John Knowlton Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 Spoiler A piece of 2 inch bar stock which I’m gonna convert into a 2 inch Olympic bar with revolving ends. And 300 pounds of 6 1/2 inch diameter barstock which I’m gonna cut up into pinch blocks. I think these will be closer to a traditional Blob then what I made before 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Knowlton Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 All the cuts are done. Put them on the scale for a weight check. This will probably change just a little bit after I grind all the edges down. 5 inches is 50 pounds 4 3/4 inches is 47 pounds 4 1/2 inches is 44 pounds 4 1/4 inches is 42 pounds 4 inches of 39 pounds 3 1/2 inches is 36 pounds 3 inches is 30 pounds 2 1/2 inches is 24 2 1/4 inches is 22.5 pounds 2 inches is 18 1/2 pounds after I clean them up, grind down all the edges, give them a little sandblast. I’ll re-weigh them with the correct weights. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
