Another Hooker Bender Weekend

[Big Barn]

I spent the better part of Sunday bending these hooks for a barbell rack I’m building for my gym.



I used 3/16”x2” flat bar and formed them with a 2”D radius on my hydraulic press. Uniform repeatability was less than perfect but rectified with “massaging” a few of them.

3/8” holes punched for plug welding to 2”x3” square tube.

Isn't that always the problem with hookers, repeatability! I hate that!

Ain’t that the truth!

Just made me wonder whatever happened to Charlie Shean?

Probably retired to a place in the country and bought a tractor.

Did you have a stop on the ram? May have helped with the uniformity issue.

Yes I did and they came out “pretty good”. Perfect would have been better and not require the odd tweaking.

You got that right.
