So, I finally get around to shopping for some ramps, get a good list going on, and right before I go to order my mom brings up the fact that Canada Post just went on strike. No mail service. Now I'll be ramp-less for god knows how long. I'm contemplating going down to Wal-Mart and buying a few TD ramps, or maybe try to put my shop skills to the test and build some. Any suggestions?

It really depends on what obstacles you lack. I really love seshing household items like DVD cases, tissue boxes, books, the side of my laptop...

Been rockin' the side of the laptop for a while now, haha. All I have to work with is household items, so I'd like something that's actually made for fingerboarding, rather than spice racks and movie cases. More specifically, I'd like a bank/stairset with a rail (which is what first made me think of TD ramps as an option) and a box of some sort.

Dude its quite easy building stuff with cardboard, but no offence isnt the Canadian Postal Service like one of the worst in the world?

MAKE STUFF!

Go buy some wood reallly cheap from a hardware store or something, get some like 1cm ply, cut like 25x40, 25x 38, 25x32, 25x30cm pieces, stick them on top of each other, you have a sick double stairset. Make a hubba out of the same wood, sand the edge really smooth so it grinds like a rail. Sorted. Also you can make a box out of that wood. I dunno what prices are like in the US/canada but I imagine they're a LOT cheaper than the UK. I mean, canada is full of trees!

So, yea, buy wood for I imagine no more than 10-20 dollars, build stuff (all you'd need is a hand saw, sandpaper, and some glue), and enjoy it!

Also, I'm going to be making a tutorial tomorrow on how to make a decent cardboard quarter as loads of people requested it, so, yea, check unite/my youtube channel and look out for that. Cardboard ramps are really fun too

@Skullwood: Hahaha, yeah, Canada Post is shit. I've gotten USPS packages faster than packages shipped from Canada.

@Kerry: Thanks, man. I'm definitely gonna hit up the store today and get some wood. I wish I was really good at building shit though, cause I know I'll put time and money into building whatever, then when it's done I'll be like: "Damn, this looked better in my head..."

Make stuff! and you dont even have to buy wood, make a quater out of a cerial box or summit :L

haha , now thats IRONY!

You can quite easily make a metal rail for this type of stairset too. Drill a couple of holes in the middle of the stairs, one at the the top and one at the bottom, then get a piece of metal (round or square) and bend it into the desired shape.

make a quarter out of cardboard and get a coathanger for coping
