I posted that as a response to another thread, but decided to start its own topic.
Has anyone made their own bag stand? If so, what did it look like?
Mine is made of 4 by 4's, and 2 by 4's. Also, I used carriage bolts, a few screws, and a simple eye bolt.

Excuse my ignorance, How did you set this up once you built it? Did you bolt it to a wall beam or is it free standing(set in concrete?). My husband keeps saying he will make me a metal one(welded) but this looks like something I could make myself and I wont be waiting "till the cows come home"

I should have mentioned that I set it in concrete.
I would not fasten it to a wall beam myself due to the side to side swing of the bag. Mine does "twist" a small bit side to side when the bag swings, but I have been using it for about 7 years now and it is holding up great.
In the end, I spent about $40 for everything, but I could have done a little bit better on the cost if I would have tried harder. Still, $40 is far better than $200 for a premade freestanding stand. Also, there is a sense of satisfaction every time I use it, knowing that I made it with my own hands and out of a design from my head.
