Used 1.25 inch pvc but made them a bit too high and perhaps a tad too long (heeight approx 16", length approx 18 "). What dims did you use for yours? BTW - those rings are fantastic looking - never thought do-abel w/plywood. Nicely done artwork. Agree tho - the usage is the hard part.

I'm into crossfit as well and Do you have any plans to make any more gear. I was admiring the picture from the September 29th WOD from Crossfit (http://www.crossfit.com/mt-archive2/2009_09.html). I think you appreciate it more when you make it yourself. Don't you? They look awesome! I’m into crossfit as well and Do you have any plans to make any more gear.

If you have 4-5/8" minus 3-7/16", that leaves you just under an inch....right? I don’t think the measurements are right… If you have 4-5/8″ minus 3-7/16″, that leaves you just under an inch….right?

The smaller straps seem to scrape your upper arms more when you're doing ring dips.
