Hey, just thought I'd post a couple pix of my latest projects.   The pullup bars are nice, cause they are bolted together, so if they ever wanted to take them down and store them it's pretty easy, and the holes are positioned perfectly that any piece can attach anywhere and the holes will line up.Had a problem with that weight stand though.  It was rocking pretty bad, the bottom 2x3 piece warped upwards.. I'm guessing cause of the heat when I welded it, to the upright 2x3.   So, I eventually ground off the welds flipped over the bottom 2x3 and re-welded it, now it doesn't rock and its perfect!Next time I build something like that, I should probably just clamp it down when I weld it?  Is that a common practice??Thanks,Derek Attached Images
