Description

This is a large version of the swing the ring or ring the bull game I originally created for my wife. It uses 3d printed connectors and 2x2 wood boards to create the game. You will need a few things to complete the game. The base is untested as I made a metal one for myself.

wood needed is 2"x2"x8' long you will need 3 per game.

1 piece @ 70" for upright

2 pieces @ 35" for the upper arms

2 pieces @ 12" for the support arms

4 pieces @ 18" for the base legs

2 pieces @ 6" for the hooks to attach to (more in assembly info) also either nails or screws to attach to the upright

also need: wood screws no longer than 1"

: poly cord for the rings to attach.

: line toggles (2) for easy adjustment of the cord

: heavy rings (I just found like a heavy leg screw with a ring attached and cut the lag off with a grinder)

: and large hooks (2) to catch the rings.

Assembly is pretty straight forward. Basically, print all your parts and cut the wood. If there is a screw hole in it look at the renderings and drawing and screw them in their locations.

I'd assemble in this order.

1 X base and 18'' boards

2 Swing supports onto ends of each 35" board.

3 Center support onto 70" upright board

4 Assembled upright into assembled X base.

5 35" assembled swing support into assembled center support (use the wedges instead of screws here makes it easy for storage breakdown)

6 For the center supports screw the gray support arms on the 12" pieces first then put the brace forks on the ends with the pins. Once you have them on you can hold them up to the upright and the upper support and screw in place (better to have two people or some clamps to help keep straight)

7 Use the wedges where they are needed. This unit was designed to breakdown for travel or storage. Using the wedges provides an easy way to just pull out whereas a screw requires a tool and much more effort.

8 to mount the hooks I added the 6" blocks so the bolt head can be recessed from the back the nailed onto the uprights.

9 cut two pieces of the poly cord and leave them long. Tie them onto the rings first then one end of the toggle. Pass the rope through the swing support end then back through the toggle.

10 adjust the rope by hooking it to the hook. then pull the cord tight with the toggle.

My renders don't show a location for the hook mounts since I wanted to leave this open for everyone to put it where they feel comfortable. For mine I just guessed and it worked, its more about the rope length. When playing the game remember it's not a straight swing, you arc the swing to get it to hook.

If I build another set, I'd add metal guards to the sides of the hook supports as they get beat up after a while. Hope everone enjoys the build and the game. Any questions either look at the pictures or I'll try and answer in the comments.
