The thing I've missed most about having my gym closed is having access to a set of dumbbells. When I saw some large pieces of 1/2" plate at the scrap yard recently, I had the idea to make my own set. Each dumbbell needed a different diameter of plate cut on the CNC plasma cutting table, to match the target weight. I used 1.25" round bar for the handle, which i welded the plates onto. After all the dumbbells were welded, I hauled them in to get a poly coat at the powder coater's. While they were getting coated, I switched to making a flat bench and a seat bench, which is what I found myself using the most at the gym. I cut the wood backing on the CNC routing table and installed recessed T-nuts. I used 3x2" rectangular tubing for the frame. I bought some black vinyl and sewed seat covers, which got stretched over the wood backing and stapled. The last thing to build on this project is a 2 tier rack to hold all the all the dumbbells. I cut the uprights on the CNC table and welded on angle, which the dumbbells will sit on. I milled saddles out of 1" UHMW and bolted them to the rack. Once the dumbbells came back from powder coat, the last thing to do was make stencils and paint on the weights of all the dumbbells. This was a huge project and I'm excited to start using them!

  • The variation of dumbbells is extremely useful for a small person like me kzhead.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 But the dumbbell size being large it's hard to do certain exercises like deadlift ( I have to have my hands and legs a bit wider to accommodate the size of the DB )Otherwise happy with the purchase. No excuse not to lift weight when it's snowing outside.

You might, and I mean might, be correct on comfort as the grips have no knurling or curves to aid grip, but as far as safety goes, these are far safer than the majority of commercial dumb bells. Just inspect the welds on any out there (you might have to cut rubber away) and you'll see that Rainfall Projects is clean while that commercial one has crap welds.

  • I'd highly recommend adding some diagonal bracing on the dumbbell stand. There's some clear side to side movement at around 22:04, and that's with the rack not fully loaded yet, and just a light force hitting it in the most optimal direction. I fear that if you accidentally walk into it from the side with some force, it'll just bend the legs or snap the welds and come crashing down. It's not that I don't trust your welding skills, it's just a lot of weight, which can exert a lot of force. Front to back it's absolutely fine, side to side is a bit iffy. Other than that: A seriously impressive build. I first thought you were joking when you said the weights were getting powdercoated, but I get why you did it. The end result is amazing.

    • I agree completely. As much as he typically over-builds things (and I mean that in the most complimentary way), I thought that the rack, especially given the amount of weight it would be holding, looked flimsy.

      @rihamy2nd@rihamy2nd3 жыл бұрын

    • I had the same concerns, and was ready to add cross bracing when I was building it. In that shot when it's moving, there were only 2 legs on the ground because the angle came with a slight radius to it. With the weights on the rack and all five feet on the ground, i couldn't budge it. But I totally agree, I had the same "folding" concerns initially when I started.
