    Sounds like a horrible idea. Just waiting for someone to get hurt. Buy a real one please.

    and the second little meathead made his squat rack out of wood, and the big bad weighs knocked it all down.

    Bro, I'd stay away from wood!!!

    If you can weld, go to a steel supply place and go to town.

    If you can't weld, there is always 1in or 1.5in streaded steel pipe which you can asssemble like an erector set with fittings.

    Check out http://www.extremehowto.com/xh/artic...ticle_id=60299 to see how to work with steel pipe.

    I would trust that a lot more than wood!
