It's a thing of beauty, yes it is

Thanks Dutch

Be sure to visit the AOTB YouTube channel for "Art of the Bag Short Films"...stuff from the cutting room floor.

I came across them a few weeks back and have watched them all. Thanks for the extras

OK, here’s the ‘before’ platform:



And the after.....



This project turned out great. I'm really surprised how much quieter the new drum is. I was expecting a change in sound but it was far more dramatic than I expected and I really didn’t think it would be much quieter. The rebound of the bag is a fair bit faster so it took a bit to get used to that but all good now.

Very nice! I especially like the Mighty Mick's picture. I've been trying to think of how to decorate my speed bag wall. I wonder if they make antique boxing signs wallpaper.

Thanks Rusty. Interesting idea about the wallpaper.

I got the idea from this random google search:

Sweet! THAT is a platform!

That's a nice platform! Have you posted any videos working the bag with it?

Thank you. No I haven't posted any videos, I'm not really a video taking kinda guy. I'll try to get something eventually up but don't hold your breath
