Ive been on this forum almost a month I think and mentioned I was going to build my own speed bag platform. I found some old wood laying around. It is actually two big pieces and two little pieces on the outside glued together. I sanded it down and stained it and put some poly on it.
I installed it on my homemade pull up bar which I was worried about the platform being to heavy but it isn't to bad. If worse comes to worse I can put some sandbags on the other side of it. I actually widened one of the legs on it so my center support wouldn't be so narrow. Then I widened the top with some boards so my counter leavers would be flush. I used two 1/2 inch bolts to mount it to my leg and regular lags for my counters. I had a buddy help me install it, this thing was defintly a two person job.
I put my bag at a height I thought would be comfortable.(I think my mouth and it could probally go higher but its good on my shoulders for now I guess. Maybe Ill get some video oneday on here.
So far it seems pretty solid.
