my first rail i built was a 8 foot pvc 2 years ago. I basicly NAILED a board to the bottom, and put some stands on. That was my first rail though, ive improved my building : )

I built a 10ft by 1 ft by 1ft box. Except I didn't really build it, cause we have this handyman see? And I asked him some advice and he basically just DID it. I epoxied the top though, so I did something! and I came up with the plan kinda and shit like that, and it's not like he grinded it at all.
