Ms Deville's New Indoor/Outdoor Platform

[MsDeville]

When I got my new ball hook swivel last month, "trainer" Raul decided to try building an all-wood, free-standing speed bag platform for me.

We picked up everything at the local Lowe's home building supply store. Since he's a builder, he was able to whip this thing out in an afternoon. The next day, while I was at work, he painted it, and even managed to design a big ol' Everlast logo on it!

Since I was new at the ball hook swivel, I didn't do very well on it, so he replaced it with the U-bolt swivel. I had to adjust to it as well... the wood surface is different from my steel platform... but I'm almost up to speed on it now.

Anyway, I thought I would share this with you guys. We have a little over $150 in it – not too bad. And, the cool thing about it, is that it can be easily dismantled – Raul used screws – and can be set up inside a home or apartment! It stands about 86 inches tall (2.26 meters). It's pretty solid, with little or no vibration. And, because it's freestanding, it won't shake the walls of the house!

You could put it in the back of a pick-up truck and enter yourself as a float in a parade...

Don't give hubby any ideas, okay?!!!

That's one cool platform Dee! I really do like it, now you've got me thinking about knocking one up......one day!

You know, in the back of a white pick-up, it would have sort of a popemobile look to it. What was your husband's cell number, again?

Oh, that is so sweet!

Very nice Mrs D!!

Hey Miss "D", That is one Awesome, freestanding Baggin' platform you've got there!
Now you'll have no excuses for not bagging. You've got your indoor platform(s) when
the elements don't permit outside bagging, and you've got your outdoor (portable) platform when it's nice outside. If you've got a truck, you could take it on vacation with you!
Really cool, nice job to Raul!

Are you guys looking to adopt?

Thats Great! I think I might have to copy that one.

So somebody was tired of the noise, huh?

That's how you know you are getting good. When the house is starting to vibrate to pieces, it's time to go freestanding!

Looks like a great design, looks sharp, especially the Everlast logo!

I was in a cub scout parade back in Dec 09. I had thought about that the whole time... specifically with Skunk's mobile platform (on the back of the deuce). Hmmm. maybe next year.

What a NEAT setup, you should be proud. Plus, I love that "E" you painted. Everlast should sponsor you.

That's IT!!

The Bagmobile. You could hit to a custom made song.

"I've got my bag in a box..."

It's a gift.
