It turned out pretty well. I can post the specifics if anyone wants. Basically I got some old fence posts, went to a metal shop (cut/welded myself), and there ya have it!

Very nice, but it looks a little bit like the bastard offspring of a guillotine & a gibbet. 
With proper rigging, it surely is strong enough to do Giants 
Haha can you elaborate Fred? It feels incredibly sturdy.

indeed... I think you great great grand children's great grand kids will still do pull ups on that thing you constructed...
This pull up bar will see generations of tennis elbow! 
That looks really great. Drop some brackets on one side with a few dowels and BOOM instant Stahl bars!
I'd love the plans if you could PM me, although I have no welding ability.

No problem man, i'll get some stuff to you. The only real welding involved was attaching the bar to two flat plates so that it could be screwed into the wood. The rest was just cut to size by me. Cheaper to buy say a meters worth then having them precut.
