Hey NS'ers I put up my thread on making ramps with my experiences making them, which has been a big hit, but I've also gotten alot of PM's on making rails and boxes. Which are beyond insane prices online, so I am making this thread for people interested. I am currently in MA, so I could ship it to you if you live closeby but otherwise, its all on you. +k for all of you newbs

Here's your steel and your topsheet all cut to size.

Step 1, make sure all the pieces are there

Step 2, Weld it together

Seems doable

you have any idea how much its gonna cost to ship metal? and if people cant weld blue prints won't do well!

idk its a good idea, but you'll go broke with the capital it will cost in materials and shipping. Unless you find a major consumer you'll never profit.

i don't wanna be a dubby downer, sorry
