Backyard Trials-ish

That Stuff is awesome!
I built some stuff about a year ago-and it is now starting to get old,
and I have pretty much broken everything. So I need to start thinking
about building some new things! Thanks for the ideas!

You are giving me ideas. One point, it looks like the rear of your steps
are held on by 2 screws . Looks like it will break, maybe put blocks
under there.
I have done a lot of deck building. The coolest thing I discovered
is to buy "Deck mate " brand "square drive " screws from Home Depot.
The head on these looks like a tougher philips. It requires a special
bit to drive them in, but they give you a free one in the box, and they
seem never to break. These screws are great because the head never
strips. With a drill driver, they make putting stuff together and
taking it apart fast and easy.
I want to build something now !🙂

Looks more like a front yard to me. 🙂

(like the 29er only larger) would be awesome.

Those look great.

I really want to build something like that.

EDIT: I really like your neighbor's color choices.

that looks really nice. THe only schanges i would make is to have it 3
stair and the when you put one platform on you have a 3 stair a another
platform for somewhere else. but when you stack 2 platforms on it would
make it 4 stair.

Wow! You certainly are good with your hands! Very impressive. If I were
to try building that, I would have splintery wood everywhere.

ok, lets not change the subject completely, but star drive bits are
amazing. (IE TORX) i built a HUGE deck with star drive screws and used
1 bit for the entire project. I was impressed.

those square bit ones are ok. if you have a newish bit and are using
wood. but i install alumminum sunrooms and they used to give us those
and if you didn't have a fresh bit then it would stip a lot. now we use
hex drive screws.
sorry for getting off topic

But it sounds like the same thing. The point is to avoid the total pain
of having the head strip.🙁 Then it's out with the vise grips, or the
hammer and cold chisel. Putting stuff together with superior screws is
the way to go. I would recommend my Dewalt cordless impact driver. It
can install a 4" screw in seconds without drilling a hole first. Light
weight mag case. Rare earth magnets.
Costs as much as a good uni though. The 60 $ corded Dewalt drill
driver is the way to go unless you really do a lot of this stuff.🙂
Anyway, great job!🙂

Man that is some pretty impressive stuff there.

And to further threadjack the topic while backing up Skrobos claim that
Torx are the way to go, last summer I put on 6 pallats of nova brick on
our house, one bit 😄 it was awsome it's like having a splined hub vs a
square taper, which one is better?

nobody knows what happened to that boy after that.-Nutcracker

i know. he was kidnapped by aliens, learnt their ways, stole the
biggest ship he could, travelled back in time by mistake and crashed
the plane on the earth surface. he was the one who killed the
dinosaurs. -ivan
