Stall Bars!

[Stella Sanguina]

So I finally found some plans to make my own Stall Bars. Sorry, I'm a college student working my way through school, I don't have the funds to drop a couple hundred bucks on something like that.

I wonder if my roommates will mind if I bolt this thing to the wall in my room? Or maybe I can devise a kind of stand for it. Something that makes it easier to transport or store, and I don't have to go touching up any holes in the walls if I move out.

If anyone is interested in the plans, check them out here:

They're simple instructions, but they make it super easy to build one of your own. And yes, I paid the $10 for it, and was slightly dismayed at the fact that it's only a 3 page Microsoft Word document, but actually, it seems to be pretty straight forward (this coming from a girl who was raised in a hardware store. To anyone else it might just be greek.).

Man, I'm spreading myself a bit thin these days. Trying to hand sew my own halloween costume, trying to get an apartment in Manhattan, trying to move, trying to find a job, trying to build Stall Bars before I go... I must be insane!

But man, I love Halloween. It's the holiday of my heart. Next year maybe I'll go as something simple. Like Mila Jovovich's character from 5th Element. You know, the costume with all the little white straps and the orange wig. Check it out, I'm already a shoe in: Multipass! Big bada-boom! (Only lovers of the movie will even get that.)

I love them. Today I hung upside down on them....they are an amazing tool. I have a lot of ideas for them and only have tested a few of them. The dowels are pretty expensive, $4-5 per, but the rest is cheap. The hardest part is finding the wall space. They are 4 feet wide and almost 8 feet tall.

I hope the stall bars work out let me know!! I am looking to have some built, as it is cheaper than buying, but quality and stability are my worries. I love clever people who do their own!

My hubby is building me one. And he built me handstand trainer, and a box to chest stand on. I love him for these sweet things... The parts are cheap if you have the skills.
