out your email over the internet:
1) Go to my UA-cam profile page
2) Go to the 'About' page on my profile page
3) Go to 'Send Message'
4) From there, if you wanted upload some pics to a file hosting website, or even Google Drive or Photos, you could provide the link to those photos in the message.
If you get around to doing this, thanks, again! I'm continually improving my home gym, so any external would be certainly welcome!
distance from one hole to another
the buff dudes are the best
GOOD STUFF!!!!
good shit
Loos awesome
reflect on your choice to drill hoes without a drill press ^___^ holy shit that sucks!
The buff dude is so tiny
Troppo bassa puoi fare poche cose
Sì, perché il soffitto è troppo basso. :(
@@AzanJacobs sì però l idea mi piace vorrei farla anche io.
Riesci a posare senza problemi un bilanciere? I muralettii sono 5 x 5?
Looks terrible close up
Good job building this...worst song ever lol
I think I prefer to just go to the shop and buy mine...
What was the total cost after?
