I made this bar this morning. What do y'all think?

nice work, damn near looks identical to those for sale !
 
Looks good. Might be a little out a little to far though. Could just be the angle. Perfect for an extended swinger.
 
I made it a little longer than normal. Wanted to be able to strap something to it if needed. Thanks. By the way here is a pic of it freshly made and not painted so you know I actually made it.

WTH, thats not "home made"
i see a full shop, with overhead crane :)
 
This is at my work. I had some spare time. Also metal was free, it was scrap. I'm our main welder in our shop, so I'm used to working with metal. Weight is not bad at all. I was going to make it out of aluminum, but couldn't find any aluminum rods, and didn't have quick access to a tig welder.
 
Don't be afraid to build stuff. Yes I did this at work, but everything I used was stuff I have at home. Welder, metal cutter of your choice. I used a portable band saw, and a vise to bend my flat bars in.
 
Believe it or not, that's my next order of business. I have been busy and haven't had much time to work on it. I have been looking at several and trying to decide what I want.
