if you're serious about making a rail, i'd draw up some legit plans and hit up home depot and or check dumpsters for scrap matierial. Also join build a jib cult

building a rail can take a long time if you arent prepared. if you draw up your plans, know exactly what you need and what measurments you need then theyll cut the wood at home depot for you

For me it's way easier to just build. planning takes forever and nothing gets done.
But I have lots of tools and stuff at home so I start building and see how it goes.


but really
build a jib 101 cult.

This is true.. wasn't tryin ta be a dick. basically all you need if you're gonna build it yourself without precut lumber is a saw and a hammer/nails or a drill/screws. that's how i built my first one, the one i posted there i put a little more time into and cut angles and all that with a circular saw with adjustable angles.

if you have the materials just make some plans or just start building and figure out what works for you dude.
