The board component costs are as follows:
- Iron Gym Pull-up Bar (like this one): $30 retail - can be found for $15-20. I bought mine for $15 from clearance at Target.
- 3/4 inch x 2 feet x 4 feet of plywood. I bought this for $24 at Home Depot, although I'm sure there are cheaper sources. Which reminds me -- the height of the hangboard is actually an even 2 feet to account for the plywood dimensions. I just shaved half an inch from the top and half an inch from the bottom.
- Wood glue/
4 large bolts/4 large nuts: ~$10. EDIT: 8 nuts/bolts, sorry!
As you can see, the top and bottom of the back block are separate so that the angle of the mount can be changed. I connected the top and bottom by, again, embedding 2 nuts to the top and using 2 bolts to fasten the bottom. I'm not sure what other methods can be used to connect the two parts and make it easy to disassemble/adjust.
Overall, it took about 2 days to complete. The longest part was waiting for the wood glue to dry. Not bad when compared with the Blank Slate.
