Jaystepher presents another tutorial.
Today I'm going to show you how to build this cool little swing set
with working swings
that can be used for any playground,
school, or park.
The first thing I'm going to show you is how to build a swing.
Take two of these 1 by 4 plates,
place them on top of one another like so.
This is going to be the seat of our swing.
Take a 1 by 2 plate,
place it here on the top.
Now I'm going to use one of these Lego chains.
Just a simple plastic chain that you can get.
And I'm just simply going to
place it on here
with the link that's facing up.
So we get something that looks like that.
Now I'm going to take another 1 by 4,
place it on top here.
And finally I'm going to take a 1 by 4 smooth tile,
place it on the top of that
and there we go.
I already have a swing.
Make many as you want. I'm going to make two.
So I've already made another on here.
Okay so let's tart off with the swing set itself that actually holds the swings. So we'll just put those up there.
you're going to need a 1 by 12 plate.
And I'm just going to simply use a 1 by 2 plate,
we're going to place it right in the middle here.
Get a couple of these studs, 1 by 1 studs, just start placing them here.
As long as there's a space here for the chain to fit through,
you're fine.
You need four of those in total.
I need two of these angle brackets,
place them here at the corners
like so.
I'm simply going to come in here,
take a 1 by 1 plate, we're going to place one on this corner here,
and one on this corner here.
And to fill this in,
put a 1 by 2 plate.
I don't have anymore angle plates,
or angle brackets,
or corner brackets, or whatever they're called.
I'm just going to make some to put in there.
There you have it.
Take four more of these 1 by 1 studs, we're going to place them on top here.
And fin ally, a 1 by 2 plate.
Now I want to put my swings in here.
So I'm just going to simply drop the chain in here.
It doesn't matter if it's perfect yet
because we can readjust that later.
So I'm just going to simply drop my chains in here.
Something like this.
And the next thing I'm going to take another one of these 1 by 12 plates,
we're going to place it on top here
to kind of lock in all the chains and stuff.
Next we're going to take four of these friction plates,
also another friction plate here with a cross hole opening,
we're going to place it in here like so.
Tip it up one notch,
and we're going to put it right here.
Now I saved some time and I made some other ones. So we're going to put some more here on the other side,
the back side like that.
And we're going to continue this and put them on this side here.
There you have it.
Finally to strengthen up the top, I'm going to take four of these corner brackets.
we're going to put one in each corner of our swing set.
This will strengthen up the corners nice, and kind of lock everything together.
There you have it.
Finally we need to make the legs for our swing set.
So I'm just going to take a 1 by 2 friction plate.
This one's got the friction thing on he top,
and a friction fork with a cross opening.
Simply going to place this on top like so,
and I want to put it one slot ...
one thing on the inside there
so we got a nice inside corner. This will be for our legs,
and take a crossed Technic piece thing.
This is a five stud high rod.
Just gong to simply slip it in here
like so.
This will be our legs for our swing set.
I'm going to make four of those in total.
So I'm going to start piecing this together.
I didn't have another grey one so I had to use a black.
And we're going to simply slip these in with these inside.
Like that.
So we're going to start piecing this all together.
There we have it.
Now I want to attach this to my base plate.
Kind of just put it down evenly. You can see it's three studs apart.
There we have it,
there's a cool little swing set here.
This will be great for any park,
school, playground.
Very easy to build.
I hope this tutorial helped you guys out.
Thank you for watching!
