I built this one for eBay just to see what happens, lots and lots and lots of hours to create one of these. I build it from the ground up starting with the stand using 2X3 steel make my cuts so it fits a standard 16” stud all mig welded and grinded to perfection. The platform itself is what takes the most time, starts off as a sheet of homedepot 3/4 thick MDF, I cut out 3 25” wide circles then glue them,stack them and screw them all together. After all that about a total of about 8 coats of primer, paint and the final epoxy coatings a total of 4 coats of epoxy resin. What you all think am I crazy?
Built a 2nd worlds most beautiful speed bag platform/stand

I will never use anything else just put it that way. Message rdshackleford to get an Arc swivel. At first you may not like it as much because it takes more accuracy but once you get used to it you will love it. My speedbagging skills have progressed so much faster once I switched to the ball hook swivel.Last edited by morphiusrt; 05-23-2019, 03:24 AM.

Here's a little about the "U" bolt swivels, and why I don't recommend them for Bible Style Bagging.

Mikey_woo, are those three flat head socket cap screws holding the drum to the square tubes? And how do they anchor, I don't see thru holes on the top?
Alan, I think four 1" #10 screws are sufficient to hold any bag/power if the threads are tight enough and the wood is dense enough. But if there is the least bit of wiggle room in the threads, or the wood is too soft, it tends to get worse and worse. Just un-mounting and re-mounting swivels over and over tend to loosen the thread enough where they end up rattling out over time. My #10 screws into the epoxy resin on my new drum are super-tight and will probably last a long long time if I am careful when changing out the swivels. Like we said in another thread, if your 1/4" bolts get too loose, you can always drill it bigger and use metal thread inserts.@ArcSwivel
