1. Prepare materials for production of the makivara – the old car tire, the strong long chain (length about 2 meters), the bolt on 50 mm. with the ring head, with the nut and the washer and also the piece of the tree of 2х15 centimeters, of 60 centimeters. Also you will need two self-tapping screws, the piece of dense skin of 15х15 centimeters, strong glue or cement and also the S-shaped hook.
2. At the tire remove the frame and the center, having left the round rubber rim. Across the opening of the tire lay bar of the tree and screw it on rubber bolts, screwing on one bolt since each end of bar.
3. From the inside of the tire fix bolts by washers and nuts. Also you can fix the bar on rubber, using ordinary self-tapping screws.
4. Near one of the ends of wooden bar which will be located from above makivara attach the bolt with the ring head, having passed it through the tire. Tighten the nut with the washer from the reverse side. Apply the cement square of 15 by 15 centimeters in size on the central part of bar of the tree.
5. Also instead of cement it is possible to use glue. Until the surface of the square dried, paste from above the square piece of dense leather or rubber rubber. Through the opening in the ring head of the bolt pass the S-shaped hook, and then to the free edge of the hook attach the chain.
6. By means of the hook you will be able to change makivara height, suspending it on any surface.
