Guest kINGPIN Posted August 15, 2001 Share Posted August 15, 2001 I was looking back through some of the old posts and found one about how to make a hub pinch thingy by drilling a hole in a hockey puck and putting an eye bolt through it. Excellent idea!!!! Being the cheapskate that I am, I made myself a hub by using one of my 0.5 kilo plates (standard). Take the plate, put a chain through the hole, put a nice thick nail through the top link to hold it in place, stick a loading pin at the bottom (or just loop the chain through the weights) and hey presto!!! A nice cheap hub, and because the hub is not fixed to the chain, you can use the same stuff with different sized plates (like a 2 1/2 kilo plate). To help keep the nail stable I put a bend in mine with a vice and a hammer but hey if you are good at it you could bend one The whole thing should look somin like this (if it was hanging: --II-- <----- nail through chain ***** <----- small weight plate II II <------ chain II ? <----- loading pin hook through chain # # <------loading pin # = Hope this helps people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WesMarden Posted December 26, 2002 Share Posted December 26, 2002 Or you could use an eye bolt, a nut, and a washer to hold the chain. Would only add maybe a dollar to the cost. I was looking through all the post trying to get ideas for making my own equipment and saw this one and thought I could add a little bit to it.

Sybersnott Posted December 28, 2002 Share Posted December 28, 2002 I made a bunch of them, and gave them away to various people! If you wanted one so bad, why didn't you contact me? Maybe later on, I build a few more.... who knows..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
