I would try a real lumber mill or something that specializes in lumber, like 84 lumber, they can usually have scraps or cheaper prices.
thank you sir for the input, im excited to BUILD
Those are such small amounts, you won’t save much at the lumber yards, although you will get better stuff.
X…
Lenco lumber is usually cheaper than the big box stores also.
i bet he’s building some sort of bird house…
or a ramp.
this birdhouse?
nothing wrong with home depot lumber for a ramp.
you know the tonawanda castle on delaware st, has a bunch of 1/4 pipes/ half pipes behind it, i’ll ask the owner what he plans on doing with them theyve been back there forever
↑ Ewww. let us know.
how’s the ramp coming along?
whattttt no way?!?!
i got the plywood from Valu, and i balanced it on my skateboard and brought it back to my house, only 2 blocks, lol not too SHABBY

That is flakeboard not plywood…
If you’re going to leave it outside you’re going to need to cover it or else it basically melts.
osb is basically chunks glued & pressed
Yep. OSB sucks for any skateable surface because it’s kind of soft and the small wheels will eventually poke holes. If the OSB gets wet it’s even worse. When we were first building ramps we’d use OSB scrap and they’d never really last
Also, as a tip for the angle iron: Drill counter sink holes if you’re screwing it down. If you don’t want to deal with drilling holes you can just glue it down using construction adhesive, but I’m not sure how well it’ll work with OSB.
Looks good so far though. How tall? We should have a little sesh when you’re done
yeah i would laquer it, would make grinding very slippery easy and water proof it
i will try to talk to the guy with the half pipes tomorrow
Cover the OSB with some 1/4" ply
