Some links I found if you want to build your own CrossFit garage gym equipment.
If you’re the build it type, which I’m not, you may be able to make some of your own gear for your garage gym. In my article “ 25 items a CrossFit garage gym can’t live without.” I talked about the equipment every garage gym should have and where I got my stuff. In my continuing search for new additions to my own garage gym I have run across a lot of pretty cool stuff relating to CrossFit home made equipment. I started collecting some of the links and thought I’d share them. I have not tested any of the methods used in the links nor do I endorse the end products, heck I don’t even know if the stuff is safe, I just thought you might be able to use some of the info. If you have a knack for building, your low on funds (See How to raise money to buy equipment for your CrossFit garage gym.), or just want read some cool posts, you might want to check out these links. Try and build at your own risk.
These links are in no particular order and your going to have to search the links to find what you’re looking for. Some links contain a lot of information about building equipment; some just contain just one article and others just show finished products, which could give you a good starting point. Hope they help.

Some other links not really related to equipment but quite entertaining.
Warning! If you don’t want to see photos of hot looking CrossFit women don’t visit these links.

Looked at this site, liked what I read. Plus a few photos of some hotties.

I'll try and add more links as I find them. If you have any suggestions or have built your own equipment please share the links in the comments section. I would love to add them as well.
See you in the hills.
