DIY Leg press machine

[@unoassasuni5072]

I was inspired with you bench press machine and built one after a week of buying necessary parts and another week of putting your technical directions to work. I couldn't reach your level of finesse and aesthetic outlook, but I am quite satisfied with that. You speak humbly and teach every detail with care which is why I got to like you and your channel much. Keep it up!

[@MattLees-Nunan]

Thank you so much. So very kind of you to say💓 I'm glad the video has come in handy for you😊

[@zanegriggs5166]

How did you attach the circular bar to the sliding rails? Weld?

[@jpca2177]

This is badass, these machines retail for so much money. Great job man

[@MattLees-Nunan]

Haha cheers! It was desperate times😄

[@Oh6Torch]

My first thought was, “this thing is chinsier than the legs I’m looking to grow.” But you gave me a lot of great ideas. So thank you! I’m going do this with much more bracing, thicker lumber and fabricated metal brackets.

[@MattLees-Nunan]

Hahaha I'm glad I could help you out with some ideas! Let me know how you go🙂

Hi Mario, thank you for watching! If you have instagram or an email, I can send you a photo?

[@gio144]

Sorry, one more question. If you put your foot very high on the top edge of the foot plate, does it still go up smoothly or does it pinch on the bottom square tube and get stuck? Thanks again.

[@MattLees-Nunan]

No need to apologise! I love the questions🙂 If you put the extra bit of 2×4 in place then no it won't. Once again that photo I sent you will hopefully clarify things a bit👊

[@gio144]

Don't the bolts that are attached through and to the side of each 40mm square tube, grind or impede the smoothness of the sliding action?

[@MattLees-Nunan]

No, not one bit actually! That's why they're on there to act as a guide. You will see it on the photo I sent you. It will make sense🙂 Just make sure to put dry lubricant on machine every so often👍

[@reddragonsubliminal6440]

Great job. One question how do you attach the pipe to hold the weights to sliding sleeve? On video looks like you drill a hole to hold pipe but how does it slide up and down? Ty

[@billyt9921]

How did you connect the bar through the centre of the 40mm box section steal? If you put a bolt thru it surely it will interfere with it sliding up and down????

[@audi_5]

@@MattLees-Nunan Thank you matt, but also can you tell me if these measurements at the beginning are in mms or cms? if they are mm measurements, then the leg press is 65cm wide( because the thing you attack the rack for the bar to slide, to, is 63cm wide and the wood for the rack to stand on is like 2cm wide as well, and 2 meters long without counting the bar), also can I put any bar inside of there? I have one already at home, it is like 180cm wide and I can put 100kg on the bar.

I’ve no idea how you fix the weight loading bar to the box section so it still slides. On the the video it appears the bolt goes through both sections which would just lock it in place.
