Check out these DIY pieces of gym equipment:

Squat Stands with multi-level catches.

Dumbbell Rack (multi-functional: EZ Curl Bar holder, Weight Plates holder, Situp bar.)

They're all made of wood and are easy to assemble.

so, anyone tried the squat stands?
designed for bench press and other stuffs as well, seems to be useful
but is it safe

yo blackdove, thanks for the guide.
I learnt and made the wooden squat racks based on your guide.
it explain so nicely that newbie like me can learn to make 1. thank you so much.
so far it works great.
the metal one looks nice too, but have no idea working with metal yet, as I am also still new with wood. but might want to make one later on.
btw, is there any chance you have the guide of the big wooden rack posted on the first page of your metal squat rack guide?
i know it eat up space, but kinda interested in it (it has pull up bar biggrin.gif)

here's a pic of the wooden 1 naked without paint biggrin.gif

That's some awesome DIY's you guys have. Mine is not DIY but just making use of what I have.

I do dips using a ladder.

For squats, I use a plastic chair and a bench and some secondary/uni books to increase the height and to reduce the noise.

Sometimes I do parallel pull-ups(body horizontal to the ground) with my double-decked bed.

i used to use plastic chair too :-) haha
