Parallettes

Make a set of parallettes for gymnastics and strength training.

I had a lot of 1/8" face board and decided to turn it into plywood of varying thickness. First, cut the sheets down to desired sizes.

Glue and clamp the sheets together.

Trim all the pieces to uniform blocks.

Attach the posts to the bases.

Drill holes to accommodate the bars. Insert the dowels and secure with a screw.

Glue imitation leather to the bottoms of the feet to prevent slipping. Trim the edges.

Add a finish to the wood.
