I used surplus weights for a weight machine, available lots of places.

9 weights plus bracket and 3/4" black pipe adds 151 lbs

jerry, that is an excellent setup. couple of questions if you dont mind. where did you get the weights and did you have to drill holes for the pipe? that is so nice, you could sell something like that. thanks for sharing. al

Got the weights from a brother, but you can get them just about anyplace that sells that type of excersize equipment.
About selling it.........?? Not if you saw my "welding" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
I used a Unibit in a drill press to drill the holes. Drills from ¼" to 1½". I used 3/8" plate. Just go slow and have patience or you'll burn it up.
