DIY Strongman log press build. The DEEZUS log.
- Thread starter OffshoreDrilling
- Start date
Sanded the log down with 60 grit, 1/4āx4ā spax powerlags (9) holding each loading plate on, 1/4x 1.5ā lag bolts for the handles. Rope is screwed into the log, the heads hide nicely between the strands. Canāt even see them.
I wish Iād had a better chainsaw to work with, hand hole notches are a little sloppy. It was tough to fit the handles on the inside, so they mated smooth against the log, wedged composite shims real tight behind everything.

Ehhhh not worth the time. Iād need some more tools to speed up production. Definitely did a lot of this a harder way than it could have been.
If it werenāt for the free telephone pole, pipe and welder this would have cost another $150-200. Iāll add up what Iāve got into it tomorrow.
It's been sitting on the ground for 7 years. Before that it was a legit power pole.
I have several more.
Anything thicker, around 12ā? The one you gave me is 10 on one end and 9.5ā on the other
Iāve got another dumb project next. Circus dumbbell made out of 10ā schedule 80. The thing is going to be like 90lbs. Heavier than the log.
They take up too much space, theyāre a one trick pony. would LOVE to have some though. Trying to keep my gym equipment contained to 1/3 of the garage.
$275.42 total spent on tools and materials.
$36 of that was a 2ā forstner bit I didnāt have and a chisel.
