i was thinking of trying to make one using those plans too. i showed the plans to my friends dad-hes a carpenter and he said the biggest problem is that the top is wider than the bottom-the best thing would be to change it a little bit so that the bottom is wider so that wherever you place your hands the mushroom wont tip.

the base supports the top- there are mushrooms that look like cylinders with pads on top- and others that look like a thin pipe with a mushroom top-but they have a crossed shaped foundation that extends beyond the top-if it didnt it would tip over if your hands werent placed perfectly on center.

Most gymnastics mushrooms on the market have a circular base that is as wide or more than the top.

This is the kind I found on CL for a deal.

See most have a slightly bigger base than a top. It's not neccessary though if the mushroom are not as tall.

a simple solution would be to bolt (somehow secure) it to a big flat square bit of wood to act as a base/floor
