Swing

What else to do on a sunny day.

It is the perfect excuse to make and swing a swing!

Let's get started shall we ?

All you need is this :

• Some jute to make jute cords
• A cord that is long enough , 20m will be enough.
• A sharp knive
• 2 metal hooks
• A needle
• Some thread

The idea was to weave a cord and attatche it to some wooding pipes.
This, just to make it comfortable.

Now let's get started, shall we?

The first thing you need to do is this :

• Cut off 4 same sized jute cords ( CA 40 CM )
• Cut off 3 same sized jute cords ( CA 30 CM )
• Attatch the ends to eachother.
• Repeat this for evry side and each jute cord.

The video of this can be found here.

• For this we need some strong wooden beams, in this tutorial i used 4,5 x 3,5 sized wooden beams.
  To know the size of the beams , i weaved the stitched cord into eachother to see how long the beams had to be.
  Make sure the beam overlap with the width of your wooden beam ( here is this 3,5CM )

• Then i marked where they had to be cut off , this is the end-result:

• Now you have to drill a hole with the same width of you 20m cord. ( which is in my case 8mm )

1. First make the markpoint by putting the beams on eachother ,so they fit. After that , you mark the center of the 2 beams.
2. Start drilling the centerpoints.

To finish up , make sure your cords are weaved like this :
