Unfortunatly I do not own a calf raise machine...
If you own a squat rack then you can do whatever the hell you like in it

Got the welder out yesterday and got busy making a dumbbell rack and modifying some of my recent purchases. Photos to follow, paint is still drying at the moment.
Where do you find this gear?? Let me know if you ever want to sell or find more!!
Still looking for a Samson adjustable incline sit up board as well!
Picked up a Samson preacher attachment for $20 the other day, it's the frame only, needs a new board and padding, but that's easily done.
Guess what I'm training tomorrow?!?! Lol
YEEEEEAH! MAAAAD! OK!?!
My new toy

Spend the day yesterday doing a few things to my home gym....
Some steel:
A bit of welding:
Some paint:
And all done two dumbbell racks:
5lb to 40lb dumbbells
45lb to 55lb dumbbells as well as my Kettle bells:
Dip handles increased in diameter from 24mm to 35mm by welding some thick wall pipes over the original handles, feels much better on my hands now:
Added a cable retainer peg to my lat pulldown/seated row attachment to keep the spare cable secure and out of the way:
And finally my Samson preacher attachment frame I picked up the other day for $20, just need to add the board and some padding, easily done next time around.

BIG MICK MASTER OF THE WELDER they look sick bro, especially the Dumbell rack, looks heaps better than having the bells on the floor......like mine, lol great work
How long did the rack take? Soon you'll be making your own gym equipment!
Sure did wingman owes me about 30mins of my time and $2 worth of nails.

Not much mate, fix the preacher attachment, but not too worried about it as it has more novelty value to me rather than real value if that makes sense.
I will eventually clean up and repaint all the outdoor pieces of gym equipment and move them into the rumpus room inside, still looking for a few pieces of equipment as well, may be a leg press and calf machine, not essential but will grab them at the right price and one of those old style Samson adjustable incline sit up boards.....funny thing is I used to have one when I was about 18, sold it or gave it away (can't remember now) when I got married and moved into a townhouse, lucky I kept my lifting cage and bench press and all my weights all these years
