Build your own dojo (3 rd and final part) Reporting

Well, today we will finish our dojo, do you think? Well, you remember the previous post , had prepared the ground plates of copopren perfectly placed on the floor and a mirror that gave us a feeling of spaciousness:

But, as mentioned, the copopren no slippage and that is not good for our practice. What can we do to fix it? Let's see ... occurs to us to put a tarp or something. And where will these things? Let's ask an upholsterer, who surely knows.

Indeed! After asking one, says that generally used for the canvas mat is also put on the trucks. Go! always learn something new. After teaching us the type of Canvas, we verify that it is. All we have to say is the size and color of it. In our case, we needed to cover 30 m2 , but we must always take as a little higher (on all four sides) to be secured properly to the floor or wall concerned. And we chose the color blue. By the way, VERY IMPORTANT : we must tell the upholsterer to put rings for the 4 sides of the canvas. Then you will see why.

Once notified, we went to pick her up perfectly dobladita gave us and charged us € 215 . Now it is put on the plates of copopren:

Well, let's go spreading it around the space:

and viewed from another angle:

Until everything is covered:

looking good, eh? But ... Those wrinkles! As we have to get a board ... Will be no. This is where the rings become important I told you before. What we do is pass a cord (sold in hardware stores) through the rings sides of the canvas and we can tighten it until the wrinkles disappear.

This requires that previously drilled in the ground (or if you it is better on the wall) where we will put eyebolts several holes through which pass the cord and, thus, we support points to effectively tighten the canvas. In the picture you can see what I mean:

Although the picture quality is not well appreciated, set both the cord passes through the rings of the canvas as the lugs which are the ground. The opposite side of the canvas, not pictured, also has rings, and they've been drilled to the ground screws so that side is completely embedded in the ground, unable to moving. Thus, by pulling the cord from the other end we see in the picture, the canvas is stretched. See how it looks:

This looks great already, right? Ah! I forgot. The other side of the canvas (the one next to the mirror and the one next to the shoes pictured) we have stuck to the floor with silicone, there were no loose as well. In the picture you can see the remains of silica in the soil. This then can be covered with a wooden slatted ate (like door frames), but we do not have photos (sorry).

In principle, we can practice Aikido perfectly, right? because it can slide smoothly on the mat and have a mirror to look at our movement. Yeah, but I do not know, seems a little cold, do not you think? We will add a touch more ... atmosphere. How can we improve the appearance to be more like a dojo? The wood usually look good in these cases, so why not line the walls with wood? Yes! That's right! Nothing, we'll buy.

We are approaching a DIY store and ask for more planks of wood (such tablet, 0.5 cm thick) to cover our walls. Her measurements: 2.10 m high x 1 m wide). In our case, we bought a total of 10 boards, of which 8 were dark brown ("wenge") and 2 white, for not giving it so dark the future dojo. But that is a taste of the consumer ...

And how much cost these boards? its price was 16 € / unit , so the total of the 10 planks = € 160. After loading all, we held the "van" and heading to the dojo, wishing them. So, upon arrival, we got down to work! First side:

And then the other:

was how to install with simple screws, we chose black because there were better. Drilled and all the boards on the wall, using each, 4 or 5 screws on the board's longest and 2 or 3 in the narrowest part. Once in place, we gave him a hand cleaning:

's it. Oh no! Remained the most important: the picture of O Sensei:

At last we're done! What what is left? For yourselves what you will say. Here it is completely dojo Photo finished:

What do you think? Not bad, right? Well, you know, with a little bit of money you can assemble your own dojo. Below we summarize the economic costs, approximately, to build a dojo of 30 m2:

- 30 copopren plates of 2 cm in thickness and density of 200 kg/m3 =
€ 550 - 2 mirrors 2m high x 2m each = € 240
- 40 m2 (approx) canvas =
€ 215 - 10 planks of wood (tablet type) of 0.5 cm thick and 2.10 m high x 1 m wide =
€ 160 - 2 strips of wood, 3 m each one (to cover imperfections) = € 30

Petty And several that I will not (eye bolts, rope, silicone pot ...).

Total investment : about € 1,200

I hope you enjoyed it and, above all, you find it helpful.

PD: I want to thank Pepe that I have passed the final picture of the dojo, because I had no (it bounces!).
