 Yo, what's up guys, welcome back to another video, welcome back to another episode of DIY Diaries, a lovely sunny day in South West Sydney this afternoon. I've got all these bricks here, I've got all these locally sourced bricks. If you know me personally, you'll know why it's funny that these are locally sourced bricks. Yeah, but I'm going to make this ledge today so I'm going to prep this spot right here, sweep it out and then stick all the bricks together and then chuck the angle iron on. That's what I'll be doing right now. We've actually had some rails and stuff donated by Vincent, check them out. We've got this flat bench thing here, sick, it's a bit tall though and we've got like a mini little rail over here, Ethan's here today too and we've got this rail over there as well. Shout's out to everyone that's watched the episode so far, getting really good views on these videos so yeah, hopefully you guys are keen for more. Alright guys, so you can see this is a rough idea of what I'm going to build right now. I'm going to cut the angle iron down, it's only coming through a meter length so I'll cut this up first, start gluing the bricks together and then I'll wear the coping iron and we should be able to be ready to be skated by tomorrow. Alright guys, we've got the angle all cut to size. I actually took a bit of, I took a spark into my mouth so if you guys are working with power tools, make sure you use the correct personal protection equipment. I had glasses, I just didn't have a mask but I didn't think I would cop a hot spark into my mouth so yeah. Just got the ledge assembled, got a couple of these cement plastic fence thingies, just holding it all together, holding the coping down, going to leave it to dry overnight and it should be ready to skate tomorrow I think, should be pretty solid. Actually didn't use too many thingos or liquid nails, I used 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So I used 5 on a ledge, there's 20 cinder blocks in this ledge and it's about 190 centimetres so just under 2 metres. I still got some leftover, got another 6 to use for another project as usual. I actually picked up this plastic parking curb a couple of nights ago and I brought it here, I think I might glue it to the ground, I don't know what do you guys think. So this is it right here, I just got to pull those bolts out but the underside is like, it's like hollow so maybe I could like cement it first and then glue it down or something just so it doesn't move around. Like I said guys, shout out to everyone that's watched the first and second DIY diaries episodes, really grateful for all the support. So as you can see, this lab's really starting to take shape now. We've got this ledge here, we're going to have that ledge down there sorted by tomorrow, that raised parking curb, that rail over there, that little rail, we've got the manual pad and we've got this little bench thing that can be moved around. Alright guys, I'm out here with Daniel, we're in the garage today. We're going to fab up a rail, so we're about to head down, dig out some scrap and then throw together this rail, so yeah. Just a look. Oh these ones? Is there another one? That would work perfectly. I reckon because it's got holes screwed into it already. There might be some more over there, we're going to look. Yeah, how long is that? 3.1 meters. Damn. Alright, this will be enough. Sick. So we've got these bits of steel here. They've got the feet on the end of them, so we're going to cut, I think we're going to cut it up and use these as the legs because it's going to be dinobolded into the ground anyway. And then we'll have enough length out of this to build the rail. As you guys can see now, there's two bits of scrap metal and then by the end of it, it's going to be a rail. What does that do? It's a steel brush, just to clean. Yeah, it cleans the welds up a bit. We've got this rail together now. If you guys are wondering about the process, we found a bit of steel, a bit of scrap steel. It already had these base plates on it. We cut it up, sized out how tall we wanted the legs to be and sized out how long we wanted it to be. And then Daniel tack welded it together and then he welded it together, so it's like solid as. Take it out in the sun. Yeah. You guys can see this thing in the sunlight. It's pretty solid. Not bad for what? How long do you reckon that was? 40 minutes? 50 minutes an hour? Yeah. Well, half an hour with us mucking around. Yeah. I'm going to learn a bunch of tricks on this. Yeah. Very, very appreciative. We've got one of the cuts off, one of the legs that we had to cut. Daniel's given this to me as coping for the quarter pipe that I'm going to build. Probably the next episode. Hopefully you'll have to stay tuned, but yeah. So we've got our coping for our quarter pipe here. We're going to make a quick little pole jam as well, guys. We've got a bit of scrap I've found at the DIY here. So we're going to hopefully cut the angle a bit and then weld it down to this plate. And then this plate's already got holes so we can bolt it into the cement. And yeah, happy days. That's two features. That's three, actually. The ledge, the rail and the pole jam in one episode. So everyone's got to be cheering, I reckon. Pumping out content. Yeah. Pretty much got our rails sorted out. Cut, welded, shut. We've got the pole jam sorted out to pole jam 2.0 since the first one didn't last very long. All right, guys. We just got the rails sorted out. We just got the pole jam sorted out. So all that's left is pretty much chuck a layer of paint on the pole and on the rail, sorry, and on the pole jam. And then bolt them into the ground. So yeah, big shout out to Daniel for putting in the work today. Couldn't be possible without you. So thank you. Also, if you guys have any questions wondering how we produced this rail, just drop a comment below and I'll respond. And I'll try to give you the best rundown of how we did this. It's fairly simple. We just got a bit of scrap metal. Daniel cut it up. We sized everything out and then he watered it together. So there's not too much there. But yeah, if you guys want to know anything, just drop a comment below and I'll try to answer it the best I can. So pretty much I went down super cheap. Bought a couple kins of black export. I got some red too for the pole jam, so it'll match the curb. But I'm going to paint this rail up black today and then we're going to install it. Got a whole gang of fools out here today. That ledge is good to go. I'm going to chuck this rail in today. It should be a good day. Shouts out to Eugene at Visionary Skate on Instagram. He just donated 30 bucks, so $30 to go into this lab. I'm going to save this, put this with the rest of the money. All of you guys donated and that should buy a fair amount of bags of cement for this quarter pipe next episode, so you'll have to stay tuned for that one. Alright guys, I got this rail painted up. It's just chilling, drying in the shade. Probably should have put it in the sun, but I didn't want to be visible to the road that I was painting because it only takes one person to ring the police and complain that someone's spray painting and then the police come and shut this spot down. So yeah, I'm going to let this rail dry in the shade for a little while and then wait for Steven to get here, then chuck it in. Look how good this rail turned out, guys. You couldn't even tell this is the same rail as earlier in the video. It looks completely different. How good is that black finish on it? It looks like brand new. Doing this legit, Steven's going to grab a tape measure and we're going to measure out the distance between that raised curb and the ledge so we can put the rail smack bang in the center. That's the halfway point. Okay. Yeah. So bring it back, what? How much does that need to come back? A foot? Literally, oh, literally 10mm it looks like. Oh, just off the end, you mean? Yeah. That's almost right on there, about an inch. Yeah. So we've got the lining up with the tile. We've got a dead center now between the curb and the ledge and this space here, so now the process begins. Got to figure out where to put this pole jam. It's got to be in a spot where you can kind of hit it after you do a line or yeah, so decisions, decisions. All right, guys. This is the next day. My camera battery died. Actually, and my phone was like on 2%, so I couldn't film anything more yesterday. Pretty much, we've got the rail chucked in. We've got the pole jam chucked in. Check it out. Looking schmick. Good colorway with the tiles, matches the tiles, the black. And we've got the pole jam over here, painted up all red. This thing is so sick, like you can hit it with both your front and back trucks. This place is like a mini park now, guys. It's like a mini plaza, to be honest. A lot of people from around the world have been asking me where this is actually, so thank you for all the support. Cheers to everyone watching the videos. I did notice one thing about these DIY diaries. A lot of you guys aren't subscribed. There's like 70% of you guys that are watching that aren't subscribed to my channel. So if you guys want to help me out, hit that subscribe button. It doesn't cost you anything. It's free. I mean, that's a big chunk of people. 70% of people aren't subscribed. So if you're watching this video right now, make sure you subscribe. Got Leon and Marshall out here today. I'm going to get a few clips to you guys. Enjoy the park. This side's all sick. And then we've got a flat ground here. People skate flat ground here. We've got this plaza section. And then this section here, we've just got the manual pad. So I might end up chucking a few more things in here. What do you guys reckon we should put on this side of the slab? I mean, there's plenty of space, as you can see. And then you've got the manual pad right here. So I don't know what to put. Originally the pole jam was there, but someone come and broke it. So we made a better version of it and bolted it into the ground. That shouldn't happen again. But yeah, let me know in the comments what you think we should build in this little spot right here behind me. Alright guys, this video is a lot longer than my usual videos. So if you've made it this far, thank you so much. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. If yous are new here, be sure to hit that subscribe button.

You can see what I post on my story. I'm usually down at the slab pretty much every second day almost. So yeah, also big shouts out to Daniel for fabricating the rail and big shouts out to Steven for installing the rails. Thank you guys so much. I'm very grateful to have you guys help out. But yeah, hope to see all you guys in the next video.
