      Hello there, I have built this following your video but I'm stuck as I do not know if I should buy a pipe with threaded endings as the pipe flanges are threaded, or should I sand down the inner thread on the flanges?

  • @toolate912

    I built this yesterday. Used pressure treated so it could last outdoors and skipped the painting. I used 1 inch black pipe and a 1 3/8 spade bit to go through the wood then attached the flanges from the outside using 1/4 lag screws. The flanges do not reverse (face inward) so I had to make a countersink in the wood to accept a small raised area around the flange threads. I didn't have a larger spade bit so I used a palm router to make the lip. turned out great. I am going to add a short cross piece to each side of the "A" for easier transport and small cleats inside so my kids can step up to reach the bar. Great ,quick project, about $75 total and done in less than 90 minutes (with kids as helpers).

    Nice job, I've been thinking about building one of these. From my experience building swings and tree houses for my kids, I would also consider using some galvanized carriage bolds (maybe 5/16) to hold the main structure together (stronger than deck screws).

  • @Xentrick

    Awesome simple and effective design. Looks like you made sure it was really strong. A little tip to make the pull-up attachment even stronger. Those flanges will receive a lot of stress and torque, I've seen them worm their way out of the supports. So, drill through the support rails and attach the flanges on the outside with the stem inside the wood hole.

      I like the holes you drilled to hold the pipe, rather than floor flanges for it. You saved about $14 by using glue and screws to hold the bar securely.

  • @yishujia186
    @yishujia186 5 ปีที่แล้ว +200

    I think the the way you install the steel bar is not sturdy enough. Just 4 small screws go into the wood on each side? This is not going to last long. I recommend drilling two big holes on the wood and let the steel bar go all the way through them. Then, install two flanges on the outside to lock the bar in place.

    • @johncruz7923

    Very nice. Though the bar placement seemed the weakest part by far on this build. I would have added little over 3" to the bar length and run it through the top of the A frame pieces and had it lock into the flanges on the outside. Far great weight capacity, not relying on screws. Subbed.

    Great video. Great build.
    Insha Allah I'm going to use this pattern to make mine only difference is I'm going to make my higher so I don't have to bend my legs when I do pullups. I like to dangle when I do pullups, I like for the bar to be so high that I have to jump to grab it. I can focus more on my pull and not on having my legs bent and thats what doing pullups is all about.
    Great vid tho.

    • @GenePavlovsky
      @GenePavlovsky 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Being tall, I have to bend my legs at almost all street pull-up bars. It's such a good feeling to find a really high one and focus 100% on the pullups, like you said!
      That said, if you have to jump to grab the bar, it won't be so easy to pick it up and move it (like in the video). Not an issue if you have a permanent place where it is going to stand.

      @GenePavlovsky 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think you can do it, just do the exercise with the straps angle going not too far away from vertical (pulling the bar straight down or at a shallow angle). The more you go sideways, the more likely the bar will start tilting or even fall over. It would help to weigh down the bottom of the frame with something, e.g. sandbags. Ideally, anchor the frame to the ground if you have the possibility.

    Hi, I just made this and it is able to hold my weight (70kg/154.324 pounds). The only problem is that the frame itself move side to side a little bit. Anyone knows hoy to stabilize it?

      viewer10e8w a circular saw and a drill are the most basic of power tools that anyone who DIYs should be expected to own

      You can do this without the saw. The cuts at the top are just to be fancy and the bottom cuts aren’t needed if you use angle brackets to attach the middle spacers (especially if you are going to use this on grass). Home Depot will generally cut the wood for you if it is basic cuts for length. This makes the supply list: 4 8 foot boards, 2 8 foot boards cut half (so 4 4 foot boards), angle brackets, the bar with flanges, and a bunch of wood screws.

      Tom Forge Fair enough, although for a small project like this a hand saw should be more than enough because where I am HD has stopped offering cutting services due to COVID

      You can manage with a swiss army knife, probably - it will just take longer.
      Seriously, if you DIY, you obviously have to get some tools and skills. There's absolutely no need for expensive equipment. A vintage brace&bits from a garage sale or eBay can handle drilling and screwdriving. It's not as slow as it sounds, if the bits are sharp (anyway, it's useful to learn to sharpen knives and tools). A hand saw can do all the cuts, once again it has to be sharp, don't expect to have a good time with an old rusty dull saw.
      Of course you need materials to make anything, isn't that kinda obvious?
      It's true that if you consider the cost of materials and your time, sometimes it's cheaper to buy a ready-made product that comes from a country with cheap labor. But when you make it yourself, you can customize it the way you want, and if something breaks, you already know how to fix it.

      It's actually cheaper to just buy a metal one.
      4 2x6 = $32
      1 4 foot 3/4 steel pipe = $30
      8 2x4 = $27
      2 3/4 pipe flange = $12
      1 box 2-1/2 inch screws = $7
      1 1 gallon Blue Edge Exterior Paint = $51
      That is $159 assuming you already have something to cut wood, power drill, and a paint roller excluding tax
      Metal pull up bar stands are generally cheaper ($70 sometimes) and usually have extra handles for many different exercises

    • @GenePavlovsky
      @GenePavlovsky 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      There's one comment here with sample measurements. But better to scale it according to what height you want your bar to be, which depends on your height and arm length.

    • @GenePavlovsky
      @GenePavlovsky 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it wouldn't matter with regards to the wooden frame. The long bar will sag a lot more, though, so up the diameter and/or wall thickness of the bar itself.

    Nice job. I would rather use that rhino liner paint for the bar tho. It would add grip.
