BALANCE TO ME IS KING
HERE BELOW ARE THE ai GENERATED BLUEPRINT WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE A HELPFUL IMPLEMENT TO PRACTICING DAILY.
Enhanced Balance Board Blueprint with Guide Rails
Materials Needed:
Wood Board: Plywood (3/4 inch thick)
Roller: Four circular disks made from plywood (each about 6 inches in diameter) with a connecting bolt.
Blocks: Four wooden blocks (2 inches thick and 6 inches wide) to space the disks.
Guide Rails: Two wooden strips (each approximately 1 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick) that will act as rails to keep the roller aligned.
Bolt: A long bolt (approximately 10-12 inches) with nuts and washers to secure the roller.
Grip Tape: For the top surface of the balance board.
Finish: Wood stain or sealant (optional).
Dimensions:
Board Length: 30 to 36 inches
Board Width: 12 to 18 inches
Board Thickness: 3/4 inch
Roller Diameter: 6 inches (four circular disks)
Roller Thickness: 2 inches (each disk)
Block Dimensions: 2 inches thick by 6 inches wide
Guide Rail Dimensions: Approximately 1 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick
Bolt Length: 10-12 inches
Design:
Top View:
Draw a rectangle (30-36 inches long and 12-18 inches wide).
Mark the center line for where the roller will be placed.
Side View:
Show the board resting on the roller made of four circular plywood disks.
Indicate the height of the roller (total of 8 inches when assembled) and the thickness of the board (3/4 inch).
Roller Design:
Draw four circles (6 inches in diameter) to represent the disks.
Indicate that the disks will be aligned with two blocks between each pair of disks.
Guide Rails:
Draw two parallel lines on the bottom of the board, indicating the placement of the guide rails.
The rails should be positioned to fit snugly in the space between the disks, creating a channel for the roller to travel along without slipping off.
Grip Tape Placement:
Indicate the area on the top of the board where grip tape will be applied (covering the full surface).
Bolt and Assembly:
Illustrate the bolt running through the center of all four disks and secured with nuts and washers on both sides.
Block Placement:
Show the blocks positioned between the disks to create spacing.
Optional Features:
Add illustrations for rounded edges on the board for safety.
Indicate where to apply wood stain or sealant for protection.
Assembly Instructions:
Cut the Board: Cut the wood board to the desired dimensions.
Cut the Roller Disks: Cut four circular disks from plywood, each 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches thick.
Cut the Blocks: Cut four wooden blocks measuring 2 inches thick and 6 inches wide.
Cut the Guide Rails: Cut two wooden strips that are approximately 1 inch wide and 1/2 inch thick to serve as guide rails.
Drill Holes: Drill a hole through the center of each disk and through the blocks to accommodate the bolt.
Create Guide Rails:
Attach the guide rails to the bottom of the board, ensuring that they are aligned with the spacing of the disks and blocks.
The rails should be placed so that they form a channel for the disks to travel within, preventing lateral movement.
Assemble the Roller:
Stack the disks alternating with blocks: Disk, Block, Disk, Block, Disk, Block, Disk.
Place the bolt through the center of the assembly and secure it with nuts and washers.
Ensure that all disks and blocks can rotate freely.
Sand the Edges: Sand the edges and surfaces of the board and roller for a smooth finish.
Apply Grip Tape: Attach grip tape to the top surface of the board.
Test Stability: Place the board on top of the roller assembly, ensuring the guide rails align with the disks, and test for stability and balance.
