Great job and very informative. A question please, how resistant are the plates against impacts, for example, drop them on the ground with nothing to cushion the impact?
Thanks Gianmarco! Same reply to your other question 👍 I guess it depends on what the material of the ground is made of? Grass, no problemo. A deadlift platform with rubber horse stall mats, no problemo. Concrete or a material the same or close to the same strength as the concrete? Probably not a good idea lol What kind of material are you going to be dropping them on? Also, probably not a good idea to drop 5's, 10's, or 15's made of concrete period, unless you already have some 25's or higher already on the bar. 👍
@@TheIronMason Ah. The rebar and whatnot makes sense, but I can't imagine the plate will retain noticable amounts, if any, of water. I could be wrong though. Im no concrete expert
@privateassman8839 depends on where you are as well. Concrete generally stays cold when not in direct sunlight so moisture in the air condenses on its surface and is absorbed. If it's hot and dry then the plates will be the base ingredient weight but if it's humid then they are going to be a few % heavier
@@HereticDuo Interesting 🤔. I was thinking for extra strength you could fiberglass the plates. That way moisture wouldn't be an issue, and they'd be crack resistant.
Thank you for the info on were to get the grinder
You're very welcome! Thank you for watching!
Nice work. They look great. We’re you using ear protection whilst doing the grinding?
Yes I was! I used some gun-range ear muffs
cool videos man !!!
Glad you like them! Thanks for the comment! I hope they help!

Thanks a lot
You inspire me to do what I love. Thank you for your work and information, much success
you think flexseal would work instead of the raptor coating?
That's actually not a bad idea!
how much weight do you think the bed liner put on the total weight?
No more than a few ounces
so how many coats did you do? how long to dry ? thanks
2 coats and about 24 hours
Let's get rid of all this 😅Give me a name the beat please
I made the beat myself lol
Seems like a lot of work to have to grind them down.
It is lol that's why I don't recommend concrete if you can find any rubber or urethane plates for cheaper 💪
@@TheIronMason Nah. I'm fine with the concrete but I just wouldn't bother grinding them down.
Why not just weigh all the ingredients dry? That way once they're dried, the weight is exactly what you want, and you don't have to grind.
Because the directions said to account for the difference the water, rerod, and fiber glass would add...which turns out to be minimal
