    I-box upgrade with custom 3 ½ inch maple drum

    Some of you might have already done a few of these... I thought I would post this incase it would help someone else.

    I also want to say that the I-box is a solid platform. I had very little vibration before making any changes. I did these mainly for fun…

          That's the nicest setup I've seen.

            Me B Speechless. I think I'll send your .pdf in an email to Balazs to let them see the amazing creativity within the bagging community. I know they always look at form and function but sometimes these companies need to be reminded of how speed bag equipment can also become works of art...that also work. and this setup clearly is a work of art.

            Awesome, CEM326. thanks for posting that.

                Thanks for all positive comments.

                It was a fun project to complete. I have learned a lot and was inspired to make the platform by reading everyone's posts on this site. Hopefully my little contribution gives some of that feeling back!

                    Nice Work!! How about some specs? How long did it take to built? length, weight?

                    That is truly impressive. I solved my i-box's vibration issues by wedging a 2x4 between the top of the board & the ceiling beam, but your solution is slightly more elegant

                    There are forum members here who sell swivels and others that sell bags, so I suggest you start selling those platforms. I'd like to place my order now. One please.

                      Me too, but usually a labor of love doesn't have a price.

                            I didn't have a scale to weight it but I would say the drum is around 40 to 50 pounds. I went with a 27 1/2 inch drum becouse it's about the largest you can go without offsetting the center, which I didn't want to do.

                              I am pretty sure that your platform is the the best speedbag platform I have ever seen.
