- This DIY weight storage rack took me about 4-5 hours to make spread out over a weekend. In this video I'll show you how to make DIY gym equipment at home. Having a rack for my dumbbell set keeps my home gym organized. Cost of lumber was about $100. It's not very complicated, it just takes time to do everything right.

What should my next project be? Let me know!
I am building this dumbbell rack. Bought all the materials, cut out all the pieces! Just have to put it together and paint it. Thanks Kyle!!! You ROCK!!!
Dude, that’s awesome! Let me know how it turns out!
I am going to build one of these this weekend! Thanks for the great tutorial!
That’s great. Post your build on Instagram and tag me, I’d love to see how it turns out!
Very cool!! Thanks for sharing this! Love the videos… keep ‘em coming
Much appreciated!
Great looking piece of furniture! Love the very last scene 😂! TRIUMPH!
Haha, thanks man! Finishing this project felt like a huge victory
Hey man I built a modified version of this with a bottom shelf for plates. Came together really nicely. Thanks for the tutorial :)
That’s awesome. If you’re on any social media I’d like to see it
Coming from the reddit post 👍🏻 thanks mate I’ll build this in a few weekends. Thanks for the video

That is awesome to hear! You’re welcome! I’d love to see what you make.
Great work. I’ll be doing a modified version of this for my PowerBlock Pro exp90s, and whatever other stuff I can throw on the bottom shelf.
That is awesome to hear! When you’re done, let me know. I’d love to see how it turns out!
I am am going be building this soon! Thank you!
Sweet! I can’t wait to see it!
Sharp! Good job!
Hey, I really appreciate it. It’s still holding up like a champ
Love this.. never done anything like this but i'll be giving this ago along with a olmypic plate holder on caster wheels.. love the name too, Kaizen (Continuous Improvement in Japanese)
Hey thanks! It is fitting because I am constantly evolving and working to improve. Also, my family is Japanese so it has added meaning. I am glad you like the builds. If you have any questions along the way, feel free to hit me up.
This is so amazing.. I'm don't have much of a DIY brain but I think I'm going to try this out!
That’s awesome, I hope you make one. It’s really not a difficult project. Just take your time to do things right. Good luck!
ive been looking for a rack and i actually had wood in the garage, didnt even think about making one. Thx bro!
Awesome, I’ve made three so far and they get easier every time! Let me know if you have any questions during your build.
I really like this build. I will likely copy it and even the stain too! I have a few spare hooks I'll put on the side for cable attachments. Also thought about having a barbell holder for it too so I don't have to keep it on my rack.
Great! If you’re anywhere on social media, find my profile and send me a pic when you’re done. I’d love to see it.
@@KaizenDIYGym we’ve been messaging on IG silly. I’ll hit you up when it’s done though.
You always knock out some really great gear Brother👍👏👏👏👌
I appreciate it man! I am constantly inspired by your work and the rest of our community!
@@KaizenDIYGym Same here, so many people finding a way to come up with new ideas and so many different levels of skill and ability. Even people with limited DIY skills find a way👌
Nice work sir.
Thanks man! It’s built like a tank!
Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yep, I'm making one.
That’s awesome!
The glow forge looks awesome. How hard is it to learn the software for that? I’ve never used anything like that and have been looking into machines that cut and do all that stuff.
The Glowforge interface is very user friendly. I've had my machine for 4 years now and it's still going strong. I love it. It can cut some woods that are up to 1/2" thick, it can engrave wood that is up top about 1.5". Pretty versatile. If you do buy one, use my referral code and you'll get up to $500 off depending on the model you buy. Referral code: glowforge.com/?kid=YZPNDIUF
Perfect ! I’m gonna do one for my boyfriend
Awesome, good luck!
Tal vez podrías en un futuro hacer otro estante para mancuernas no tengo mucho espacio en casa así que pensaba en algo circular y que gire ya que uso cilla y no alcanzo muy alto entonces pensaba en eso pero no tengo una idea y por eso empecé a buscar pero asta ahora tu video es el que entiendo más aún que no es en español gracias y si en un futuro lo llegas a fabricar déjame saber para tenerlo yo también gracias y cuídate .
That's awesome dude! Great work, Can you build a GHD?
I have it on my to do list. Over the course of the next year I’ll be building an entire DIY gym. I’ll probably do the GHD in February or March.
Hello, when you cut the 70 degree angle on the 13.5 pieces, how did you know how much to cut off? I saw in the video you were mainly doing just the edges.
Thank you for the clarification!
With the angled parts, the measurement refers to the longest side.
Great video, i will try make something like u did to put on my gym. Let me ask onething... what`s wood thickness do you used?
I used 2x4s mostly, the materials are in the description of the video. The shelves are 1” thick
how to cut the 13.5 inch pieces using a hand saw? I am not sure how long the pieces need to be before cutting the end at an angle
The measurements I give are for the length of the longest side. If you’re cutting with a hand saw you can mark your angle and cut along the line. It won’t be perfect but it is possible
how do u come up with these ideas thank you ill give it a try on my days off. if you have any ideas to make it water proof let me know because it will be outside mostly and i dont want it to rote or mold up
Use pressure treated wood or cedar
I'm going to build this when I have some free time. Just wondering the height and how deep the dementions are If I follow what you did?
I don't remember the dimensions off the top of my head but everything is listed in the video. I would love to see yours when it is done.
@@KaizenDIYGym thanks will do. I have to make mine no more than 15in deep with the space I want it to be in. Little worried if the 1x8 will be too much.
Fácil para los que tienen todos los instrumentos
Nice rack...just one question. Are you happy with the choice of 20 degrees for the dumbbells to rest on the shelves or would you suggest cutting it back to 15 degrees to prevent the dumbbells from tipping forward?
I’m pretty happy with the angle. No tipping issues at all.
@@KaizenDIYGym 👍
What would you suggest if people had conventional dumbbells and not hex dumbbells?
You’d need something to keep the dumbbells from rolling around. The easiest fix could be strips of 1x1 as spacers between dumbbells
What is the difference between a power rack and a power cage?
The terms are used interchangeably. Power cage is more old school. Typically if you’re shopping on a website, the term power rack is what you would use to search.
Hi, i am really inspired by your video and tutorial. i recently noticed my dumbbell rack is collapsing anytime. i guess it cannot hold the weights anymore. i just wondering how much weight can the above dumbbel rack hold? i have dumbbells up to 110lbs, can this rack hold?
Yes, it will hold. You’ll need to modify the dimensions so it can fit more dumbbells.
@@KaizenDIYGym Thank you for your speedy reply, i will take note of that...
Real question, how did you do 70° angles on your miter saw?
So the natural angle of the mitre saw is 90°, you can angle the blade 20° in either direction to accomplish the 70° angle.
Thanks for asking this!! I was baffled as well😂
How much did everything cost give or take?
Lumber prices have gone down a little bit since I made this, but all together it was around $115
Am I wrong but aren’t you cutting it at 20 degrees not 70? I’m not a wood worker. But cut mine to 70 n looked way different. Went back n cut to 20 n looks right. Am I wrong?
Great question. I made this video over two years ago. I honestly do not remember the dimensions I recommended but you should do whatever works best for you!
Lo puedes traducir buscar que alguien haga el audio en español?
Lo siento, por ahora solo puedo traducir los subtítulos en español
hey man, just wondering what type of wood you used?
It’s all pine but you can use whatever is available
thank you very much@@KaizenDIYGym
whats the main difference between V2 and V3?
Width. V2 is so wide I had to add additional support in the center. V3 is made specifically for a 5-50 set, V2 can hold more than that.
@@KaizenDIYGym thank you. I planning to use your V2 template and make the bench about 8ft wide, do you think it will work fine? I am hoping to be able to fit all dumbells up to 100 lb on it
What's the weight limit? Be nice to see it loaded.
I made it specifically for a 10-50 set because I don’t have heavier dumbbells. With a little reinforcement it could handle 55-100s
O algún video en español!
Ojalá hablara español con fluidez para poder hacerlo
Gracias por contestar .
