Very inspiring build! What do you think the total weight of the board is?

Yo dude! I’m mid way through my build and was thinking about an adjustable height just like you did so! Apart from the 4 hinges. Did you add anything to secure it?
@benkneeland4 ай бұрын
@@looperdup yo! I added chains to the top of the flip up section so it’s supported in the top corners. Other than the hinges it seems to be enough. There is a small amount of flex but it’s never been a problem.

great video dude! quick question, have your kids tried the tension board? Would they be able to do the lower level routes! Thanks in advance!
@benkneeland5 ай бұрын
@@looperdup I have a 9 year old that can use the board with the largest holds. I love the tension board for that reason, the moon board is too hard if you are a beginner or if you’re coming back from an injury. The fact it’s adjustable allows my 7 year old to get on at the less steep angles too.

RE: Drilling the bolts - Pilot holes are good beta, and I'd add using a chalk grid to line everything up perfectly. I used a handheld straight edge for my first build and ended up with things slightly off, actually, but the chalk lines I used on my second build were perfectly straight (and easier to set). RE: LED chutes - You know, honestly, I did something similar with a handheld circular saw. :-p It's just an old framing technique. But I do think the way you did it with the table saw is sketchier, as it's much harder to ensure you don't get pulled into the blade if it catches. For my next build I'm probably going to use a table saw, but with the blade set to the right height so I can just push the piece through level with the table. Maybe there's even a blade we could use that's fit for that purpose? I'm not sure… RE: O-Rings - I'm glad to see those are working for you. (I'm sure it helps that your board is lighter 2x4 construction.) I went with through-bolted D-rings which I bought from an arborist/rigging store, simply because I was absolutely paranoid about peak forces eventually damaging the O's.

Is only 4 studs enough for stability? I'm working on stud spacing for mine and am looking at 7 2x8s spaced at 45mm but if less is just as stable I'd happily avoid the work.
@benkneeland Жыл бұрын
I found 4 studs is probably fine, but if you don’t mind the wall being more heavy maybe adding an extra stud would be helpful. There is a bit of wiggle when the wall is being adjusted and it’s only only being supported by the winch. But once the chains are in place and the winch is tight the board feels pretty secure.

Looks awesome! Are those 2 x 6 boards for your frame? Also, do you have a link for your hinges you used?
@benkneeland Жыл бұрын
They are 2x4 so the weight wouldn’t get out of hand when adjusting the angle. It’s a tad more wobbly than I would like but it still is solid enough even with bigger climbers on it. I don’t have a specific link for the hinges, got them at lowes, they are heavy duty though. I am quite happy with only installing 4 hinges at the base and the top section.

Nice setup. A tablesaw blade can be lowered up and down, making it much more safe to just push across instead of holding the wood like that.
@jedkai29 Жыл бұрын
100% please don’t use your table saws like this, lower the blade and ideally use a cross sled to push the wood across

Nice job on the wall, and I hope you're enjoying it! Would you mind giving an update on how it has held up? Anything you'd have done differently now that you've had it for a year?
@benkneeland Жыл бұрын
Thanks! It held up really well, I love the adjustable feature and the option to peel the top rows back so I can use it at less steep angles even though I have 11 ft ceiling. Installing the wires went a bit different than I’d imagined, but all I had to do was drill new holes in the hinge section so they can reach when the top rows are pulled back.

#5 beginner version? It doesn´t look like beginner
@benkneeland4 жыл бұрын
This beginner version might need some clarification... if you sit super low into a resting position on one leg it’s not too hard, BUT you need a lot of mobility to access it. I recommend starting in a sitting position on a chair or box and stand up with one foot first. There are a lot of stepping stones to master this exercise, I didn’t break all of them down in this particular video.

Hey! The Deadbug press? This is a great way to build resistance to trunk extension (used in every climbing movement) and teaches the athlete how to press with core engagement. Most traditional bench press exercises are through back extension and negate the core aspect of shoulder flexion. By engaging the core and hip flexors we build a much more applicable pressing movement to create high transfer to the wall.
