DIY Croquet set from water bottles

You can make your croquet set out of plastic water bottles and dowel rods. Brilliant. Read the how-to at the DIY Network episode DIK-201. Surely this must make for the most lightweight croquet set ever. (other than mini croquet sets of course)

Very clever. I had to link to see what they were using as balls. I don't think plastic water bottles would last very long with traditional croquet balls. Their solution? Tennis balls! Wow! You can really make those things FLY! You could play croquet on the entirety of a football field with tennis balls!

I couldn't find the tutorial...I can see sort of how they were made here but want to see the side with the mouth of the bottle?
Do you have it anywhere else??
