 I'm at Home Depot right now guys about to pop in, grab some wood, grab a drop saw, table saw thing so I can cut some wood straight and yeah I'm going to try to build this grind ledge box today. So this is the 2x4 I need right here but I need a Home Depot blog to come and cut this down and grab me some more axe. Anybody that knows you personally knows I suck at math and the cut list is like you need x amount of 2x4s and they need to be this length so it's like trying to add up the lengths to see how many 2x4s you need to buy. I'm probably going to buy more than less because I really don't want to end up getting halfway through the build then I have like no 2x4 less so I'm probably going to get more. This kind of looks like element logo. All right so we got the 2x4s down we just got to go get some plywood right now for the box. So this is the bulk of what we need right now I just got to get a like a drop saw like a proper saw because I don't think I'm going to be able to cut it currently with a circular saw so that's where we're off to right now. So I got to get one of these bad boys but I don't know if it comes with the blade or not. Oh no it comes with a blade look general purpose teenage there you go. As you guys can see it's 1,000 feet use the right as you guys can see I got all the wood loaded up I was at home depot for longer than I wanted to get stuck in there it's like a maze and then yeah I'm just hoping once this ledge is built it'll fit my car because I found a really nice car park that's like in the shade this smooth ground no one's there so I want to go skate it there but I'm just hoping it fits my car. Basically I have everything I need to throw this box together I have all the tools that I need especially the saw it's going to make a massive difference making sure my cuts are like completely correct and then I have my drill and my drill bits and stuff so I'm just going to get into it it's pretty simple I think I've just got to cut up one of the 2x4s into a foot and nine inches. So to frame the bottom we've got to use the two eight foot lengths on the sides and then for the front and back in the middle we've got to cut up a 2x4 into one foot and nine inch lengths to fit in the middle there so that's what I'm going to do right now. So I've got the bottom front middle and back I just got to get a couple of the eight foot lengths and then frame the bottom screw it in and then get started on the top. Look at it do it over the hole if you're doing it over the wall then that's straight does that make sense? It's going to go to the way it just went yeah but you have to find where then the thing is is then just keep going straight. I can't do it I can do it all right. So I've got the bottom framed up here right now I'm about to do the top I'm not going to film it because you're pretty much seeing what I did with the bottom only difference is there's going to be more rows of support on the inside of the top here because that's where you're going to be grinding and landing on and stuff so yeah. So we've got the bottom part of the frame done we've got the top part of the frame done we just got to do the legs in between so I've got to cut up that last bit of 2x4 there make the legs up and then bolt it all together. Move on top so wish me luck. What about the other side? Just here so I got the frame all done that was a nightmare now we just got to screw down the top piece of ply and the ply on the side and I might do the angle iron in the morning I think because we're out of daylight right now guys but yeah this is a pain in the ass not gonna lie. Everybody's gonna know I'm an oil haul porter. Second day on this job pretty much the first day you've seen I got the frame together screwed down the top piece of ply second day I'm going to get the ply that runs along the side all screwed in get the coping the angle iron screwed on and then I'm going to paint it so that's what needs to happen right now. Alright that's the box assembled screwed down whatever screws that go into the angle iron that go into the wood need to be countersunk so you need to use a bigger drill bit just to countersink them in. I've probably demolished about 75% of this drill bit kit by DeWalt like these are all snapped all the ends are like round I just yeah this this trade isn't for me shouts out to all the chipies out there I cannot do this my my hands hurt my pretty little hands hurt. Only thing left to do right now just to get this thing painted I've bought some some cheap primer interior exterior latex primer should work pretty well on top of the plywood gives it a type of finish probably make it a bit more slippery too so I'm gonna do that right now gonna paint this thing up right now if I haven't said right now as many times as I needed to in this sentence. The box doesn't fit in the car so I'm just gonna have to skate in the driveway but it's a little bit sticky so I've got to hit it with a waxer then I'm going to boxy it to try to open up those pores so I can get the wax in there so yeah. I found these little rigid caster wheels so you can like tip the the ledge up and then roll it around makes it way easier to move so yeah they're not bad. I've seen people use like skateboard trucks and wheels but I didn't really want to use a spare set of trucks so I slapped these bad boys on does the job. Not too bad apart from it being sticky at first but just had to wax the guts out of it and then burn it a bit. I don't know if the burning works but I mean I don't know if the burning was that effective but it works pretty well so I'm quite happy with this build. So there's an actual website called DIYskate.com. I'm going to leave the link to the website in the description below. They've got a ton of free plans from like ledgers, kicker rams, wedge rams even half pipe so make sure you go and check it out. So I pretty much built this ledge to the spec of the plans that I got off the DIYskate.com website but you can make it shorter. In hindsight I should have made it like six foot so then I could fit it in my car so pretty much this is just going to sit in the driveway and it's going to be a driveway obstacle which is all right but I feel like I can't use it to its full capability if that makes sense but yeah hopefully you guys enjoyed this video. Got some pretty cool news coming up. A local skateboarder here sent me a DM to a DIY spot that's not too far from here and it looks very promising so I want to go check that out later this week so fingers crossed that it is a good spot and I can build out there and yeah keen to get back into skating since my ankle feels a bit better now but yeah if you enjoyed this video leave a thumbs up if it's your first time on my channel here go and check out the rest of my DIY videos and my other videos in general. Shouts out to everyone subscribed right now and uh yeah make sure you follow Evening Mob on Instagram we're going to have a drop later this week you don't want to miss out we've got some sick tote bags and some sick t-shirts ready to drop guys so yeah follow me on Instagram at enuckism and thanks for watching the video and I will catch all of you guys in the next one. Cheers for watching.
