I built this, by myself! hehehe
The girls love this new swing.
Lexi was not so sure, but we got her to sit on it
long enough to get a picture.

I found this tutorial, and made this swing for my kids.
Although I made mine about 20 inches long and about 1 foot off the ground, since I was making it for the kids. I wanted to make it big enough for 2 kids to sit on it together or 1 adult.
It was quite easy to make, but cost more than expected (the rope was kind of expensive). The hardest part was drilling the holes for the rope. I had to pre-drill with a small bit, then use the largest one we had. It still wasn't big enough, so I tried to move the bit in a circle until the hole was big enough.
