People who play sports, according to statistics, are less likely to suffer from chronic diseases, are always in a good mood and in good physical shape. But we all know how much sports equipment costs now. Sometimes the price of sports equipment exceeds the price of a blouse from a famous couturier. Why limit yourself to active movements and sports, if you can independently make any sports equipment in home conditions. First, take a small thing, such as a sports racket.
If you are interested in making a table tennis racket on your own, then watch the video.
To make a tennis racket, we need:
- plywood;
- silicone foam;
- thin strips;
- electric jigsaw;
- file;
- cutter;
- Super glue;
- paint with brushes;
- PVC tape;
- a pencil;
- corner;
- sandpaper;
- roulette.
We will need a piece of plywood in order to draw a racket outline on it. Dimensions should be closer to the standard, namely 28 by 16 centimeters. You do not need to draw a racket at random, it threatens that one edge can turn out more or less than the other. Draw cells or horizontal and vertical stripes on the plywood and draw your racket on them already.
Now we take a jigsaw and cut a racket. It is best to use a jigsaw with an infrared beam, on it you will see in which direction you need to move the jigsaw.
We process the racket with sandpaper. It will allow you to hide all the bumps and remove burrs that can seriously injure your hands.
For the handle we need lining of a thin rail. Carefully measure the length of the rail, it should be no more than 11 centimeters.
We grind the top of the lining with a file at an angle of 30 degrees.
Now silicone foam will be used. From it we cut a contour for the top of the racket, but before that we need to paint the racket itself. Paint one side of the racket in one color and the other side in a different color.
While the racket will dry, we cut silicone foam along the racket’s outline.
We made 2 pieces of silicone foam, now we need to glue them on both sides using super glue.
Now glue the straps on the handle and wrap everything with PVC tape.
All the racket for table tennis is ready, you can go play.
