The Fam enjoying the tree swing.
Used old wood from a friend.
Space marked around tree limb and u-bolt width marked evenly to either side.
Holes drilled with homemade drill guide.
U-bolts used to avoid damaging the tree limb. Chiseled recess to allow u-bolts reached and tightened.
Hand-sawed joints. Identical on either side.
