@@sryth1What part of the world are you in? I remember lumber prices were super high a few years ago, but I haven't checked since. Looking to do something similar in my garage.
I was literally shopping on Amazon for one of these last week, but I hadn't bought one yet - then I ran across this video. Put it on the "Watch Later list" and went through the holiday weekend. I started watching it Monday morning and liked it a few minutes in, 'cause I think you've just saved me a lot of money. When your "Young Boss" showed up, I wished I could like it all over again. It's really touching to see good quality time spent teaching children, especially girls, to use tools and not be helpless, and even better to show good quality time spent by loving dads! She will cherish these times for the rest of her life. You've got a new sub from me!
@@JoeAButler maybe this video hit a personal note with him. You never know peoples stories. Your comment was not needed. Please choose to spread kindness.
I think a dark grey or dark stain would look great on the exposed wood pieces, however, leaving it exposed brightens up the room and makes the space feel bigger. Great job!
I sat and watched this whole video with absolutely no plan to build it. In fact, I don’t even know how to use a power tool. I just couldn’t stop watching! Great video!
Been following you for a minute. Being a new father myself it was awesome to see you work on this project with your daughter to give me an idea of what I have to look forward to in the future!
Hell yeah. Doing projects where your kid bears some essential task or responsibility is a great way for them to build skills and confidence, as well as bond
Very cool that you included your daughter on this. Let me tell you, you never forget spending time with Dad doing Dad stuff and helping out. Thanks for sharing :)
This is my first time watching. I’m so impressed. I’ve seen a lot of similar makers but never seen threaded inserts or a diagram to show where you’re working before.
So I'm designing a wooden power rack. I watched your video early in the process. I kicked around ideas and drawings. In the end - I needed to figure out how to store some plates at the back of the rack without adding more uprights to it. I came back to your video - your design is almost perfection! I'll make the plate boxes a little higher so I don't have bend so much - but the idea is exactly perfect. Thanks for doing this and for involving your little one! My almost-four-year-old will love helping me execute the build! Thanks!
I plan on building something like this with 4x4s. I built the bench a few months back and loved it. I absolutely love weight training and building stuff from scratch.
Just love your work, enthusiasm, attention to detail, and design eye. No shortcuts. This entire build feels strong and inspires confidence. Thanks so much.
You’re definitely my favourite DIY UA-camr. Wish you’d put up more content because I crave it. Someone give this guy a TV contract or a huge sponsorship please?
Made me smile. Before I was able to afford a real home gym setup I built something really similar using 4x4's and black pipe. I even put a post across the top and strung cable, using garage door pulleys, to set up a system where I had both a pull down and a low row pulley machine. Built my bench out of 2" black pipe and plywood, with high density foam on top. Worked great. I got up to squatting 320 and it held the weight without any problem.
You sir are awesome. I just left some video where this really out of shape dude owned a $8K home garage gyme full of rogue equipment and here you are building a very functional practical rack.. Bad ass.
I'm so glad I subscribed. Gonna make this and the bench for my 19 year old son. He's been into weights for a year and looks like he's not gonna stop. Thanks.
I would suggest using solid metal rods and not hollow ones. This guy is crazy. One good drop with some decent weight and you will see what happens to that bar. There is a reason at the gym they are so thick and solid.
You are an artist. What I know about working with wood comes from my father. He was a Mason in all aspects. I already started to do a power rack but catch a few more ideas fro you. Saludos from Puerto Rico. Your daughter will be an expert soon. Beautiful. Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Made a similar arrangement in my basement back in early 90's. I used 4"x4" instead....attached them to floor joists above and used brackets to attach to concrete at base with tapcons. It didn't require cross attachment..or bracing. I used solid 1" round stock instead of pipe. Also I angled the holes for the short pegs at about 20 degrees so bar wouldn't slip off. I used it with over 400 pounds with no issues. It's great for you to post this and help others out!
I'm so glad you had your "Little Helper" there. She's a Beautiful Young Lady, and from what I seen she knows how to "boss you around 😁". Love the project, instructions and video. Thank You!!!
So glad to see you back my goodness it's been awhile and little bit has grown up so much y'all stay safe God bless peace be with you keep these videos Rockin
Showing a diagram demonstrating your progress is so rare to see yet rather ingenious. Well done! Works so well. You think very, very well. Pragmatic logic through and through.
Your skills and knowledge are amazing. "Where I'm at" should be the new standard for every DIY video on UA-cam. If I could have hit like for every new tip and technique you used, the counter would be 100+.
This one was 90$ lumber, Just add screws and iron pipe for stop bars, should be less than 40-70$ extra in hardware, if you keep it very simple, and build a more permanent version that does not have all the options to take it apart that easily. DIY creators make high quality stuff.
My son just shared this video with me and told me to get to work building this for him since his school is closed and can't lift weights for football so next best thing...great video
my brother, I'm from Brazil and I'm a furniture assembler, I work in this assembly area, your channel is spectacular! this was the best video I've seen about power racks for bodybuilding, I was enchanted to see this beautiful child helping you, I imagine it's your daughter... what a beautiful thing, it enchanted me! I wish you success and congratulations on your work! hug! Blessed!
chin up bar thought: too much flex, should maybe be through the side uprights in the same fashion as the through hooks, with a coupler, would reduce deflection, and maybe avoid those wood screws snapping off, since i'm sure that's going to happen at some point. side note; a standard pine 2x4 is rated to something like 700lbs. 2x6's are more than enough to work as a base material for this sort of thing.
He's got t-nuts on the backside and threaded inserts on the uprights. He'll break the wood before the screws break. Those pan heads have several hundred lbs in sheer strength.
@Dallas its not if, it's when. and they'll probably pop their heads. i've seen it. heck, i've seen heads on those pop more than any other single method of breaking/deformation. and the way this is set up, most of the load is resting on those heads, and is partially pulling out, and partially down, which would give a diagonal sheer. pretty sure its going to fail sooner, rather than later. if it was a static load, like the weight storage bars? probably last for years and years. but adding in a dynamic randomish motion load like a chin up bar has, nah. its going to fail. a through hole setup would solve the entire issue and spread the load across the frame entirely vs those 8 screws heads.
@@kenabi Yea, it will pop eventually, especially since the force at an angle is always in flux, it's not like it's holding it, it's all over the place in a bunch of little directions I would say get 2 2x6, mount them running the whole way plus about 8-10 inches out past along the top ends. drill all the way though and mount with 2x 1/4 inch through bolts in each main pylon, then you've got 4x 1/4 inch through bolts, you're passing the load to both pylons, you're attached on the outside which gives you more bracing and rigidity to the frame, and then your cross bar can just straight across, put a flange with through bolts on one side and run it through a hole and have the other end threaded with a cap that tightens into it. This reduces hardware costs by a good bit, removes extra angles that work against your design, and adds rigidity to the frame. As a bonus you can get about 6-8 inches of chain, get a good climbing caribeener and a slip open off-road pulley (like $30 bucks for both) and boom, you can do pull downs. If you mimic this design on the bot you can pulley there and have essentially an entire cable machine setup for ya.
the hardware store can cut and thread the pipe for you for free too. If you want a slimmer profile on the back you can make concrete weight boxes that slide onto a cleat on the frame, then you don't have to worry about having to rack your weights just to do pull ups, good for doing mixed sets and keeping the weight on the bar. You don't even have to actually make the concrete up, just wrap it in a good trash bag and build a simple box around it. Put a handle on for if you have to move it and boom, done. The cleats could go on the frame even if you built out the "footer" about 8 inches along the back if you haven't built one of these yet Also, get some of those foam pool noodles to put on the safety bars, it's not required but keeps things a bit more quiet and helps prevent things from getting dinged and scratched up as fast
Most people wouldn't have put that much thought and patience into a rack. Kudos! Using the layered 2x's actually makes it stronger than just "lagging" some 4x's together.👍
This is incredible! Your work is always impressive, but this blew me away. I had a hard enough time putting together a DIY pull-up bar in my garage. Thanks for the inspiration, bro. Keep up the amazing work!
Great build! One observation, If you put the wooden barbell holders on the inside post, same post as squat rack side, you can fully use the safety bar while bench pressing.
This is such a great idea! Also your little one is beautiful. There is nothing better then having your kids help. My daughters are ALWAYS in the garage with me.
So much love and thought went until this. 👍🏽 Plus great memories with you daughter and her own good eyes and hands are put to this project. A triumph DIY!
Government: We're closing everything, don't have a plan to reopen... DIY Creators: Aight, bet... This is the best designed DIY rack I've seen in youtube, good job.
Maybe if I had the thousands of dollars worth of power tools he used here it would be worth making, but it would honestly be cheaper just to buy a pre-made power rack considering I don't have all those tools.
@@thenew4559 He mentioned at the beginning why he did it and why people might be interested in doing it themselves. The current situation has made buying equipment very difficult/impossible. I bought my equipment more than a month ago, and options were very limited already, then.
@@thenew4559 where's the thousands of dollars on power tools he used? This build is basically done with a circular saw, which can be easily found for less than $80, a drill, a handsaw and a sander. Less than $200 in all those.
ROIDS MAN! There's no way you can build a weight rack like that without being on some of juice, especially being in quarantine! Awesome work bro. Seriously, what a great effort, amazing!
I just love to see you ideas come to life right before my eyes and being a Dad myself to seeing your little girl join in is everything. Happy Father's Day to you!
I never watch construction videos so all of this is pretty foreign. A few minutes I appreciate the "where I'm at" guide or thee names of each specific tool for clueless people like me. Easy and informative watch.
I loved this video - need to build a setup for myself and this is pure gold. Loved the care and attention to detail. Even better, got your daughter involved. Great builder, better dad from the looks of things.
Took me five minutes to stop laughing at your comment. Yes, it is a power rack, not a squat rack, but squats are such an integral part of why you need a power rack. Also, started watching this video thinking, great, let's build a power rack instead of spending $$$$$$$$$, how bad could it be? About 10 minutes into the video I realized I need to start saving up.
I have to say I love the way you did the corners on your frame while you were doing the pocket holes. At 2:19 you used a cut off piece and two bessey clamps to make that corner square. I have only ever seen people use the $50 kreg corner jig and I'm like, "I am not buying that" but I never found a better way. UNTIL NOW! Thank you!
Just came across this guy and the first thing I said was "this dude looks like Roddy Ricch" lol Great video gonna be watching more of your videos for sure!!
i made something similar out of metal with a pulldown attachment instead of a pullup bar, it's not as clean as this, but i'm still proud of it almost 8 years later.
love that wrench trick for keeping the drill level during a project like this where the angle of the hole kinda matters. Super cool technique thank you!
@@diannwhitaker6 I'll stick to my drill press where even when my drill hits the metal I dont need to play with trigger to increase or lower speed, so the blade wont stop nor use force to push the drill in.
@@diannwhitaker6 Cutting oil is used only to keep drill from overheating and getting dull. Ive worked with metal, wood and plastic/acrilic/plexi for a long time and using oil to keep drill lasting longer is one of the first lesson you learn. I was comparing using a proper drill press to a hand drill when drilling loads of holes in thick metal. Even with oil and low speed which you still need to increase/lower manually the trigger and apply downforce either with hand or whole body cause hand drill cannot have same enough of torque and downforce as drill press have.
Michael Fairchild I know a hand drill doesn’t have the same torque as a drill press. I only spoke on using oil for metal on metal to avoid overheating.
This is one of the best DIY videos I’ve ever seen. You specify everything including the bit sizes, the wrench trick for free-hand drilling, the “where I’m at”, etc. The project looks great.
Came to learn how to build a power rack & end up watching god level carpentry. I saw a fellow enjoying what he loves, probably not realizing himself how much of a badass he is, such humble and beautiful work. 👍👍👍👍
The “where im at” identifier is pure genius! Well done!
Same!!!!!!!!
At what point does he show that
agreed
@fall3n look at the top right corner of the video when he starts talking about a new section. Like at 12:49
@@SridharJayakumar thanks
The “Where I’m At” is an amazing idea

It is!

Yes. Thats genius.
Yep!
That tip about putting a wrench on the drill is a game changer!

Your probably right but using something that you know you built with your own hands is worth more than money

@@thenew4559 He mentioned at the beginning why he did it and why people might be interested in doing it themselves. The current situation has made buying equipment very difficult/impossible. I bought my equipment more than a month ago, and options were very limited already, then.
Man, that's on the money.
Lol
@@thenew4559 where's the thousands of dollars on power tools he used? This build is basically done with a circular saw, which can be easily found for less than $80, a drill, a handsaw and a sander. Less than $200 in all those.
ROIDS MAN! There's no way you can build a weight rack like that without being on some of juice, especially being in quarantine! Awesome work bro. Seriously, what a great effort, amazing!
🤣🤣🤣Yeah roids!
I just love to see you ideas come to life right before my eyes and being a Dad myself to seeing your little girl join in is everything. Happy Father's Day to you!
I’ve built one with lag bolts and I’m happy I did it this way instead of screws
Awesome project. I can't even conceptualize something like this, never mind make it.
I think you'll get a workout just putting this thing together... you can skip the _actual_ exercises LOL... as always, your projects look great!
I call it my "wax on-wax off" exercise. (showing my age, much? hahaha)
@@felicadawn62 Mr. Miyagi doesn't play around,
very cool, that girl will be President one day.
I never watch construction videos so all of this is pretty foreign. A few minutes I appreciate the "where I'm at" guide or thee names of each specific tool for clueless people like me. Easy and informative watch.
I'm a union finish carpenter and have to say you have a nice skill set and great communication skills.
COULD YOU PLZ MAKE ALL WOODEN GYM EQUIPMENTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE..?
Agreed 120%
Would be awesome!
Totally!
Man, beautiful work. If you don’t mind my asking, how did you learn carpentry skills?
With a lot of people such as myself it just comes with the passage of life, and a willingness to learn new things, different jobs, etc.
I loved this video - need to build a setup for myself and this is pure gold. Loved the care and attention to detail. Even better, got your daughter involved. Great builder, better dad from the looks of things.
His boss or Dad was White
@@edwardwhite221 Or possibly just a Gaslight.
He minds so don't ask.
What was the total cost for material here? I really like this and might just build a version of this 🤔
All materials used are listed, so you can check your local prices
The wrench on the drill bit tip is fantastic!
I don't need to build a power rack but watched your video regardless, very satisfying. Good Job Glen!
This man is a perfectionist lol what a beast !!! Beautiful work !!!
I don't like to squat
Builds a squat rack.
👍
one way to start liking squats
Obviously to curl
Took me five minutes to stop laughing at your comment. Yes, it is a power rack, not a squat rack, but squats are such an integral part of why you need a power rack.
Also, started watching this video thinking, great, let's build a power rack instead of spending $$$$$$$$$, how bad could it be?
About 10 minutes into the video I realized I need to start saving up.
Power racks are multi-functional lol
and its not a Squat Rack..
"Where I'm at" = genius
I have to say I love the way you did the corners on your frame while you were doing the pocket holes. At 2:19 you used a cut off piece and two bessey clamps to make that corner square. I have only ever seen people use the $50 kreg corner jig and I'm like, "I am not buying that" but I never found a better way. UNTIL NOW! Thank you!
Been debating on building my own rack, went with 4x4s, but this is the best build I've seen yet, may scrap and start over, well done sir
You look like roddy rich's older brother lol
I was like... "who does he look like?".
Facts 😂🤣😂😅
Dead ass lmao
Roddy Middle Class
Just came across this guy and the first thing I said was "this dude looks like Roddy Ricch" lol Great video gonna be watching more of your videos for sure!!
I think he looks and sounds a lot like Roy Jones Jr.
i made something similar out of metal with a pulldown attachment instead of a pullup bar, it's not as clean as this, but i'm still proud of it almost 8 years later.
love that wrench trick for keeping the drill level during a project like this where the angle of the hole kinda matters. Super cool technique thank you!
I love the way you get your kids involved ... Respect!
Im so glad, I own a drill press. Drilling many holes in thick metal with a hand drill can be a pain in the ass. Did that and not recommend.
Michael Fairchild put it at low speed and add oil to the steel. You’ll thank me later
@@diannwhitaker6 I'll stick to my drill press where even when my drill hits the metal I dont need to play with trigger to increase or lower speed, so the blade wont stop nor use force to push the drill in.
Michael Fairchild the oil actually helps the 2 metals from overheating while drilling.
@@diannwhitaker6 Cutting oil is used only to keep drill from overheating and getting dull. Ive worked with metal, wood and plastic/acrilic/plexi for a long time and using oil to keep drill lasting longer is one of the first lesson you learn. I was comparing using a proper drill press to a hand drill when drilling loads of holes in thick metal. Even with oil and low speed which you still need to increase/lower manually the trigger and apply downforce either with hand or whole body cause hand drill cannot have same enough of torque and downforce as drill press have.
Michael Fairchild I know a hand drill doesn’t have the same torque as a drill press. I only spoke on using oil for metal on metal to avoid overheating.
Would like to see you add Smith machine bars! Subbed!
Can you do a DIY luke alarm so I can kick myself out of my house for being too loud?
This is one of the best DIY videos I’ve ever seen. You specify everything including the bit sizes, the wrench trick for free-hand drilling, the “where I’m at”, etc. The project looks great.
Came to learn how to build a power rack & end up watching god level carpentry. I saw a fellow enjoying what he loves, probably not realizing himself how much of a badass he is, such humble and beautiful work. 👍👍👍👍
