he aint heavy, hes my box....

sheet metal top with coping screwed in and countersunk....

our second project

short but solid

Friday, November 14, 2008

finally after 3 weeks of planning, the boxes were finally built today, costing a grand total of around 250 to repair 2 boxes.....

  1. wood arrived
  2. drill bit too big or got bent
  3. electric screwdriver not working
  4. cant drill into coping until we found the right drill bit
  5. need to get larger drill bit to countersink the holes
  6. blisters from manually screwing the screws in
  7. mounting the sheet metal on the new box
  8. mounting the coping on the boxes
  9. waxing the shit out of the boxes
  10. an immense sense of satisfaction
it sucks now that the box has become the skate clubs, which boy pointed out... hopefully they take good care of it and it will last for real long....

also it sucked to that so many ppl from the park came to sp to skate, around 20 odd of them were there... time to start chasing ppl away.....

fuck its finally done!! photos soon....
