Check out the innovative homemade squat stands (nice idea). Sadly this type of threaded tubing only appears to be available in the USA, unless of course someone can point me in the direction of a source in the UK??
In makeyourowngear's own words! 'retail is for suckers!' a view also shared by Pat 'Homemade' Hodgson.
From the site
Indespensible. These have been loaded to 405# and work great. Black iron pipe and fittings all 'round, 1 1/2" for the feet and stationary upright, 1" for the adjustable upright. I had the welder tack all the places that might be trouble if they turn (the feet mostly) and drill the holes. The caps on one side of the feet can be removed and a 3/4" or 1" pipe can be slid thru both stands for added security.
Racks
1" pipe, elbows, etc. I need them for the mental security. Others would say "live with the ambiguity."
