Good job. I suggest before weld plates, present bar on the wall with two 45 grades cut. Because some walls have irregularities which can be prevent just filing the extremes.
What a great idea. I guess the best fit would be to preset the plates and weld in place ... but this old house wouldn't survive a welding job! Great idea though
@@metaspencer Or one could use threaded pipe and angled base plates. The problem with corner mounting is you want a lot of space doing pullups. To get that space your bar needs to be VERY long. Like more than 8' usually. What people can do is opt for a larger pipe (stronger) then hang gymnastic rings from it. What we really need is a long, height adjustable, corner pullup bar!
Suggestion, clamp the pipe in the vise angled down the the floor. You can then drill the holes through the bottom of the plate (no drill press this way). As always, nice.
@@metaspencer , its my brick wall , im making a pullup bar its made from metals , will it support ? And i have a 10mm bolt to hold a pullup bar for drilling
You never mentioned the what length lag bolts you used. With four holes on the plate how do you screw into a stud with all four if they're 16" apart? You might hit a stud with two screws lined up vertically but what about the other two on the opposite end of the plate? The plate does not look 16+" wide. What am I missing?
My house has long 2x8s in that corner, so it's all solid framing behind the drywall. In a traditionally framed house you'd want to identify your studs ahead of time and design the bar to match up with your wall framing. Yeah, two vertical holes for your 4" lab bolts would be great
Thanks for checking it out! My buddy Steve gave me a quick welding lesson, but other than that it's just been through trial-and-error, watching videos, and things like that. I'm still a real rookie, but it's getting better. :)
Sounds like great therapy. I've read of people hanging for 7 minutes a day (in total) and it seems to help all kinds of things. Anyway, thanks for checking out the video!
My point was that it is dangerous to build it the way you show in the video. What happens if it gives way and rotates during a pull-up? Injury to wrists, forearms, elbows etc. It is not just an option to pin it into place - it is essential.
@@rosscormack8548 Just watch the video again and you'll see that the bar is welded in place and cannot spin. 4:44 shows this, for instance. You're certainly entitled to your opinion about rotating bars, but some people find them to be good tools for building arm strength

If you're doing the wood version you'll need to drill holes somewhere in the ends of the pipe to prevent the pipe from free spinning.
Yeah, good point. And if it spins a mixed grip will hold it ... happy pullups!
You always seem to come up with something interesting
That's always my hope! Thanks for checking it out :)
Wow I need something like this but can’t find one made already online😆. If you ever start selling these corner pull up bars, I’d like 1🙌🏾🙌🏾
Yeah it’s great to use a corner!
Good work
Thanks!
nice concept.
Yeah, I really dig it
Welding on a pipe is strong enough? and how much weight it can survive
Oh yeah! Very strong
You never disappoint
Thanks!
Thoughts on making a corner PU Bar using black Pipe and a 45 elbow on each end?
The simplest way I've done it with black pipe is just to create sockets for the pipe into 2x4s or 2x6s, then bolt the wood to the wall.

Really nice...

This is so helpful..thanks

Right! Good idea. Next time ... take care, man
I have two wall 6 feet distance... should I screw the bar from both side or make a hole in walls and fit the bar??? ..
Making holes for the bar would only work if the walls are solid wood or concrete ... lag bolts will give you some anchor points and stability
You are doing on pillar , can i do it on a wall its 4 inch wall , can it support ? How much inch needed to support on wall ?
You just need solid wood supports in your wall. 4 inches sounds strong
@@metaspencer , its my brick wall , im making a pullup bar its made from metals , will it support ? And i have a 10mm bolt to hold a pullup bar for drilling
Hi, can you give the dimensions of the pipe in millimeters?
My fat pipe is 76mm ... most people like it thinner but I prefer the thick pipe to develop grip strength
Nice idea!👍🏻
Thanks!
Ain't much but it's Honest work !
What is size of pipe?
I used fat stuff to build grip, but 1.5" or 2" is normal
I just got a 4k 50" TV I'm trying to wall mount up very high, will you help me?
Ooo, that sounds like a good one! I'd be happy to help ... I've hung a few and have the hang of it

Wonderful.
which screw do you use?
Strong bolts
Lag bolts
Excelente trabalho parabéns ✌️😎✌️
obrigado amigo!
Once again, amazing work. How did you learn to weld?

@@metaspencer Thanks for the inspiration and I enjoy all the updates on your "Prison Bus" too. :)
Thank you, from Pakistan.
You are welcome
What are the dimensions of the pipe?
I used a fat pipe on this one for strength and to build grip, but you can use a thinner one. My pipe is 3" diameter
Good luck best.
Thanks!
Good,
100/100 good me Pondicherry India
thanks for checking out the project!
I remember pull ups 🙂 new goal lol
Do it!
My mom had a pipe to hang from. The dr. Prescribed it for a pinched nerve in her back
Sounds like great therapy. I've read of people hanging for 7 minutes a day (in total) and it seems to help all kinds of things. Anyway, thanks for checking out the video!
With wood support, the pipe will end up spinning in the hole
just drill a hole in the pipe at the end and sink a nail or screw into it.

Don't try this, if you don't know the Pythagoras theorem ❤️
I have two walls 10' apart I could mount a bar, too long right?
That's pretty long so you'd need a way to stiffen the bar ... thin steel sags quite a bit over a 10' span
Can you mount it on the wall? Or in a corner?
no corner big enough just a recess with walls left and right 10’ apart.
@@grhodes3536 maybe just build one on one of the walls ... or hang rings?
