    Boxing gym

    So finally got one of my speedbag platforms up in a boxing gym locally to me , it's been up a few weeks now, I popped down Saturday morning to see how it's been received ..ex professional boxer Glyn Rhodes MBE from Sheffield, uk said "it's been used by all levels of boxers including me , that thing is solid it's going nowhere" can't keep the guys off it , he's fitted his own swivel and cleto reyes speedbag
    now to try and get more made and get them in other boxing gyms

        It’s very kind of you to make speed bag platforms for boxing gyms. I visited some boxing gym that didn’t have one. I could hardly believe my eyes!

          Very cool, mark. Congrats. It seems Sheffield is a hotbed for boxing and boxing gyms. You would think Philadelphia would be too, but its not, not any more.

            It occurs to me if you really wanted to make swivels like that faster, you could recess the swivel into the drum, either part way or the whole way. As long as the u-bolt pin remains at or below the drum, it would make it faster.

                      That’s an awesome setup, very sturdy.Its nice when a plan comes together.You must be very proud that one of your platforms is being used in a professional boxing gym.

                        Over the moon, makes all the time and effort all worthwhile , on the back of that I've got another boxing coach wanting one for his gym too

                          I am sure as others use the platform word will spread.Very cool that another gym would like your platform.Is Speed king the name of the platform? I do not see much branding (which I like) but it would be good if other baggers could find out where to get one for there home.

                            Yeah Speedking is my branding I've named this platform the 'speedking tw1' as in triangle wood 1
                            ive got an Instagram account ( speedkingboxing ) that's been up a few months, yet to create a website as was concentrating on getting a few up in the gyms to get some promotion pics and videos so I can then launch the website with those on showing how solid it is, due to working my normal job it's hard to find spare time to dedicate to this , although my dream is to be able to producing these full time and also sell my own branded boxing/fitness accessories

                              I'll look into how much it is to ship the frame to the US , as I'm in the UK then who ever buys one can have a drum made up to their own spec maybe
