#DIY #woodworking #lockdown

Learn how to build a simple diy pull up bar/chin up bar perfect for a garage out of 2x4 lumber using only 1 saw and 1 drill! FREE downloadable cut list is available for this pull-up / chin-up bar that we installed in our garage.

It’s been about a week into the Covid-19/Coronavirus lockdown and we are going absolutely crazy not being able to get into the gym to workout! Even the basic equipment at the metro parks around here are shut down. Since we own absolutely no gym equipment in our apartment, we decided to build a pull up bar.

A pull up bar is by no means a full home gym, but there are a lot of exercises that you can do on one and they’re pretty easy to build!

Great video!! On the ideas front:
1. Box for jumping (Crossfit style)
2. Squat rack
3. Bench for bench pressing.
4. Maybe some shelving solution for kettlebells/dumbbells?
I know they’re all gym related ideas, and that there are quite a few videos out there, but would be cool to see your solutions as this one was waaaay better than what I’ve seen for pull up bars.

Keep up the good work!!

The metal pipe is 3/4" thick, but the spade bit is 1" in the video. Should I always go a 1/4" size larger when drilling the hole?
Great video :-)

Thanks everything worked out great, have it installed around my garage door, just above door height. Made it a little wider with a 4 foot pipe and added the threaded caps on the ends.👍💪😊

Can you make a homemade dip station? I would really appreciate the tutorial

[royelleray]

Built this for my son to work out attached it to shed outside painted with wood preserver top notch son loves it .

I'm late to the party but glad I found this video! I would love to see a fishing rod holder maybe with tackle box storage!

[asifmustafa]

Hi Eric! Great video! Great easy to follow instructions. Built mine yesterday. It’s primed now, ready for top coat. Thanks keep up the great work. Much appreciated.

Great video and pull up bar design. Will be building this shortly. Another option for cutting the boards is a miter saw. Plus adding a stop block will produce equal length cuts very easily.

Thanks for the video guys! Just built this for my garage. Please make a dip bar video next!

[DIYBuilt]

Great video Eric, what a great build idea to pass the time during this down time.

[davidbutterworth]

What a great video and inexpensive design!
Would that design still support the same weight if it was installed upside-down? Thinking about mounting above a door but don't want the bar too high

[michaelkulman]

Great straight forward doable project video! Well done!

[MisterDivineAdVenture]

Something similar for me but I want to use straps and D-Rings = easier on the wrists, etc. I may just put a 2x4 across and attach steel rings to hold the carabiners.

[dilipnilakhe]

Thanks for sharing, i had same thing in mind will be making one for my balcony, which is my excercise area, i will be using a wood stick in place of metal pipe though

[CFranklin]

Great videos mane 👍🏾. I’ve been wanting to learn woodworking for a while and will definitely be creating some of these projects. Keep the wood workout gear coming mane!!! Love your channel 💪🏾

[josepuig]

Such a good design! I'll be making my own soon. Thanks for sharing!!

[bryanm]

On the ends of the pipes I would maybe run a bolt thru it do it doesn't rotate, especially if someone decided to do bar muscle ups on it, leave yourself enough headroom at the top

[aaronbottinick]

Eric thanks for this video! We just moved and I put this up in my new garage with no difficulty. Only issue I had was the 36” bar jusssst makes it across. I worry with use overtime that it may slide out on one side. I’m thinking about getting a longer pipe which will allow it to fully go through the boards and close it off with a cap on either end. Thanks again and love the channel!

[arielalejandrito]

Wow! This is great I needed one and I was not sure if I had to use all pipe or what . Now I know, thank you for sharing this awesome video. You got a new subscriber. Keep up the great videos.

Perfect during Covid! I built one between my rafters in the basement last year. Lol I should have recorded it! Keep up the great work!
