    $10.00 Heavy Bag Swivel Mount

    I made a swivel mount for my 100 pound bag and hung it my garage. When not in use it swivels into the corner. Did the welding myself, which was very little. I made it from scrap steel from the local junk yard, and pipe I already had. If you can't weld, you could probably take it to a local shop and have it done for about $10.00.

    I tried to post pictures, but was unable to.

    It consists of:
    (A) 2 pieces of 2X10" flat stock
    (B) 2 pieces of 1 1/2" pipe. Each piece 2"
    (C) 1 90 degree 1 1/4 pipe coupling
    (D) 1 1 1/4" length of pipe 41" long
    (E) 1 1 1/4" length of pipe 22" long
    (F) 1 1" channel iron piece 27 1/2" long
    (G) 4 Tapcon anchors
    (H) 1 eyebolt
    (I) 1 Old sink stopper rod

    Costs were:
    $2.00 for scrap steel from the local junk yard
    $1.50 eye bolt
    $1.50 90 degree coupling
    $5.00 Tapcon anchors

    If anyone wants pictures, send me your email.

    Sounds cool. I'll PM you my e-mail address, you can send them to me and I'll add them to the thread. The usual problem is they are too big and simply need to be downsized.

      Looks good. Are u going to use a spring or anything in the setup to dampen vibration transmitted to your bricks? Or don't you think that'll be a problem?

        No problem with any vibration. Bag is 100# and also the chains would absorb. Not like a speed bag.
        I just put the idea on here as a guide. You can add or subtract to it.

            Thanks dad,
            Three minor things I would change. Still works fine, but you improve as you go along.

            1) Used 3/16 for the wall braces. Would probably go to 1/4"
            2) Used 2 tapcon anchors on each brace. Would probably go to 4 on the top brace.
            3) Would shorten the arm the bag is hanging on, as I never go behind the bag anyway, and it lessens the weight on the arm.
