My buddies and I are big into disc golf and find ourselves driving to a local course several times a week. The course is about 15 minutes away and when we go out there, we usually play a quick round or practice some putting. Being a creator, I thought to myself, how hard could it be to make one for my own backyard? I based my design on the baskets at the course we play at, but modified a few dimensions to be closer to PDGA regulations. With some rusty metal from a scrap pile, a machine shop and about 25 hours of work, I had my basket. After a nice powder coating and a lot of chains, here is my result that I am quite satisfied with.
Before starting this project, I tried looking around online for tutorials or designs for a basket, but couldn't find anything useful, so everything I did was from a napkin drawing. I have considered making a nice set of instructions for others to use, but wanted to see if anyone would be interested first, so if you'd enjoy a set of these, please leave a comment. Let me know what you think, I hope you enjoy it!
