Thanks for idea bro. Respect from Croatia !

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome 😁👍🏻

[@johnclough5531]

That’s sick awesome job I’m going to be making one of these👍👍

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks! Yeah it's great, doesn't take up much space either

[@askhenry]

Great looking project. How have the pipes held up? Have they been able to support the weight or have they bent a lot over time?

[@JonnyDIY]

Thank you. Yes they've held up great, if worried and wanted something a lil stronger I'd suggest using black gas pipe 👍

[@cyyrious]

Great job... do you workout in that get up though???

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks. Haha 🤣 Nope I have regular work out clothes 👍🏻

[@Jamah35h]

You mention to drill a hole slightly smaller than the pipe's size. What drill bit size did you choose and what is the external diameter of the Conduit pipe?

[@JonnyDIY]

I believe the conduit was 3/4" outer diameter so just a bit a size smaller than that.

[@nestorijan]

Awesome project, thank you for the video

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks! & Youre welcome 😀 👍🏻

Kool man thanks 👍

Makita the best !

One of the best yes! Dewalt & Milwaukee too

[@nimkal]

Wow, I actually can't wait to make one of these for the weight plates in my garage. I was looking for something like this! Pretty cool. Does it hold up well though in the long term? Like do those pipes get lose at all in their respective holes within that 2x6?

[@JonnyDIY]

Its held up well but I try and put weights back carefully. I imagine they could loosen a bit over time but could be easily fixed with clamping a washer and hose clamp on the pipe on each side of the wood. Or you could make layer 2 or 3 pieces of the wood stacked together for the upright giving a lot more meat for the pipe to pass through

[@nimkal]

@@JonnyDIY I was actually thinking of doing this exact build and add a 2nd 2x6 upright, just like you say, to make it a beefy core. The holes should be quite sturdy with just that and last long enough I think. Other than that I think I will just add corner metal clamps on the interiors of the foot base, to keep the feet strongly together and that should make it a strong base.

[@JonnyDIY]

@@nimkal that sounds plenty strong, have fun with the build 🤙

[@nimkal]

@@JonnyDIY Awesome, thanks for the reply mate.

[@Hallenyoyo]

@@nimkal I thought of using a threaded rod. Then you can just use two nutes to clap it to the wood. But might be a little bit pricier then just a pipe.

[@tylerk.7947]

Hell yeah Johnny boy! I’m going to build one of these but I’m gonna put it on casters since I have limited space. Hey random question though. Do you know what that yellow flowering plant is all over your backyard? Is that some kind of primrose or buttercup? I’m curious, it’s nice but looks mildly invasive lol

[@JonnyDIY]

Nice casters would be good. I belive it is buttercup, we always just called it sourgrass round these parts. And yes! It is invasive, theres seems to be no way of getting rid of it. You can pull it out and itll be right back the next year. It does somewhat go away during the hot summer months though

[@deandoyle3009]

Awesome 👌

[@JonnyDIY]

Thank you! 👍

[@deandoyle3009]

@@JonnyDIY loved making mine, I made the centre piece out of 90mmX90mm post . Works so good and only took 1 hour 45 minutes

[@JonnyDIY]

@@deandoyle3009 that's great, glad it turned out well and wasn't too hard of a task 👍

I just did it, all the mess has gone thanks to your idea, mine isn't so great but does his work. Thanks a lot

[@JonnyDIY]

@@mauricio0341able you're welcome, glad you got it done and freed up some floor space 👍🏻

[@amolagarwal9486]

Great video. Can you share the link for the pipe please.

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks! and here you go 👍🏻 amzn.to/3gUL7Ly

[@breevellalos]

Any thoughts how to add space to hold the bar upright in the center?

[@JonnyDIY]

Yes I would probably just either screw a length of thick PVC type plastic pipe to the side of tower that it could slide in or Id just put a piece of wood with a hole in it to top of tower and then slide bar down through it to floor

[@nachoverde9356]

great idea...simple build. thanks

[@JonnyDIY]

You're welcome 👍🏻

[@robertcollins9056]

Hey Jonny what size conduit pipe did you use? Was it a 3/4 inch or 1 inch? Thank you!

[@JonnyDIY]

3/4" I believe 👍 you're welcome, glad I could help

[@robertcollins9056]

@@JonnyDIY thank you! If I used a 3/4 “ spade bit would that still work? Or does it need to be a 7/8” spade bit

[@JonnyDIY]

@@robertcollins9056 3/4" bit will work. Ideally you want hole just slightly smaller than pipe so itll fit tight.

[@nickashline5071]

@@JonnyDIY if you used 3/4” pipe, and then a 7/8” spade bit, wouldn’t the pipe not be tight Since the bit would be bigger than the pipe? You must have used 1” pipe and for it to fit right with the 7/8 spade, correct?

[@JonnyDIY]

@@nickashline5071 yes you're right I must have used 1" pipe. Sorry about that. Yes I used 1" pipe and a 7/8" bit

[@mkingc88]

Great video bro. Definitely making one now thanks! You got my sub!

[@JonnyDIY]

Awesome & Thank you. And thanks for the Sub! 😁👍🏻

[@ridocf]

How much did the materials cost u in total? (Just the mats that u used to make the whole rack, not the tools and stuff lol) Thank u!

[@BuddyBearCreator]

ahhh nice circular saw! 7"??

[@JonnyDIY]

6 1/2 i think 🤙🏼

[@bretthansen4773]

You have a flame thrower....cool!

[@JonnyDIY]

Yeah makes quick work doing the shou sugi ban finish. Did a whole fence with it too 😁👍🏻

[@stanstrickland8196]

I didn't add the side braces, mine is steady without them

[@JonnyDIY]

Awesome, 2x6 lumber or bigger?

[@kodiham7532]

Nice job! Who uses the weights?

[@JonnyDIY]

Lol I "used" to 🤣👍🏻

[@dylanblack6162]

How much wood did you use in this build length wise? Great vid!

[@JonnyDIY]

Thanks, you could get probably get away with making it with only 1 8ft piece, but always good to have an extra in case you need it or make mistakes

[@gurvinderpanesar8071]

2:35

[@ZOMOGOD]

theres always one

[@m1noladea]

what kind of wood was that?

[@JonnyDIY]

Just regular lumber from hardware store. So Douglas Fir or Pine 👍🏻

[@m1noladea]

Jonny DIY nice thx bro, much appreciated from Belgium! Keep up the great job

[@T0YCHEST]

Would this design hold 10 45lb weights and 2 35lb and 2 25lb 6 10lb 2 5lb and 2 2.5lb

[@JonnyDIY]

Yes should work fine, will have to make taller and expand the length of legs out some to give a lil more stability for that much weight. I thought of a more simple design after this build that I used before making a clothes rack. Here's a similar pic, the legs just go all around the base. I would use 2x10 for your build though. rainonatinroof.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/diy-clothes-rack-printable-size-dividers-7.jpg

[@JonnyDIY]

Heck you may want to use like a 4x6 in the middle or double up the 2x10 to give the pegs a little more wood in the middle for all that weight. Almost 600 lbs

[@JonnyDIY]

Or maybe something like this in middle i0.wp.com/www.endofthreefitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/Weight-Storage-16.jpg?resize=700%2C950

[@T0YCHEST]

@@JonnyDIY I was thinking about putting pipes not going from only one side left-right but back and front; protruding out of all sides. Using your measurements but with bigger wood and maybe enforcement with some metal sheets?

[@JonnyDIY]

Yeah that would work. Yeah maybe get some metal L brackets. Those always help to add a lil more sturdiness
