What are you using as the main board? I am in the process of setting up a pain cave. Due to the fact that it will be on t&g floor boards in an upstairs room I am looking at trying to put together a fairly good sound/vibration deadening set up.

Fab work !
The main boards are phenolic coated birch plywood 18mm(trailer board). It is hard surface, waterproof and looks clean . I was debating to go with clear laquer on plain plywood, but the cost and time was nearly as much as phenolic ply
I'm also using medium density foam on the underside plate . 5mm

@CXRAndy this look s a great design mate and I think im up for the challenge of making one myself? if you don't mind sharing of course where did you get the pivot point bearings from? is this the model you have the climb on?
what are your thoughts on this, do you think it would be thick enough??https://www.envirobuild.com/product...MIivqj69OP3gIVQ7DtCh2A1wKHEAQYAiABEgJubfD_BwE

This is the company I bought them from https://www.bearingboys.co.uk/Pillow-Blocks/UCP204-Medway-20mm-Pillow-Block-Bearing-1778-p
Yes I have my climb on this rocker you see
I would go for the 18mm, but at a push 12mm https://www.envirobuild.com/collections/protective-waterproof-boards
I can stand on my 18mm plywood and it doesn't feel like its flexing under my, ahem weight
The sheets you're looking at are 8'x4' dimensions. To make use of one board, your first cut needs to be slightly on an angle to create a width on the turbo end of 2'6"(760mm)
If you get a basic shape like this with 760mm between the arrows. Obviously the pointy end is wider(limitations of my graphics skill)
I found a supplier who sold the sheet I wanted in 5'x2'6" so didnt have to be so careful with the initial design
