Pdf Monkey Rocker Plans
Atila Kalina
Are there any versions out there that make the goal a little more obvious to the finder? The finder might be less likely to destroy the container if they knew they needed to twist it to get the key out, it would still be a challenge to actually make the container work for them.
Monkey Puzzle - The Original, by Yorky Lovers was a PVC arrangement, substantially larger than the one shown in the linked plan. A person by themselves pretty much needed to lay down and manage the large hunk of pvc with their feet or knees, while delicately working on extracting the key. It had some red herrings, just to complicate matters. Sorry, I don't have a photo. It needed repairs a number of times through its history.
The user Legna and sOulbait sold Monkey Puzzle kits on eBay for a while. His Monkey Puzzle cache ended up on his front porch, so cachers could sit in a rocker and fool with it, rather than take it away. People kept grabbing it and going off with it to fool with over lunch or in some air conditioned space. Then other cachers would arrive and DNF the hide.
I have never seen a monkey puzzle cache. My first instinct would be to get out the dynamite that I carry along just for that purpose and use brute force. But I have seen Bilz Box caches requiring you to move a ball through a maze-like box until it opens up the container. You get some funny looks from people passing by when you are sitting by the side of a trail trying to open one of these.
There was one about an hour from where we live, and I tried twice to open it. Shortly after my second attempt, which drove me INSANE, because I trapped the key but could never quite get it into the tube, someone really destroyed it. The owner had hopes of putting it back in play, but it was too far gone.
Is it possible to put the instructions on the second one you built? Or if you would rather email them. I am planning on building more than one and am interested in your 2nd one too. Thanks in advance.
I've built one of the "Great Hides" monkey puzzle boxes. The PVC pipe pin was broken by a cacher so I used a 3/4 bolt to replace it. The only other place it can be broken now is the cross-over. If that gets broken I'll use steel pipe. If I had a welder I'd make the whole thing out of steel!!
I had it at the end of a .5 mile hike and not many people went after it. Kind of devious putting a puzzle like that that far in the woods. Had to move it because of the Corps of Engineers new guidelines. Now it's in town. I used the "Related Web Page" link for a hint on solving it.
Sounds awesome, I was playing around last night trying to make something with a different type tavern puzzle trying to make it lock somehow, the key part never occurred to me. I was going to put a screw eye through the hole on the latch attached to the can and then run the puzzle through it, but it doesn't quite work yet.
I've got a monkey puzzle that I'm about to hide that I adapted from the Great Hides website. I didn't like the handle looking thing, it looked to fragile and where it connects looks like a problem with getting the key inside.
I know of someone who is making a puzzle-type cache that requires 1 person to plug 10 holes on a large tube with their fingers and a 2nd person to fill the tube with water to float the cache out. Not sure how its put together or how it works that you cant turn the tube upside down to empty the cache out, but cant wait to see it implemented and go find when I get back!
I have done one of those. Its attached to an object, that does not allow the outside container to move, or be turned. And the water supply is about 50 metres away. More holes than fingers, so either 2 people have to plug holes, you have to use something else, like tape, or run like heck to beat the outflow.
Cool. I am planning on doing a difficult cache involving something like that. Get a container, put a maze container in it, and put the log book in the maze container. The n say that if they want to "find" the cache, they will need to sign the log book. Pretty evil, huh? The maze container is explained here:
IT is really evil. I am thinking now of doing one like that. Just be sure to make it easy to find, though, and hopefully a good-sized container as the maze is about 6 in. high, and 4x4 in. wide or so. Unless, you want to make it really evil and put it at the end of a devilish puzzle or something. Heh heh....
I noticed this was an old thread, but I just want to add that I've had one out for about a year and a half. I thought I was putting something out there that no cacher around here had ever seen... until kissguy&frannyfru called me and asked why I copied their cache just 40 miles up the road. D'oh! I didn't know they had one. At least he knew how to solve it when he was FTF.
Let us know in the comments if you know about any other models of monkey rocker. Also check out my guide on the best sex chairs and sex pillows if you want to learn about other kinds of sex furniture.
The differences between the first two: I notice that the F-Slider has an adjustable height to accommodate larger toys. Along with the angle seeming to go more straight up than the sex glider. Can you confirm?
Thank you for the reviews.
I was going to try and make one I had some ideas for improvement I sent away for the plans they were 9.99 us. But they were a no show . I make furniture so making one should not be a problem it was the mechanics i need most. I do think the original is a little boxy though.
Too big to carry like a suit case probably too big for even a large trash bag best thing is keep original box and use it 1 strong person can carry it that box was preformed Styrofoam that helps protect it from damage during shipping
Hi there, i just stumbled upon this website just now while looking in google for Monkey rockers, and i would like to offer the following link to my own Custom made Brushed Aluminium Sex Rocker that i spent 6 months designing and building, and now i have finally completed what i hope is the final prototype ready for production to anyone who wants to buy one.
How this came about is a long story, but i originally bought the plans for a Funky Rocker from the website link below, but after i spent 1 month building it to those specs, i found that it was not working the way i thought it should, and my test pilot (an asian masseuse) compained that the angles of each of the settings we not comfortable, so i decided that some modifications were needed, so i drew up my own plans, and basically built a completely new Rocker, and modified it until my test pilot was happy with it, and i also managed to eliminate most of the dildo angle settings because they never worked properly on the original Rocker anyway.
After building my new Rocker in MDF, i decided to try building it using 3mm thick Aluminium plate, and sanding the surface of each part before bolting it all together, and i ended up with what i believe is the best Sex Rocker out there on the market, and it can be sold in its original brushed Aluminium state, or i can provide it powdercoated in almost whatever color you like, at an additional $200au.
The LoveBotz Glider is seriously hopeless, my wife tried one 2 years ago and there was no way to get the dildo to slide up and down the right way so that when she was sitting upright, it could slide into her pussy naturally, she hated it.
The F-Slider is much much better than the LoveBotz Glider, and the original Monkey Rocker would be the best out of those 3 machines, but all 3 are made from wood, and they are very flimsy and have far too much sideways loose play in the rocker arms, making them unstable, mine sits on the gloor and glides back and forth much better than those 3 do.
My Aluminium Sex Rocker has a default dildo angle of 90 degrees to the seat, and simply goes up and down as you rock, with the length of insertion depending on the length of the dildo used, and by how far forward or backwards you rock it.
I have a dildo angle adjustment plate on the front lower rail that can be used to tilt the dildo about 5 degres forward or 5 degrees back from the default 90 degree angle, as my test pilot claimed that any more than this, the dildo hit the front or back wall of her pussy and made it uncomfortable to ride vigorously.
ALIX SPIEGEL, HOST: It's natural to look for patterns. There's a certain safety in knowing that the man was a murderer because his mother violently abused him. Children who were violently abused don't seem to do that well. That's a pattern. And if there's a pattern, then there's something we can do about it - not violently abuse our children. Problem solved.(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: All rise. Supreme Court of the state of Washington is now in session.SPIEGEL: On November 16, 2017, the Washington state Supreme Court was called to session, as a tall lawyer with a choirboy face named Shon Hopwood sat sweating at the defense table. Behind him was his client, a responsible-looking woman named Tarra Simmons who had graduated near the top of her law school class and was now trying to become a lawyer.The question in front of the court was, would this version of Tarra, the responsible citizen Tarra, last? Or would that Tarra be undone by the other Tarra, the one who had demonstrated a clear pattern of criminal behavior? Criminal-behavior Tarra did have a long history of undermining responsible-citizen Tarra. So which would appear in the future, and could you tell by looking at the patterns in her past?That was the question for the court to decide. But also, in a way, it's a question for all of us listening to decide, who would Tarra be in the future?(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: Shon Hopwood will have 20 minutes for his opening and 10 for response.SPIEGEL: Now, I got to say there were lots of things that were unusual about this case - really, so many things - the curious role that Shon played in the life of Tarra Simmons, how Tarra ended up in front of the Supreme Court in the first place. But for my money, probably the strangest was this little tidbit. Shon Hopwood, the lawyer arguing the case, was an armed bank robber.(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)SHON HOPWOOD: Good morning, and may it please the court. This case presents the court with the core question of how long must we...SPIEGEL: This is INVISIBILIA. I'm Alix Spiegel.HANNA ROSIN, HOST: And I'm Hanna Rosin. INVISIBILIA is a show about all the invisible things that shape human behavior, our beliefs, our emotions, our expectations. And today, we're looking at patterns.SPIEGEL: Because we are always trying to find patterns, quietly but compulsively searching for them. We meet an attractive man, then find out that he cheated on his ex. And instantly the possibility of a pattern haunts us. Would he cheat on us, too? Is that his pattern?We go to the doctor. He asks about the family cancer history. He's looking for a pattern. We hope he doesn't find one in us. Every time we go online, to Amazon, Google, companies are tracking our patterns, using them to guess what we'll do next.ROSIN: So the thing we're trying to figure is, how much does pattern predict in an individual life, in a living, breathing person, like Tarra Simmons, but also in ourselves?SPIEGEL: I tagged along as these Princeton scientists staged a massive pattern-finding competition that harnessed the power of machine learning. It involved eating insane amounts of sugar. So clearly, the conclusions they came to will be revelatory.ROSIN: Stick around.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)SPIEGEL: There's a lot to say about the complicated life of our main character, Tarra Simmons. But I want to begin with her lawyer, Shon Hopwood, because it was Shon's strange path that made Tarra believe that she could break free of her old patterns. You see, Shon's life really didn't conform to the normal pattern. Like Tarra's, it was full of wild detours.HOPWOOD: I don't have a great excuse as to why I did these things. And everybody always wants that because - I don't know - it, like, closes a circle for people. That's not really how it happened.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)SPIEGEL: To the naked eye, it looked like Shon Hopwood was born into a really good pattern. He grew up in the neighborly, low-crime community of David City, Neb...HOPWOOD: A sprawling metropolis of 2,500 people.SPIEGEL: ...To a great Christian family that tried to steer him away from dark forces that might corrupt...HOPWOOD: I can tell you my mom confiscated many Ozzy Osbourne and Motley Crue cassettes.SPIEGEL: ...Which is not to say that Shon's parents oppressively monitored their children. They didn't.HOPWOOD: Me and my brothers would roam the neighborhood. It was a good childhood.SPIEGEL: Fresh air, safe community, loving family - pretty good patterns. But for some reason, in college, Shon started veering off the graph. He wasn't that interested in school, so dropped out and returned to David City to work, spend time with friends and family. And that was all going fine, really nothing out of the ordinary.HOPWOOD: Until my friend called me one day and said, hey, come down to the neighborhood local bar. I want to talk to you about something.SPIEGEL: Shon's friend, Tom (ph), like Shon was born into a middle-class family, but wasn't exactly thriving. He was studying criminal justice at college but felt depressed and so had come up with a novel plan to shake himself out of his rut.HOPWOOD: And he just asked me - he said, what do you think about robbing a bank? And I don't know where the idea came from. And, you know, most people would have said, no, or that's - what are you talking about, or walked away or a million other responses. And my response was, yes, this is a great idea.SPIEGEL: Now, to be clear, it wasn't like Shon didn't have second thoughts. He had several, had them right up to the moment when he walked into the bank dressed as a handyman with a toolbox on his hip.HOPWOOD: I'm wearing coveralls and a hard hat and have a toolbox. And I walk in the bank, and I pull a mask up. And I drop the toolbox on the ground. It makes a huge noise. Everyone turns and looks at me, and I unzip my coveralls, pull out a .22 rifle and yell, everyone get down; this is a robbery.SPIEGEL: After that, Shon recruited a small group of friends and just hit one bank after another. It was all going great until one night, while living it up at the DoubleTree in Omaha, when four guys from the FBI tackled him. He was sentenced to 12 years in prison, which was bad enough.But what really cut was that a bunch of people in his hometown disowned Shon's completely blameless parents because the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, right?HOPWOOD: They have to have some reason for why I did these things because otherwise it just doesn't compute.SPIEGEL: They need some pattern in order to make them feel stable.HOPWOOD: Yeah, to make - to make sense of it all because it didn't make any sense that me and the people that were involved with me had robbed these banks. I mean, one of my codefendants was the son of the town attorney. And so nobody could understand why this happened.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)SPIEGEL: We need to find a pattern. And when it eludes us, we ache for it. Shon was worried that in the eyes of the world, his pattern was now set.But in prison, this kind of random miracle happened. He was working in the prison law library checking out books when a friend asked for help with his case. The guy wanted to try a long-shot petition to the Supreme Court.Shon had never studied law and only had a high school education, but he wanted to be helpful. So he agreed, spent two months working on an argument and then sent it off and basically forgot about it.HOPWOOD: Then one day, I'm walking out to the recreation yard at 6:30. I always went and lifted weights at 6:30 in the morning. And a friend of mine comes running and screaming out of the housing unit. And this being federal prison, my first thought is, what did I say to this guy yesterday that he wants to come fight me at 6:30 in the morning?SPIEGEL: The Supreme Court had accepted his appeal.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)SPIEGEL: That highly unusual lottery ticket win led to other unusual turns in trajectory until one fine day, Shon found himself moving a box of belongings into a small office at Georgetown Law. He'd become a law professor, proof the past was not necessarily prologue.He laid out that lesson in an autobiography called "Law Man" and then embarked on a long uphill battle. He would help other criminals convince the world that the past was not necessarily determinative. It could be peeled away, left behind like a set of clothes that left no lasting mark on the body.That was Shon's belief and probably why he was so open to Tarra Simmons, a small woman with pretty blue eyes who was born into the kind of patterns that no one wants and who had tried over and over to break free of them.TARRA SIMMONS: My parents were both addicts all their lives. My mom, she was a victim of childhood sexual abuse. And ever since she was, like, 15, she lived on her own.SPIEGEL: Tarra Simmons, like her parents, grew up in an environment so dismal and harsh, it would make any judge charged with predicting her future worry. I mean, how could anyone escape that? Abuse, crime, drugs - that was the life of the first Tarra.To give you some sense, the one bright spot in her life was her father, who she says was a crack addict and who never seemed to have a job but was always generous. She says he was the kind of guy who would literally give you his last $10 and still remembers how he once bought her a stuffed monkey.SIMMONS: I mean, there were tough times, too. You know, he would be cooking crack in the kitchen, and there was all kinds of gang members. And so there were situations and places that - where I was abused, but I didn't blame my father for that.SPIEGEL: Tarra was on the streets of her hometown, Bremerton, Wash., by 13, where there was more abuse. She says she was even abducted by a man in Seattle who briefly forced her into prostitution there.SIMMONS: He would put me out on a street and then make me give him the money. And it took about three or four weeks, and then finally one of the men that picked me up, he made me perform oral sex on him. But then he dropped me off at the ferry and told me to run. And I almost think that he was an undercover cop. I really do to this day. Yeah.SPIEGEL: So Tarra was the victim of terrible crimes, but also, at moments, a perpetrator of crime. As a teen, she was arrested for shoplifting, she hung hard with gangs, got involved in physical fights - the kind of stuff that sometimes blossoms into more serious criminal behavior. But, for a while anyway, that's not the path Tarra's life took, really because of one person, Davon.SIMMONS: He was the best baby ever. He's really been the best kid. He has the most gentle soul of anyone you'll ever meet.SPIEGEL: When she was just 15, Tarra gave birth to her first son, Davon. And she says that her little boy made her want to live a better life so that he could live a better life. So Tarra started making grand plans.SIMMONS: I remember getting the little Gerber flyers in the mail saying, you know, put some money away for your child for college. And I think I even signed up for it and would put like $5 a month away for his college because I just knew he was going to college, even though I hadn't graduated yet.SPIEGEL: But she was going to an alternative high school, taking the heaviest course load she could, but working so hard she still got really good grades.SIMMONS: Trying to show him that it didn't matter where we came from, that we could overcome obstacles and still do whatever we wanted.SPIEGEL: After graduating, Tarra found a government program that allowed her to go to college. And within six years, she had a nursing degree and a job in the ER. By 22, she bought her first house, a two-story home on a cul de sac.(SOUNDBITE OF HOME VIDEOS)UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: Hello. Hey.SPIEGEL: If you look at home videos from this time in her life, you see kids circling on bikes playing with each other. This scene feels a million miles away from the first Tarra, from child prostitution and crack cocaine. And if we were to stop the clock here and ask you to predict Tarra's future, I'd bet, in surveying the scene, you would feel that glow of hope that comes from watching a person escape a terrible past and conclude that the story would continue that way. It looked so lovely.(SOUNDBITE OF HOME VIDEO)SIMMONS: I love you.UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: I love you.SIMMONS: I really felt like I was on a good path. My life was going to be good now.SPIEGEL: It was clear sailing?SIMMONS: Yeah, that's what I thought.(SOUNDBITE OF HOME VIDEO)UNIDENTIFIED CHILD: (Laughter).SPIEGEL: And it's true that for a while, Tarra did maintain her new life. She got married and worked as a nurse, took Davon on trips to Disney World. But then came stress, and with stress came old patterns.It began when Tarra started getting into fights with her husband. They eventually separated, so Tarra started dating again. And for fun one night, she went out with a man in town. But the date turned into a nightmare. Tarra says she was raped.SIMMONS: And it was really traumatic for me.SPIEGEL: Tarra says she called a rape line and went to the hospital.SIMMONS: I mean, I was bleeding, and I wanted to be evaluated.SPIEGEL: But the experience activated some old part of her. She was angry, wanted the man to suffer, feel the same pain that she was feeling. So she talked to this kid she knew.SIMMONS: You know, he had a friend that was, like, in a gang. And so they kept telling me, like, get him somewhere, and we'll show him. Anyway, so I called the guy up, and he came over to my house. And they violently assaulted him.SPIEGEL: The teens beat the man with a baseball bat and beer bottles.SIMMONS: And so I was charged with conspiracy to commit assault.SPIEGEL: Tarra was sentenced to eight months in jail. But that was just the beginning of her problems. When she got out, she had another child, Dominic (ph), and briefly re-established stability. But she had trouble getting work as a nurse because she was a felon and to cope, started using meth, doing more and more until finally she was dancing the exact pattern of steps that she'd learned in her childhood, of addiction and lies and eventually crime.Tarra left her family and moved in with a new boyfriend. She says they sold drugs together out of his apartment. Sometimes Davon and Dominic would come over and watch television, sitting quietly as meth heads milled around them.SIMMONS: Yeah it was - it was bad.SPIEGEL: Tarra was eventually arrested and got 2 1/2 years in prison, and she says her time away from her kids took a big toll on them. But looking back, she says, she's not sorry she went to prison.SIMMONS: It's almost a good thing that that happened.SPIEGEL: Because it was during this stint in prison that Tarra decided that this time, she was going to break free for real. She started therapy, was taught how to recognize and interrupt the bad thoughts and behaviors she learned as a kid. She still yearned to be a nurse but knew it was next to impossible. So once she got out, she started searching for a new career. She talked to everyone, constantly asking for ideas until finally she happened on one.SIMMONS: Somebody said, you know, you could be a lawyer. You - there is a guy named Shon Hopwood who, you know, robbed five banks and is a lawyer. And I was like, wow, really? And she said, yeah, he has a book called the "Law Man."(Reading) Chapter 1. A wild storm was building over Oklahoma City, our final destination.I read it all over the course of, like, two days because I was so excited. I couldn't put it down once I started reading it.SPIEGEL: Here was someone like Tarra, a felon incarcerated for the serious crime of armed robbery. And yet he'd found a way to prosper.SIMMONS: He didn't let his past define him, and he didn't let the conviction be the end of his story. That's when I really started to believe that my life could change, too. I thought if he can do it, why can't I? And I will give 100 percent to make it happen.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)SPIEGEL: Tarra decided to model her life on Shon, become a lawyer just like him. She reached out on Facebook, and they became friends. And truly, through law school, Tarra worked insanely hard to prove to everyone that her old patterns were dead and gone. In addition to her schoolwork, she volunteered and networked continuously.SIMMONS: Presenting at judicial conferences, starting the nonprofit Civil Survival. The governor appointed me to two different boards, co-chaired the Statewide Reentry Council, graduated magna cum laude, and I got the Skadden Fellowship.SPIEGEL: But then came the big day. See, before Tarra could take the bar, she needed to appear in front of the Character and Fitness Board for the Washington State Bar, a panel of lawyers who would decide whether Tarra was a safe bet. Tarra was absolutely convinced that she would succeed, that she'd be seen as someone who had finally escaped a terrible history.SIMMONS: I did a Facebook post, and I was like, today is going to be an amazing day. Today is a day about redemption.SPIEGEL: But during the actual hearing, when witnesses came to testify on her behalf, she noticed the committee seemed really skeptical.SIMMONS: How long have they known me? They've only known me two or three years. How can they be so sure?SPIEGEL: After five hours of testimony, the character and fitness committee adjourned to deliberate. Tarra could hear them arguing behind the door.SIMMONS: And the chair of the board came out. She was very gentle in breaking the news to me and said, I'm very sorry.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)SPIEGEL: So what would you do?Would you clear a lawyer who, since adolescence, has had trouble on and off with the law? If Tarra reverted to her old ways and failed a vulnerable client in a high-stakes case, wouldn't the public rightly ask how the profession could let someone with that pattern of behavior become a lawyer? Do you think Tarra will leave her old patterns behind, or will they catch up to her again? What's your prediction?Tarra firmly believed that she wouldn't revert, and Shon agreed. So they decided to appeal. Shon would argue in front of the state Supreme Court that if you see people only as their past patterns, you condemn them to become the patterns you see, that believing too much in patterns was a bad idea - for Tarra, sure, but also for the rest of us.(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #3: The Supreme Court of the state of Washington is now in session.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)ROSIN: INVISIBILIA will be right back with an innovative scientific study on the predictive power of patterns.(SOUNDBITE OF MUSIC)ROSIN: This is INVISIBILIA. I'm Hanna Rosin. When we left off, Tarra Simmons was standing in front of a panel of judges. And their job was to predict her future, to look through her past - where she'd come from and what she'd already done - and see if she would repeat those patterns.Now, as it so happens, two Princeton professors were also obsessing about patterns. They were organizing this insanely grand experiment to see just how good patterns were at predicting an individual life. Alix continues the story.SPIEGEL: Because we live in the age of computers, we live in the age of patterns. Computers are genius at patterns. In the blink of an eye, they can scan more data than you or I could sift in a lifetime. And in that data, they see things we could never see - beautiful things and terrible things and even, we're told, the future.MATTHEW SALGANIK: Yeah, pretty much, with enough data, everything becomes predictable. That idea definitely exists now. So big tech companies like Google and Facebook have tons and tons of data, and they can make a lot of predictions about what you as an individual will do.SPIEGEL: Matthew Salganik is a traditional academic, a professor of sociology at Princeton University. But he's also someone who loves to code - the puzzle of it, the way that lines of simple directions typed into a computer can multiply your ability to understand the world. And even though modern life is full of Wired magazine articles explaining how machine learning is transforming every inch of our lives, to Matt, there's still a lot of potential in computers that hasn't been fully explored.SALGANIK: Yeah, absolutely. It could really change things. It is really changing things, and it will really change things.SPIEGEL: Specifically, Matt thought that it would be interesting to take the techniques and strategies developed in Silicon Valley to predict things in the commercial world and use them to look at the things that he and his colleagues in sociology thought were important, which brings us to that black hole of American attention that relentlessly sucks our time without pause or pity, Netflix.(SOUNDBITE OF NETFLIX INTRO SOUND EFFECT)SPIEGEL: In 2006, the company Netflix did something really interesting. It staged this massive competition where it made tons of its customer data available to anyone interested in building a computer model that improved its you-might-also-like predictions, then declared that the best model would win a lot of money.(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #4: What's so special about Napoleon Dynamite? For AT&T Labs researchers in the race for the Netflix prize, that was a million-dollar math problem.SPIEGEL: The competition attracted thousands of teams from all over the world, and it totally worked out for Netflix. Predictions improved, and since that time, small children have been left to fend for themselves while t
