Sorry for the tease, I don't have the drum mounted yet. I'm taking my time, trying to do everything right the first time. This is a fully custom platform, everything between the wall and the bag is my own design (with a bit of help from my welder). If it all works out, I'll post the design, and you will be able to order the brackets for your own platforms.@ArcSwivel

The drum is custom made, 26” diameter, 2” thick, and weighs 30 lbs. The 4 rigging eye bolts are indeed Arc swivel eye bolts, fittingly I get them from a marine rigging supply company.
I managed to “rig” up a 4 point self-adjusting hoist harness between the eye bolts and the climbing carabiner. Then a 2-to-1 mechanical advantage rope hoist for lifting the platform. I need the rigging because A) I am installing this myself and dont want to damage the fancy drum, and B) my shoulder arthritis makes lifting even a beer bottle above my shoulders painfull.
Dad, the brackets are 2” x 3/8” flat bar with 1/4” plasma cut plate for the curved supports. Finished in natural beeswax.@ArcSwivel

Rusty, is your boxing room in a part of the house where the vibration won't wake others (wife) up should you want to do some late weekend night hitting? My free standing platform is great for night time bagging but the wall mount is a different story. Waaay different story.Certifiable SBX Attendee 2019
