DIY Farmer's Carry Weights from MakerPly Plywood and a Couple of Bags of Concrete
Posted by Karl Ulrich on
Grip strength is one of the cleaner predictors of all-cause mortality, and the farmer's carry is the simplest exercise that loads it. The equipment is the problem: half-bodyweight implements run $1.50 to $3 per pound delivered, and most home gyms top out well below the weight you actually need. This build solves it with about $50 of materials: scraps of MakerPly melamine-faced eucalyptus plywood, a 36-inch length of 1-inch schedule 40 steel pipe cut in half for handles, and two 80-lb bags of concrete mixed right in the boxes. A pair of 85-lb weights, with headroom to top off to 90.

Baltic Birch Plywood Project -- Raising your Refrigerator
Posted by Maker Stock on
Top freezer refrigerators are inexpensive, but they require tall people to stoop to peer inside the main compartment. You can make a stand out of baltic birch to raise up your fridge by 12 - 14 inches. This makes it much easier to use and gives you some space for recycling underneath.
