DIY Atlas Stone - Car Tire


Gary Gray

Recommended Posts

 

Look at You-Tube "Gym Training for Atlas Stones" by Craig Pfister , published 1-27-2013 at the 1:10 min. mark.  He is using a tire mounted on its rim with a pipe attached to the rim, with weight plates  on the pipe to adjust the weight of the tire.   I just made a tire "Atlas Stone" like this using a 8" pipe x 3/4" wide (I use standard plates), screwed into a 3/4" pipe flange.  The pipe flange was then welded onto the inside of the rim (not the outside of the rim as shown in the Video).   You can also screw a longer or shorter pipe into the pipe flange to adjust the number of weight plates  you are using.  My total cost for this was $40.00 for the welding as I already had everything else.
