I need a few 2x4s this weekend as well. I wonder if Lenco or Thruway Hardwoods would be any cheaper? I know Valu home centers is crazy expensive. Try Metal supermarket for the angle iron ---

Lowes or some local lumber yard. HD lumber can be quite shitty. ---

shop it around and buy whatever is cheap. For a skate ledge, I wouldn’t be too worried about “shitty lumber”. As long as it doesn’t crumble under you, you’re all good. ---
