That means so much to me, thank you very much for your kind words.

@@solomonmachine2137 What software did you use to make the design?

Yeah I totally agree. Some flex seal or truck bed liner or any spray coating would definitely help. I’m just literally not too worried about them after actually testing the machine! Thank you!

@@solomonmachine2137 yeah I agree I don’t think it’s an issue at all

Also they sell fibers for concrete to prevent cracking. You mix it in before adding water.

I was thinking glue rubber pads in between. Maybe repurpose something like strips of an old innertube

​​this is smart. Also could put rebar or wire mesh in them. Rebar may help add to the weight and its very cheap. Lay a bunch of it in there. Also use 5000psi concrete mix or add some extra portland.

thanks bro, should i change the channel name to just my name?

Thank you for your comment. I'm aware of the 2 to 1 mechanical advantage, I've explained it in earlier videos. I believe I'm mostly referring to the wood frame supporting the weight (it is) and how a person using a regular cable machine would envision the weight. If it was a real cable machine with a real stack, it wouldn't say 70lbs instead of 140 for example. Honestly I feel like you're being lame.

@@solomonmachine2137 That's true, any cable machine just states the weight of the stack, not the weight that the user is lifting. Like I said, I am not familiar with your channel or your background, I just see a random video being recommended where a guy makes a cable machine out of wood and uses concrete for weight. So, there is a reasonable chance that "this guy" might not be aware of the mechanical advantages or disadvantages that various pulley setups result in. I went out of my way to give the information while also trying to make it clear that I am not trying to be a dick or be condescending, etc. Sorry that you seem to have taken it so personally, despite that. I just took a quick glance at your channel and I can see that you make equipment often. Looks like it's good stuff, too (I will watch some of the videos after I post this reply). Either way, keep doing what you're doing. The world needs more people that work with their hands and are capable of making things.

noted and thank you I agree

Yeah I got 8 cast iron stacks from this guy on craigslist for $500, that was a good deal! and so was your cable crossover! were all just trying to workout for cheap! good idea about the springs

Thank you!!

❤️

and he is.....? on youtube is called....?

@@mikeboston421 Might be this guy... PowerBorn Productions

@@mikeboston421 powerborn productions, made his own almost completely wood machine last 2015 i think

thank you lord. I am making more videos soon!

@@solomonmachine2137 Lets goooooo

you would essentially have to add a lot of pieces. to my understanding, the slinger is just the top few pulleys. an adjustable machine essentially is a cable loop with the weight stack weighing down the loop at some point along it. The adjustable part is where the loop connects hence why you adjust the machine from there. You would have to add like 5-6 pulleys and fabricate a few pieces

they dont need that. 6 moths later they look the exact same

Thank you! I agree lol!

We love your videos.. Love from India ❤

Not with a stack and doubtful it works better. Was just using my machine yesterday and it’s much better than cheap Chinese wall mounted trolley machines.

Looks like SketchUp but I could be wrong.

Just use bands as the assist. It’ll be cheaper, faster, less complex, and more effective.

Fusion 360. I believe it’s free! It’s an auto desk application (same as autocad)

@@solomonmachine2137 Thank you!

Maybe don’t watch then? Nobody is forcing you to watch, or be a fucking asshole

@@solomonmachine2137I was eluding to the fact that the video was interesting and captivating even for someone who has no need for it... I didn't say anything negative about the video...snowflake.

@@StevefromCincinnati oh nice, honestly could be read either way. A confusing comment you made. Thanks though
