You show me yours and I'll show you mine...
I have been refining the Assisted lift rig at the Bunker for the past few months.
I went through a stack of research hunting for a bit of commercial gym kit I could re-purpose, but it was either phenomenally too expensive or just not suitable or both, to go down that route.
So, with a budget calculated in Pence, I began to play...
And got,
Here.
The weight truck is an old Dumbell bar, drilled and through bolted with an Eyebolt. This is in turn bolted to two old jocky wheel brackets (they are back to back and minus the wheels).
The vertical track consists of an old Argos 6' studio bar and some pared down was timber, mounted to a heavy (4"x4" block on an 8"x8"x2" pad) wooden base.
The whole being set on a 3"x2" timber frame (3pcs @ £2.78 ea (B&Q)).
The most expensive bits being the blocks (Harken, Chandlers ~£15 ea).
Old bit of 9mm rope used.
Mallions £3 for 10 @ tool station, make adjusting positions easy, whilst allowing a better force distribution.
Works a treat.
