What are you up to in the workshop?

Put a new set of discs on the Lemken today, not much meat left on the old ones. The caps on the hubs were wearing a big so I welded bits of 16 mm round on to protect them.

Are new discs expensive for the Lemkem? Are they 500mm in diameter?

That's a tidy squat rack. You could have yourself a nice money spinner there with what some places are charging for them.

A fine job! Made up one a few years ago and it's got a lot of use in the last year. Make a belt squat to bolt onto it, simple but effective. Thinking of making some lever arms for it to replicate the incline and shoulder press machines.

Ye loop the belt over your hips so there's no load on your spine, the slight arc it descends into gives ye a bit of load reduction at the bottom. Tis a nice way to overload the legs without the risk of getting pinned under a bar.

Jaysus that's very tidy work with a hole saw. I just assumed you had used a mag drill. I'd say it would make life a lot easier alright.

Started putting it together last April, took over a shed where the original workshop in the place was, there was many an ursus and 7610 split on that floor in times past. The sister have the back section through the doors as an art studio. Got a pellet stove for handy money and that keeps the temperature up.
