| 352.1 | Easy To Do With a Frame | SALEM::PAGLIARULO | | Wed Jun 08 1988 08:48 | 9 |
| I just finished hanging a 35"X25" mirror in my bathroom. Don't
know if it's an option but I used a router and a keyhole bit to
make slots in the back of the frame. The mirror was then hung from
screws put into studs. It sits flat and there is no hardware showing.
For a mirror without a frame could you use adhesive to attach
the miiror to the tile?

| I am trying to mount some speaker brackets [those swivel/tilt things]
on a wall and have tried using raw plugs to secure, but when I fitted
the speakers the brackets ripped out, the wall is very porous and has
an irregular cavity approx 1�" in to the holes, I then tried various
cavity fixing to no avail also stud bolts [bolt with metal rachet
expanded raw plug around it] wont fit thru the holes in the bracket.
Then I tried shifting the brackets down slightly in an atempt to
find solid wall, but instead hit metal [4-5" from a bay window]
Ive thought about making a wooden base plate and fixing it to the
wall with loads of screw/rawplugs.....
I put it to the panel, what do you suggest ?
? ?

| re.0 You should try and use toggle bolts instead of the plugs.

| I have the following presumably easyly solved mechanical problem that I
need advice on. The picture below is of a leg-lift machine which I
designed that I wish to install in my home gym in my basement.
(FYI there are no moving parts on it, just myself)
It is made of 2 2x8 arm rests with metal-conduit grip-handles resting
on 2 2x4 45degree (?) angle supports. The problem I have is how to attach
the 2x8's to the wall. The 2x4 supports will rest on a 2x4 attached to
the wall studs (2x4 f24" o.c. walls) with lag bolts. This will take
care of the "downward" support from my own weight when using it.
But what would be the best method of fastening it to the wall?
Should I just get some beefy angle irons and throw in 6 lag bolts to
the wall and another 6 in the arm rest on each side? I want to stay
away from anything complicated here. Just want to keep it simple.
(Which it probably is anyway.) I just don't know if an angle iron both
above and below where the rest meets the wall will hold my 180lb frame
with my legs swinging up and down, for an extensive amount of time.
(fyi I may very well in the future use foot weights and [read
hopefully] and may very well gain to my goal of 200+ lbs so I'd like
this thing to be able to handle about 250lbs.)
Also I will want to attach handles horizonally out at each arm rest to do
parallel dips. So the "outward" force shown below could be quite
substantial.
Thanks, and enjoy the character graphics that follow.......

| 352.7 | Here's a static analysis | NATASH::MARCHETTI | In Search of the Lost Board | Thu Jul 18 1991 09:18 | 16 |
| I did some rough calculations assuming a 200 lb load and the angle
between the arm rest and the support being 60 degrees. This results
in loads of about 70 lbs in a vertical direction and about 80 lbs in a
horizontal direction where the 2x8's meet the wall. Since you have
two, it's 40 lbs each.
The above is a static analysis; when exercising there will be some
dynamic loading, but your angle iron and lag bolts approach should work
fine. The shelves in my garage are probably loaded more heavily.
You probably don't need 6" lags. The swing bearings on my kids'
swing set are attached with 5/16" x 3" lags and they've held up for
over four years. The dynamic load from a swing is substantial,
especially with occasional use by certain 39 year old kids. 8-)

| 352.8 | that'll do it, just was making sure | SNAX::HURWITZ | | Fri Jul 19 1991 01:21 | 13 |
| Thank you much Bob. I never took that stuff in school.
What I meant with the lag bolts was 3 lag bolts in the wall and 3 in
the arm rest on each side. A 6" lag bolt would be 3" too many into my
work bench's peg board on the other side of the wall ;-)
I'll go with a couple beefy angle irons and 3" lag bolts and if I ever
feel it's ripping off the wall I'll jump off :-)
(p.s. Thanks for the note title change. Couldn't have titled this one
any better myself.)
