Being Nice paid off!

admin

I work out at a gym and do a program called Crossfit. They  had been storing their 1.25 – 10lb plates in a box. This was a pain because you had to dig to find what you wanted.  I built them a plate tree to hang the weights on and they liked it and cut my membership dues for my daughter. I built the tree just to be nice. I was not looking to get anything for it.The other day they asked be to build a +12’  plate box to store the bumper plates. Now my dues are really going to get cut!!!! Attached ImagesDave ReberWadsworth Ohio

Reply:Very nice! I recently spoke with a local crossfit place to make them a kettle bell rack. They have ~48 weights, weighing in from 79lb to 16lb. Trying a few different sketches to figure the best way to do it: to organize it by weight size while still leaving some room for additions, as well has having it safe, low to the ground, and taking up the least amount of room.The welder they hired for their monkey bar setup made me sad. Every pipe joint (probably 500+) wasn't coped. Not even flattened. Just flat-out 90 degree pipe end butted to another pipe, with a little 3/4" long weld top and bottom. They said they were going to a new location in a few months, hopefully the weight rack gets me first-crack at making a PROPER setup for them! Plus, of course, finally getting a NICE tube coping machine!Miller: 200dx, Bobcat 225, Passport, Powermax 45, Milwaukee: Dry Saw, MagDrill, grinders

Reply:Crossfit is the only way to go in my opinion.
Reply:Thanks and crossfit is amazing!!A few trainers in the gym are MMA fighters and former college wrestlers and they say it is the best work out out side of a wrestling room. Some work outs I'm near panic thinking I cannot breath enough oxygen.JohnRI never thought about the kettle bells the way they have them set up is kind of sloppy also.Dave ReberWadsworth Ohio
