This is a step-by-step tutorial on making your own rings at home.
Time: 20 min
Cost: $15
Supplies: Two 24inch pieces of 1in PVC pipe, two 30inch pieces of 3/4inch galvanized chain, two screw locking carabiner links, two spring locking carabiner links.
Step 1: Slide chain through the first piece of pipe. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees and place on a cookie sheet. Set timer for 10 min.
Step 2: Use oven mitts to remove the first ring while grabbing the excess chain from each side (make sure you grasp an even amount of chain from each side). Immediately after removing from the oven, wrap ring around a paint can or something of equal size. Hold in place for about 2 minutes.
Step 3: Use the screw lock carabiner to connect both ends of the chain. The spring lock carabiner will be used to connect the ring to your straps. As you can see below, I have used my suspension trainer to support the rings.
