This instructable will be teaching you how to make a Chinese Gong, which can be used for movies, fights, etc. I use it right before a ping pong match with my brother.

The Materials You'll Need

Black spray paint Hammer Nails Tape measure Wood Fishing line (it shows rope but I ended up using fishing line instead) Saw Clear Polyurethane (optional) Drill

Making the Pieces

Cut out the wood pieces that are one inch longer than the symbol on each side as shown. Make six of these

Making the Box

Now take four pieces of the wood and nail them together.

Now drill two holes into the top of the symbol as shown, then put on the clear polyurethane (optional to give it the shine) and the black spray paint to the box and tie the symbol to the box with the fishing line. I actually used screw-eyes to tie onto the wood. To make a stick you can simply take a stick and cover the end with rubber bands. You are now done!
