I still need to get it up to 10 inches, but the box is going to have the dimensions of 2'x8'x10" as of right now it's 4 3/4" high (the 2x4's and the 3/4' ply wood over the top)

as you can see I need angle iron and a piece of Masonite. I'm thinking masonite is like what, 1/4'? )correct me if I'm wrong please) and since it comes in 4x8 sheets, I could cut it into a piece that's 20"x8' and put that in the middle, then have 2 inches on each side, get some angle iron that's 2 inches and put that on each side(if angle iron is 1/4 inch thick like the masonite, if it's say 1/2 inch thick, then I'll cut TWO sheets of 20"x8' masonite and double them up. This way I have angle iron that sits flush with my box.

I still need to figure out the best way to hold it up to 10" while it's still stable, yet not too heavy. I was thinking of just cutting some 2x4's into like 9 1/2" pieces, then sticking them under the ramp with the other 2x4s, maybe one every 2 feet (knowing me and my desire for stability it will be between each rung already there) and then just getting another two pieces of 2x4 that's 8' and just running it along the bottom and then a 20 inch piece of wood to hold those two the right distance apart.

anyways, this is my friend Bradley and I's project (He doesn't skate, we were just bored and tore up something with wood and decided to use it, so this wood is all used, all I'm going to have to buy is Masonite, angle iron and maybe 3 2"x4"x8' (one extra for other uses)) and my dad helped us out a bit so if you look at the first picture we traced our hands and put our names, hahaha

barefoot in november? i hate you.

I'm actually in my underwear, hahahahaha, I had just gotten up, decided to take those and post them up, it was only 12, I had just gotten up, do you expect me to put pants on right away? I'm still not wearing any

In my opinion its a little bit too low and I would add bars to the sides but other than that it's pretty sick, looks fun to skate already.

if you could read before posting and looking like an idiot... you would have read that its not done, I even said that in the TITLE, its GOING to be taller and it WILL have railing

Pretty sweet dude. I am building one now too for snowskating. It will be 8' long, 8" high, and 2' wide, almost the same as your's. I'm also making a 18" high kicker, and a metal gring rail out of box steel.

thats the most stable way to build the base. good luck.

I really need to get up and build myself something similar to this.
One day...

masonite???

Does your area not get a lot of rain? or are you going to keep it inside? Masonite will become warped if left in the rain

southern California, it never rains =] plus I would store it under an awning type thing

sick stuff, robby.

i really want to build a box but i live in a apartment it would be hell trying to take it out everyday
so far yours is looking pretty good
u should have a boxtage when its done and post it up =)

I plan on it =]

sweet robby and so lucky it doesnt rain, my halfpipe got thrashed, the masonite is all ****ed up now

dude you always got no cloths on... >.<
anyways box is looking good, but yea def get it higher... and all the support in the middle isnt really needed, just a lot of extra weight...

hmm i remember my first box...
first ollie onto it, my trucks rammed the front of plywood, the plywood split about 6 inches up, and i did a horrible faceplant, sliding about 3 feet or so... :(

anyways if your planing on moving it around, rig it up so it has a handle and wheels...

Its looking good :DDD
i need to build a box D

Nice, how much cash have you put into it?

Glad to see you're gunna start grinding

Anyways the box my skateshop has is pretty cool, if I get the chance, I'll take some pictures of it for you to give you some ideas.

Yeah same here. I've been wanting to build something with my friend for a while now. But we don't want to spend any money on the thing at all. Us silly jew kids.

thats pretty nice, im trying to build one soon:)

too low but if you just want a chill box perfect lol

Make a box like a triangel and then you have a curbe.
Most of the building is kind of easy , but you need to open your pocket ,because the tree is very expensive.:)
