that's a dumb ass paln because it takes way too long and it looks like shit. if you want a better plan... liten to this..

first get two 2 by 4's that are about 2 feet long. these will be your stands or your base.

then cut 4 blocks of 2 by 4s. these will be the legs of the rail. nail them together and then nail them to your bases.

now get a 10 foot long 2 by 4 and nail it on the legs. (make sure the wider part is facing up. **it makes it easier to grind.**)

now buy a 4 inch wide piece of sheet metal that is 10 feet long. drill small holes at the begining, middle, and the end. now screw the sheet meatl onto it.

this is going to be an inexpensive rail that will allow gnarly grinds.

*the other plan sucks!**

Yeah cause if you dont know a welder then it almost comes out to be the same price because welders are as expensive if not more as plumers, electricians, mecanics, ect....

So the rail might end up costing a little less than one from ccs or a mojo rail. So in the end its better to buy it because the rail will be nicely wax and you will be able to ajust it so that you can make it higher as you get better.
