Hello all,

I'm a fabricator based in central Maryland, and i've recently got into building gym equipment like the prowler and push-up spikes.

I was looking for new equipment to build for a better price than typically offered and I figured these forums would be the best place to start. I'm looking for ideas, not commitments, so if you've ever had an idea on a new product or to modify an existing one, I'de love to hear it.... Thanks in advance! Also, please e-mail me at [email protected] if you'de like personal feedback.

Here are a few pieces I've recently made, and I have a few in the making...I can basically do anything at the shop, so I don't have any limitations.

Thanks for your time and ideas, I_C


Coated Original Push/Pull sled

Raw push-up spikes, varied sizing

Semi-Gloss dragging sleds, both olympic and standard plate sizes

Again, I'm looking for Ideas and criticism whether it is good or bad.

Thanks all, I_C

Could you make an extra large shopping cart so I don't have to use two when I go shopping? I'd buy that ;)

Haha, I actually had a recent job making aluminum jig-frames for the wires that make the basket.

Thanks all, If anyone has any interest in any of the products feel free to E-mail me- [email protected].

The account is linked to my phone and I'll respond as best as possible. I'm just now starting to work outside of MD. So I don't have an extreme amount of knowledge with shipping, but I could give anyone an estimate.

I'm thinking of building a reverse-hyper, and i'm mocking up a ab grinder now. I've been asked to make a frame for a lifting platform and a monolift which I still haven't put in the time or research because of the holidays. I'll stick to this thread with any updates, everyone have a solid 4th!

1500lbs sounds sweet as the ones in most gyms go to about 900lbs tops (10 45lb plates per side)

I bet you'd have to talk some serious cash for even a basic leg press

If you can find any links or pictures of what you're looking for, that would be a great first step.
