    If youre in America trying to make this, use a 2x8 (1.5x7.25 actual) for the bottom board or it will fall over...You also need the plywood to be about 7.5 inches.

      I added a set of trucks to one of the ends so i could easily move it from my garage to the street. I also made the rail about 2 feet longer, for more grinding space. The rail extends on each side, about 1 foot over the wood base. Super simple and effective!

  • @danp2941
    @danp2941 Před 6 lety +2

    Nice built fellers.
    Just one tip .. have the plywood to cover the sides be part of the support / make it a tad longer so the rail sits on it. Cut an angle to it. You can do that with almost any circular saw. If you buy a twice as wide plywood and you just need to do that cut once. Takes just 5 minutes more of your time but the rail will not get loose and you have more fun with it.
    If you want to minimise weight .. don't use a support block that goes all the way through but take 3-4 smaller pieces only.

    • @streetflowskateboarding8367
      @streetflowskateboarding8367  Před 6 lety +2

      I'm not exactly sure if you need the sides but i think that it would definitly help because it gives it a bigger base as well as more weight to keep the rail stable. It also keeps the steel pipe more stable. It would probably be just ok but i would add the sides if you could.
      Ply wood is really expensive so thats probably where you coming from.
      Oh and sorry for late response.

    • @ravingryan7229
      @ravingryan7229 Před 6 lety +1

      No problem. I also just have three more questions.
      1. Can I just make the rail however long I want (4ft) with the materials listed?
      2. I couldn't find the wood needed in pine, but would it still work anyways?
      3. I found a pretty cheap metal pipe, but it's aluminum. Would it be strong enough or would it flex over a short period of time?

    • @streetflowskateboarding8367
      @streetflowskateboarding8367  Před 6 lety

      Yeah you can make the rail what ever length you want and the wood would probably be fine whatever it is aslong as it's not really week or really hard. But the aluminim pipe would probably dent and bend quite ealily. So you should probaby get steel pipe if you want it to hold up. But it's your choice i guess.

    • @Lazy_Prophet

      @@ravingryan7229 this is late but ....yes you absolutely need the side peices of wood(2" × 6" I think they were), they hold it stable, actually, you can even make one with just those 2 side pieces.
      You can make it as long as the wood comes, which is 8' & 10'.

      The small pine struts are 94 inches by 3.5 inches wide and 1.4 inches high.
      The big pine strut is 94 inches long by 6.7 inches wide and 1.4 inches high.
      The metal tube is 94 inches long with a diametre of 2.3 inches.
      The ply on the side is 94 inches long by mabey around 11 inches by 0.4 inches thick.

      You drill holes in the top and botom of the pipe. The top one is so that the screws can go in so it has to be bigger than the head of the screw and the bottom one is where you drill it in. That one should be a bit smaller than the screw head so that it doesnt go straight through and not hold the pipe in place.

      @@streetflowskateboarding8367 Thank you for your reply. This is SammSlamm's dad. The drill bit left a tiny ridge-burr around the screw holes. I will grind those down with a dremmel and have Sam sand it. If it doesn't fix it, we can get some more tubing. Do you recommend a bit/screw head size? We used some deck screws we had and the smallest bit that would accommodate them.

      SammSlamm I’m not sure. I just used a normal sized screw and the smallest drill bit for that too and had no problems. It might just be the ridge around it like you said.
