Jon, I thought you might be interested in how I did similar. Here's
links to some old dropbox posts. Issues with the bench in use: my son
isn't fond of the bench, wants something with a better pad; the
elevation toggle is a real pinch point; The threaded pins, while hell
for stout and very secure, are slow. But it damn sure don't wiggle or
flex.

Wow, thank you Pete, you did a phenomenal job on that. There will come a
day, not too far off in the future, when it dawns on your son that there is
no other bench he would rather work at.

I really like how you tackled the flat bench to incline bench transition,
your solution is both elegant and simple by using the nested tubing. I have
been struggling to come up with an acceptable solution, and I think I'm
going to steal your idea.

Thanks!

Jon
