Hi everyone, it has been a long time --and a few major life events-- since I've been on the forum. It's nice to see everyone hitting so well!!
I have no speedbag in my life right now, nor have I had one for a long time. You all can probably imagine how hard that is! I'm trying to think of ways to build/buy a free-standing platform for my apartment-- can't drive nails/screws into walls, ceiling, or floor. Everything I see on the "Platforms" forum is affixed to a wall or ceiling.
I've tried the typical metal frame model (Everlast?), with one arm for a heavy and the other for a speedbag, but it wasn't stable enough even with a weight on top. I remember Tim's giant "cage" and think it's a great idea, but it may be beyond my skill level to build one. ~not sure. Does anyone have any thoughts or suggestions that would work... for a constructionally-challenged-but-willing-to-try-anything, speedbag lover like me?
By the way, for anyone who knows him, I visited Jerry Neuman at his community gym in a couple days ago. Nice fellow! --and smooth on the bag.
