Hey guys. Well, I want to build a home gym. got an olympic barbell and made some plates with a local blacksmith, I'm a building a power rack by my own, got the 2" structural tubes, made some CAD plans and started today.
Well the thing is, I dont know the standar diameter for the J-hook holes, I bought a 1" drill bit, but I dont know if the holes should be small. Any ideas?

those are the plates in case anyone want to know how they look

How much did it cost to make your own plates?
You coat them in anything?

He made the mold using regular plates we borrow from a local gym, then he weighed the iron and melted into the molds.
