    Not pretty but it works

    I don't think Rockwell had this application in mind but here goes........Presenting the Rockwell stand MkI!

    Started as an Everlast platform but with ceilings short of 8ft. (95") and me at 6'4" (76") it needed modifying without limiting myself to a sit-down version or jumping straight into a 4X6. Plus, I am limited on space (650 sq.ft.) so I need something that can be put aside and not take up a lot of room.

    (Sorry about the mess in the background, but I am reorganizing the place)

    A+ for originality! A bagger's got to bag, and however you have to do it - Git 'er Done! Hope it hits good.

      I like it. I love the spirit in our hard core baggers, if there is a will there's a way! Never let the lack of a wall stop you from baggin'

        Thanks guys. "Necessity is the mother of invention", eh? I wish I could claim the design, but it's only an adaptation of the bench vice application used by John Nuuhiwa from Hawaii found on Speed Bag Central

          Yeah, a bagger sent those pictures to me waaay back in the early 2000's, by snail mail. This guy lives in Hawaii and I found those pictures very inspirational, so I put them on my website. ( you can see all the background clutter when the girl is hitting, and I "erased' the clutter from the wheelchair picture to emphasize his chair and face contentration, which the clutter really dimished.)

            Hey CS, a bagger's gotta do what a bagger's gotta do. Nice work. Hope it works out well for you.

              i had the exact same problem. my brackets and board was all the way up and the bag was in center of chest when i stoop up. lol, so i almost had to do the splits when i hit. now i mounted my on the ceiling joices and the board is head level standing up. this is way better for me!
