Here is my idea of a dream platform:-ceiling mounted-360 degree accessible-height adjustable-36" diameter board-2" thick solid wood boardDesigned this myself...
very nice !! I like the pulley system !!
but with the four upright supports.... don't they cause a little vibration since the pipe that fits inside of them is not completely tight ...you know what I mean ? or does it still hold pretty steady ?
dang. thats a nasty platform. i BS u not i was thinkin of using a table like that at one time but was never able to get mine to stay on the ceiling. this is sipmly a master of art in platforms. Great set up. now start hittin the combos up!
Thanks, guys! So far the pipes have not been a problem; there are springs in each pipe which push down on the platform, but I think the weight of the whole thing keeps it very steady. I haven't heard any banging pipes.
I still need to work with the pulley system - it takes all of my weight to pull the thing down, which is good for sturdiness bit it is a bit difficult to make adjustments by myself
Once I get it tweaked the combos will start flying.
In that video I'm wearing mountain biking gloves. I have to wear gloves to pull on the cable so I already had them on when I took that video...
You'll have to lengthen the cable to do this, but you could set up a block and tackle system in your cables to relieve some of the weight for adjusting it. Just making one loop will cut the weight in half. Of course more pulleys make it even lighter. You could conceivably make it so you could make the changes with one hand.
make it fancier....go to Harbor FReight and pick up a cheap electric winch....
then with a push of a button you can have the platform at any height you like
This will be a crazy set up. after its all done i think im goin with billy on this one and id hook it up electronicaly. but thats just me. One more very cool idea but would be hard, is it when it went from up to down it spiraled like rotated up and down. be like a midevil speed bag platform.
i think you should replace the 4 steel posts with hydrolic arms, and make the platform pump up and down when your hitting it, would require so much skill to hit!
