and estimated price

Answer 1

Go to Home Depot or the lumberyard and get some strips of formica, the hard plastic conter tops.  They probably wont cost too much, but you might beable to get some scraps for free.  just mount the formica on some 2x4s to lift it off the ground.  s***w everything together and you've got a box.

Answer 2

Ok first of all there are thousands of different kind of rails you can make so i will only say the 2 most common: flat rail and single barrel rail. I have a hill in my backyard with a carpet (i can ski down it without any snow just water) and i have about 7 different rails in my shed. I made the flat and single barrel rail myself. To make a flat rail here is the procedure:

1. Go to homedepot and buy a long square, metal rail

2. Also buy 2 little metal poles and a flat piece of metal

3. Torch the metal poles on the bottom of your rail and torch that to the flat metal

4. Take a hose and spay water on it for about 10 minutes

5. now you have a flat rail!

to make a single barrel rail follow this procedure:

1. go to homedepot and buy a long, hollow, metal pole

2. repeat steps 2-5 above

Hope this helps you! Happy grinding, Skiing_cr4zy ^_^
