      Thanks man, it was a lot of work but then again not really. Laying the epoxy down just involves prep work, just pour the epoxy and it's a waiting game. Made a little attachment for my router so I can make perfectly 23" round cuts. Some sanding and priming gives a perfect smooth surface and it's ready for coating ��

        That is really nice. If only there was a swivel worthy enough.

          Sleek looking platform, like it's from the starship enterprise. Nice!

            Updated YouTube video with it mounted and me hitting it 😁 Just got it up and mounted today and it is solid as a rock 👌 Think I'm going to make more and throw them on eBay see what I get? Thought?

              Thanks man I was definitely looking for a design that was different from what's out there.

                        Are you going to keep the U-Hook on there? Not sure if you're just starting out so excuse me if I'm overstepping. I started with the same swivel you have on your platform but I wish I would have started with a good ball hook because that's where I've wound up. I still have a Uhook on one part of my platform as well as a chain link but I spend about 80% of my bag time on the forza. For me the ball hook was inevitable.

                          Oh no totally not over stepping. I'm fairly new to speed bags, just a part time blow off some steam type deal for me, love zoning out on the rhythm. I started off with just a basic everlast "thin platform" type set up with the "ball and hook" type swivel and the hook would always end coming out the ball. So all I have had experience with is that type and this "U-hook" style I installed on my new platform. Might have to look into that.

                            very nice.

                            Enjoy.
                            Looks like you have some abilities there. Maybe you can get a little entrepreneurial with it? Seems like there are various possibilities.

                              Exactly what I was thinking after I finished it and sat back and looked at it. Definitely in the process of making a couple more and see what path I wonder off too and see where it takes me.
                              But thanks for the positivity
