- This easy to make machine only took a day to construct and is easy to follow with the instructions provided. Since the machine has been built out of bolts and batten screws, it's able to be disassembled very easily!
The machine is also very affordable, with it costing only $150 to make the whole process even more satisfying💵😊

Good luck🤙 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I was inspired with you bench press machine and built one after a week of buying necessary parts and another week of putting your technical directions to work. I couldn't reach your level of finesse and aesthetic outlook, but I am quite satisfied with that. You speak humbly and teach every detail with care which is why I got to like you and your channel much. Keep it up!
Thank you so much. So very kind of you to say💓 I'm glad the video has come in handy for you😊
How did you attach the circular bar to the sliding rails? Weld?
This is badass, these machines retail for so much money. Great job man
Haha cheers! It was desperate times😄
This is awesome!
My first thought was, “this thing is chinsier than the legs I’m looking to grow.” But you gave me a lot of great ideas. So thank you! I’m going do this with much more bracing, thicker lumber and fabricated metal brackets.
Hahaha I'm glad I could help you out with some ideas! Let me know how you go🙂
Hey did you make yours? Do you mind sharing some pics?
@@qfloyd25 yeah sure! Which sections would you like pics? I will send them to your email👍
@@MattLees-Nunan send to qfloyd25@yahoo.com thanks. Trying to get ideas to make my own

Thank you for these videos, been watching all of them.
Going to make the leg curl/extension machine on monday.
Hello from Belgium !!!!!!
Fantastic! I look forward to hearing how it goes😊
@@MattLees-Nunan I was wondering, is the adjustable bench you built completly flat ?
I can't seem to see it flat on the video.
Love these videos at the moment have just started sourcing the materials to have a go at building the treadmill you made
Keep the videos coming.
Liked an subbed.
Thank you very much. Glad you like them😊 Let me know if you need any help as you go along👍
Vc é o melhor 🔥
good one
Omg! Your videos are awesome! Tomorrow I'm gonna be doing a bench for lifting weights and it's based on the one you did in a video. I think my next project will be this one, thanks bro. Greetings from Mexico.
Hola hermano!! Gracias😁Que bueno!! Enviarme fotos despues de projecto. Me encanta verlos👌
@@MattLees-Nunan Claro!! :)

You re Over the Top
I'll take that! Thank you😊
I got a new leg press machine thanks to you
Awesome!!! Do you have instagram and be interested in posting it in a story to me?😊
@@MattLees-Nunan I'll post photos soon
@@alparslanemredurmus7949 Brilliant, can't wait!
Genioooo
Not bad. Nice
Will you give it a try do you think?

How do you connect the galvanized pipe to the slides?
Hi! Please send email and I will send a photo!
Not bad! 👍
Thank you!🙂
No. 3 METRES long. A METER is a measuring instrument. Why can't TH-cam spell the subtitles in English properly? US Engrish?
I no how frustrating that is! Hopefully it's something their working on🤞
Молодец чувак, тоже летом попробую сделать.
Thank you
genio total saludos desde argentina
Bueno y gracias😁
No entiendo las medidas podrías explicarlas en pulgadas te lo agradecería muchísimo excelente trabajo.
how did you turn the round iron into the square iron?
congratulations for the channel !!!
Thank you friend. I bought the round metal separately😊
Don't the bolts that are attached through and to the side of each 40mm square tube, grind or impede the smoothness of the sliding action?
No, not one bit actually! That's why they're on there to act as a guide. You will see it on the photo I sent you. It will make sense🙂 Just make sure to put dry lubricant on machine every so often👍
1:55 if i cut off my legs then why would i need a leg press😂😂😂
I'm not thrilled by your track system but it's still a decent design. *On the other hand, high reps or doing just 1 leg.*
I'm going to build something similar but more compact. Everyone goes so damn big with them.
Would love to see what you come up with! Send me a photo if you like after completion👍 @mattnunan
Awesome! What type of metal are the pipes ??
They are galvanised. The pipe I got was pre-painted black, but it doesn't need to be.
hello...great job, but i dont understand how you fix the pipe?
Hi Mario, thank you for watching! If you have instagram or an email, I can send you a photo?
Muito obrigado por ensinar. Vou fazer o meu obrigado
Gracias!
I got a question the 30mm and 40mm would that be like 1in and 1 1/2 for the sqaure metal pipes so if I took like a 1in and ran a 1 & 1/2in over it would that work
Yes, definitely!
How do you have the weight poll affixed to the tubular steel so that is can still slide.
Will send you a photo!😊
Sir scque or wood ka thikness botau
Hi Matt can you please explain how the leg press will work if there is a bolt securing the 7 foot pipe to both pieces of metal
Hi Marmo😊 Sure! Are you able to send me your email address please? Or if you have instagram a DM @mattnunan
@@MattLees-Nunan Yes .. alphamarkie
Great job. One question how do you attach the pipe to hold the weights to sliding sleeve? On video looks like you drill a hole to hold pipe but how does it slide up and down? Ty
Will send you an email!😊
I have the same question, can you send it to to as well please. Thanks
Hi Steve, do you have instagram or an email address for which I could send you a photo?
Hi! Do you have instagram or an email address so I can send you the photo?😊
Sorry, one more question. If you put your foot very high on the top edge of the foot plate, does it still go up smoothly or does it pinch on the bottom square tube and get stuck? Thanks again.
No need to apologise! I love the questions🙂 If you put the extra bit of 2×4 in place then no it won't. Once again that photo I sent you will hopefully clarify things a bit👊
Thanks for all your replies, Matt. I appreciate them. Have a safe & blissful Thanksgiving. Best wishes to you and the family, peace.
@@gio144 Thank you so much, and I wish the same to you my friend😍
Hi was wondering how you attached the bar to still make it move freely
Hi! Great question, could you please send me your email and I can forward you the photo😊
th-cam.com/video/GIzlKQppPfo/w-d-xo.html
If you don’t mind me asking how much did this cost you looking to do this also thank you !
Awesome! It costs around about $180 Australian to make😊
cool, and how did you fixed the round iron into the square iron?
I will send you a picture! What's your email bro?
Dou you maybe have a Link for The Pictures?
you didnt mention what is the sizes off the wood pines that you cutting
Hi😊 I believe all materials will be in the description. Let me know if that helps😊
Excellent, I have been looking for ideas like this since all of the gyms in my state currently have a bad case of the mask.
Yeah, it's very frustrating! Let me know if you decide to have a go, would love to hear how you find the videos😊
th-cam.com/video/GIzlKQppPfo/w-d-xo.html
love the design and everything bro, just wondering bow you attached the 2.4m bar to the rhs sliders? btw wanting to make one.
Thank you for contacting me on instagram! Look forward to seeing the end product😍

Whats is the measurements of this leg press machine because its looks amazing bro..?
Thank you brother! The measurements and materials are in the description, and the photo at the start of the video also contains measurements😊
@@MattLees-Nunan ohh thats great bro..
Love and respect from Karachi Pakistan
I like that you are creative in DIY. Do you think it is possible for me to make a DIY adductor and abductor at home. My wife wants me to make here some since I was able to make this leg press for her with he help of your knowledge and videos.
That's so good that you made her a leg press machine!! Does she use it and love it?😁
Adductor/Abductor....Well if you can build a leg press my friend, then I believe you have the ability to make this. Just see yourself as being a creator, make a plan and go for it✊
How much weight can you lift with this leg press? Thanks!
I've had 280kg on this🙌
Matt great channel great information I am going to build your leg press machine but I do have A question how did you connect the bar which holds the weights to the larger diameter square that slides up and down did you weld a piece in place or did you use a mechanical connection thank you
No worries! What is your email and I can send you a photo😊
Cómo atoró el tubo al cuadrado que baja y sube???
Disculpeme pero no entiendo la pregunta😬 en englis por favor?
Nice job👍
Thank you😊
How did you connect your pipe onto your sliding metal?
Hi Tamara!
So the 40mm bit of metal which slides over the 30mm bit of metal has 2 x 6mm x 65mm bolts attatching it to one side. Let me know if this helps🙂
Could you please email me the picture of the cylinder bar attached to the sliding bar tamarachumbley78@gmail.com
How much weight have you slapped onto this?
The photo shows 100kg but I've had 280kg on there. See photo on my instagram page @mattnunan👍
I was wondering how you attach the bar to the rhs sliders.
No worries brother! What's your email and I'll send a photo😉
@@MattLees-Nunan lrroehrborn@gmail.com
All done! Let me know if you need anymore help😊
Can you send this to me too?
How much weight could this hold if you had to guess?
I had 160kg on there the other day with no problem at all🙂
I suppose 200kg
Furniture Wax or silicon oil, nooooooo to wd40. Awesome build.
Haha silicone spray is probably better!!
Good day . how did you connect the rod to the leg press in the video it's not good to see thank you
Hi! What is your email address? I can send you a photo😊
picasso927@azet.sk email address thank you 🙏💪🏼
What is the height of the machine?
1070mm
I am not understanding how you are fastening the bar to the outer short square tubing.
Sure! What's your email and I can send you a photo of the attachment😊
clark_rg_2@yahoo.com and thank you so much!
Done!😊
How is the bar that holds the weights anchored to the sleeves that glide along the parallel bars?
Great question! Held on by 6mm x 100mm bolts. If you install the bolts through the bar and to one side of the 400mm x 40mm steel, this acts as a guide for the rail👍
Can you show a picture of it please
Hi Laura, I've taken a photo but it won't let me upload it via this method. Is there another way I could send it through to you?
@@MattLees-Nunan you can send it to my email at triplemoon69@gmail.com :_) thank you
@@MattLees-Nunan Could you also send me a pic please to dwparsons78@gmail.com. Thats the only part of the build I'm not understanding. thanks! Dale
Hello am interested please tell me the dimensions!!!!
Hi! So the dimensions should be at the start of the movie and are in millimetres. Hope this helps!😊
How about a list of materials.
Thank you for mentioning! I have just put up the list of materials in the description. Let me know if this helps👍
Amigo desculpa mas eu n consegui compreender o tamanho da altura seria 130m
Hola, es posible a preguntarme en Inglis or Español por favor?
@@MattLees-Nunan
Me confundí ya que la medida de altura sería 1.30?
@@user-xf2nt7ft1k la altura sería 1.020m mas or menos hermano
Great video. Music - why?
Thank you! Why music?...Because music is a beautiful thing.
Wow! this is a beautifully elegant design and very close to what I want to build. Thanks so much for posting. I too am having trouble visualizing the cross bar connection to the sliders. Could you send a photo to Bosam53@sbcglobal.net? Also in the video at 5:14 there appears to be another bolt through the crossbar outside of the rail. Can you explain?
Thanks so much,
Sam
Hi! Thanks so much for the feedback. Greatly appreciated🙏 I will send through the photo now we should explain everything to you. Let me know if it makes sense👍 Matt
@@MattLees-Nunan hi matt could you please send me the photo as well ash123nk@gmail.com
