Bought the 5/8" thick AR 500 8" gong on eBay delivered to the house for $20.50.
Repurposed some old bed rails that have been hanging around for at least 20 years.
Scrounged some nuts and bolts from the junk bin.
Cut two short pieces of chain from a longer length I had on hand.
Used the remainder of a can of spray paint my daughter used on a 4-H project.
Had to buy two open chain links and two J-hooks.
Total cost less than $25 unless I count the 6-pack of beer I went through grinding off the nipples and rivets from the bed rails.
My buddy provided moral support throughout the entire project and insisted on getting in the pic.
