    Wieght Bench

    Hey, wasup gys.
    I'm wondering on the easiest way to make a weight bench like this:
    http://files.turbosquid.com/Preview/...6.jpgLarge.jpg
    sturdier, so it doesnt wobble back and forth?
    Is adding wider and longer bases to the weight rest gonna make a difference?
    Or, If I add onto the frame of the bench like this right here?


    Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

    Add the support to the back and weld a couple supports to put a curl bar then weld a heavy diamond aluminum plate under the front side of the bench.

    Hey manic, ALBOB is having some problem with his masturbation. Do you think you can draw the solution perhaps?

    Where will you find a diamond tread plate, try an automotive scrap yard look for trucks some might have them in the bed still yet.

    A masonry drill bit and anchor bolts will work.

    thanks so is mino... maybe. i don't use enough weight to wobble my bench. but yea masonry stuff is cool. you can also use that technique to anchor shackles to the walls in a dungeon.
