    You never really know what to expect when you post a video on TH-cam. I am very thankful for all the views I have gotten so far, it's very gratifying. My wife and I just moved from Florida to Colorado, from a house into an apartment. I have a garage here, I just need to get it set up for some projects. I have some ideas for more videos and I definitely want to make more. Thanks for watching and we'll see you soon.

      Overall a god and clean video, especially for your first time, but you would increase the durability if you would have oiled it afterwards. The Glue will have nearly no effect since you oiled the most important part of your staff, the sides that you stick into the holes. Glue wont have much of an effekt, when you glue the top part of wood (end grain). Only the sides (wall plate) hold for sure. I am an carpenter from Germany. Sorry for my bad English, but i hope you understand what i mean.
      Oil and any other surface treatment only make sence to apply before, if you don`t want any spilled glue to stick. But you can always clean fresh glue with warm water and a toothbrush.
      I recommend you to drill a 6mm wide to at leat 60+mm (2,3 inch) long partial thread screw. Partial thread means that the thread is clean at the top part, so that the sides will be pultruded to the staff. Even Nails would be better than nothing, since the nails would make the same effekt like you see from staffs that hold hammerheads. Otherwhise the staff will probably pulls itself out until it breaks while you trained with it and that could hurt a lot.
      Keep up your creativity and enthusiasm :-)

    I made a pair of wooden parallettes and glued a 3 mm piece of cork to the bottom to prevent slipping. Works very well and looks nice

    If you add the slip pads before you oil it. Then they should be able to stick. Also maybe only sand those spots to 180 grits at highest. Basically rough it up for better adhesion and wait to oil since the oil hinders adhesion aswell

    I bought a cheap yoga mat from Five Below to cut out some pads. I used Gorilla Glue Construction Adhesive to glue it to the plywood I used for my version. I think it will work out okay.

    Does it matter if the dowel is halfway in the base or all the way through? I don’t want to sacrifice the look if it doesn’t matter

    • @woodworkingout
      @woodworkingout  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      I'm still regularly using the ones I made in the video and haven't had any issues (yet). If you want the clean aesthetic, I'd recommend trying to get the dowels as far into the wood as you can without going through.

      The dowels were set 7/8" deep into the wood, you could probably do as little as 5/8", maybe less.

    Great video. I enjoyed your relaxed style and great camera work.
    I need to get in shape and have looked into these. Not so much for push ups but one day I hope to be able to do L-sits and some of the crazy stuff these calisthenics youtubers are doing like the planche.
    Anyways, I thought $40 on amazon for these considering how simple they look to make seemed like a waste of money when I could make them myself. I had a rough idea on how to make these myself and wanted to get some further ideas. The way you made yours is roughly the same way I'd make mine. I would use a miter saw to make all the cuts but that's my style.
    I saw some on amazon who's product listing feature mentioned running a screw into the dowel however this might not be necessary. I think wood glue is plenty strong and alone should suffice. What do you think?
    I have hard floor surfaces at home so I would benefit from rubber pads underneath. Maybe some hard rubber mat material. Although I'd have to research what type of glue, cement, epoxy to use to attach it to the parallettes.
    I think one solution to the leveling issue would be to sand the bottoms down. Maybe tape down a large piece of sand paper onto a table and run the parallettes until completely flat and level.

    • @woodworkingout
      @woodworkingout  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you man, I appreciate it. It's more fun to make them yourself anyway, although buying is not a bad option for some.
      We only have the chop saw and circular saw, the project would definitely benefit from having more/different equipment. Getting things set up for the circular saw can be kinda tedious, but I like using a lot of clamps, so I don't mind haha. Whenever you get yours finished, I'd be curious to check them out.
      It's been about 2 years and the wood glue has continued to hold up fine, they've been indestructible. I've ended up mainly using them on carpet, so the leveling issue hasn't been a problem lately. Your idea is great and I'll incorporate that next time I make some.
      You'll get your L-Sits in no time my dude. Keep after it!

    @raybbaby 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    As far as no slip pads go, Just use any pieces of rubber or latex you like the feel of, and use that gorilla glue and put a block between the clamp and the rubber. Let it set up overnight. There ya go. A heads up play in the future would be to attach your no-slip thingies BEFORE you oil the wood. That is why the adhesive can't grab ahold of the wood. Cool vid though.

    • @woodworkingout

    • @woodworkingout
      @woodworkingout  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You'd be surprised how strong most woods are, especially in such a low-impact use case. I used Pine for the side supports. Although Pine is considered a softwood, they're holding up really well and feel strong. The bars are made from an Oak dowel, which is a hardwood, which is even stronger and more rigid. I would just avoid particle board or plywood for this particular project. Most lumber you get from the hardware store should work out fine.
