View Full Version : Home made skate stuff
mr. awesome 06-23-2008, 11:59 PM so today my brother was cleaning out his garage,
and we made a 6 or 7 foot box all from some old blinds,
some old bed boards,
and some random pieces of wood and metal :]
its pretty tight.
its only like 6 inches tall but im gonna just raise it with little 2x4s

found wood pallet+wood sheet+cheap rail=nice manny pad and rail combo!
Enjoi2 06-24-2008, 10:36 AM ^ same here wood manual pads ,, and I also get stop sign poles and put them on wood then nail it through the holes, then youve got a nice rail.
ISkateZero 06-24-2008, 10:52 AM A nice box my dad built. He already had the plywood from my neighbor.
MysterySk8er3 06-24-2008, 10:53 AM I've made a very small box and also made a rail for it. I want to make a regualar size box though during the sumer.

building squares is creative
krookedskater 06-24-2008, 11:03 AM oh also I make my hippie jumps of plastic piping an old cooler and a clorox bottle,
and I built a box out of an old crappy flyboxlike ramp.
Elemental106 06-24-2008, 11:13 AM hmm I made a manny pad once but I had to throw it out because it would take up too much space.
Used wood and those wooden rack things that warehouses and stuff have to make it.
street skater 06-24-2008, 11:17 AM Me and dad made a little manny pad, 2 rails and a ramp. Manny pad & ramp are gone though now :( still got my rails though :D
fallenNJzero 06-24-2008, 12:49 PM ive made kickers, using a bathtub and plywood and a fan. ive made a rail by waxing up my dads laddar like 100 times then placing it on some 2x4s
jayadams 06-24-2008, 02:13 PM prit gluestick as bearing cleaner.
Old door taken off and used as manny pad.
That's all for now. I've thought of many small things... My bed is made out of cambered planks of wood, 7 ply canadian maple! The flex ad shape of the wood is perfect for making a longboard. My bed has enoug wood for 7 longboards... How great is that!

Skaterbabe15 06-25-2008, 12:04 AM We have a ****load of wood at my farm as well as fibre glass, sooo we just made a fun box and a ramp out of it.
we mainly use it for snowboarding in our front yard, but its able to be used for skateboarding.
just haven't brought it out of the farm. lol.

Shadowskater 06-25-2008, 12:31 AM I made these out of a soggy piece of toast and a paperclip.
Ok, MacGyver.
mr. awesome 06-25-2008, 12:39 AM so when i was making that little box i was wanting to make it into like, a curved box. just bend the metal in the middle and then put plywood around it. you know what im sayin?
but i went for the plain og. box cause i didnt wanna risk making a crappy box.
but next time i find some scrap metal and wood im gonna go for that :]
has anyone skated those before?
