I have just figured out how to build a diy cable machine for under 50 dollars for my garage gym in Manchester. I used some pulleys from the hardware store and a piece of coated wire and it works surprisingly well.

I can do lat pulldowns tricep pushdowns and even some seated rows with it. It is not as smooth as a commercial machine but for the price it is absolutely brilliant. I am so happy I did not spend hundreds on a dedicated cable tower.

Does anyone else have a favorite diy gym hack? I love seeing how people make their own gear to save money. If you want to know how I built mine I am happy to share the parts list and some photos of the setup!
