  1. I'm thinking of building a trials course. I now have 6 pallets, but I
    want to diversify it a bit. I want to make a grinding rail. I'm
    thinking of buying a scaffolding pole, drilling a hole at one end of it
    and just bolting it to one of the pallets. Then I could use it for
    grinding. I could adjust the angle by putting extra pallets under the
    main one. I could also use it as a skinny if put something under the
    other end.

    Do you think this will work? Any tips?

  3. Hmm, I think I'll just ask them to weld me one like 'this'
    (http://tinyurl.com/yygdpx) at a local workshop. Does anyone have any
    idea how much it would cost?

    somtimes if a welding shop has a co-op student you can get it for free
    (or dirt cheap) or you should try geting a welding class at a school to
    build you one.

  10. Could I just build something out of 2x4s and wax it? Or do I need to put
    sheetmetal on it?

  12. uhh
    make a box out of 2x4s and cover w/ plywood, then put angle iron on the
    sides
    GRINDBOX!
    much safer than a rail too!
