How to make PVC Gymnastic Rings

Well, this instructable goes over how you can make the rings, my results with them over a 6 month range, and just ways to conserve your material for best use, and an alternative way to make them and have them finished off as for aesthetics.

You will need:
2" x 12' foot lashing straps (Harbor Freight Tools: $3.99)
2 rolls of 244 lb capacity nylon rope (Harbor Freight Tools: $1.49)
2x 1.25" x 60" pvc pipe (Lowes: $1.50 each)
Duct tape
Aluminum foil and a large cookie sheet
an old fish pail
An oven
a hacksaw
Play sand
Gorilla Glue Tape

Step 1 Cutting the PVC to size and prepping it

Take one 5ft section and cut it into three equal pieces of 20 inches each - trust me, that's all you'll really need, and in this way, you'll be able to make two more pairs of rings for friends and family. Once the pipe is cut to size, and you have two equal sections, tape off an end on each of them using some duct tape (gorilla glue tape has bad results in an oven). Also, wipe down the outside in case there's any dirt or residue stuck on the pipe sections. Tape one square piece over the tip so that it comes down around the sides a bit, then one section all the way around the brim of the pipe's end piece.
