That was a nice build, and I enjoyed watching. For those of us that weld, this is an attainable project. The angled square stock that supports the cross pieces, you could cap those with black plastic caps, or weld them closed. You could consider adding some rubber to the angle, so there's less bang when you drop your dumbbells down.
I had a cheap dumbbell rack idea where I just bought a dumbbell rack from walmart and replaced the bars with 3/4-in long bars from home depot. Walmart sells a cheap rack for maybe about $35 then you spend and extra 30 maybe on some really long 3/4" bars and jam them right in the round holes. Honestly the bars will barely fit so they dont move, hell I even sold it and made a profit.
That’s a great idea. This project is definitely not cheap (metal is sky high right now) But I enjoy building things and making them to my exact liking even if it’s not the most cost effective. I’m not suggesting everyone does the same, I’m just sharing something I love to do and take pride in. Thanks for commenting!
I was definitely worried about that at first. But come to find out the sucker is heavy. You really have to put your weight into it to make it roll. Especially on gym mats. Thanks for asking
