I built a Rick Attig swing machine (50$), 2 sliding boxes (25$), A weight pulling sled (25$), a pulley machine for learning the top end (10$) and fixed our pit cage (0$) for my school. All together, this probably comes to 5000$, and I spent 110$. It just goes to show you, that its always cheeper and more fun to build things yourself than to buy it at a store.

haha i just built a pulley machine, it is harder than i thought it would be. One thing i have to say is use a doule pulley instead of a single, MUCH easier.
