Here's the pull-up bar. Finally I have a place at home to practice one-arm hanging leg raises.

The rope on the left side is very thin (less than 3/4") and difficult to climb, but it works fine for short repeats. The rings on there are from Rogue Fitness, and are something I intend to replace. The rings themselves are too thick and the straps are unnecessarily bulky. Unfortunately, I have this bad habit of making beautiful sets of wooden rings, only to give them away to friends in the gymnastics club. Once I get around to making another set for myself then I'll outfit it with appropriate straps that hang better on that J-hook.
