Where can I get these woodwork supplies?

Question

I want to make a 5' 5" quarterpipe out of wood for skateboarding, (you know, a mini ramp) and I need to know which shops to go to (like Home Depot, no locals) to get these supplies (note: I am not very familar with woodworking, screws, etc. so please help out if you have created anything like a wooden ramp before):
3 to 5 sheets of plywood
3 to 5 sheets of Masonite
at least 12 2x4s
a steel or any metal round pipe
any screw (please tell me which one's best for the job), and long
nails (not sure which ones to pick)
also, please estimate how much this will cost.

If anyone has built a wooden ramp before, please help out with this. Thank you!

please be general if you have to list what type of store

no, not how to build it- I already have that. Just where to get the supplies

Answer 1

Any decent lumberyard should have that. They should also be able to suggest different things as what is best for your project. Check your yellow pages.

I just came across a site with over 16,000 downloadable woodworking plans at:

Here is an honest review


If you want to start a woodworking project, you need all the necessary information, including schematics, blueprints, materials lists, dimensions etc. That is where TedsWoodworking comes in. The plans are clearly drawn and there're step-by-step explainations of how the plan should be done and put together.

There are several other sites whose collection of plans have the dimensions totally wrong without any indication of parts lists, material lists or the tools needed. If you're one of those people who have bought plans like this in the past, TedsWoodworking will change your perception.

In Ted's Woodworking you will get everything you need:
-Diagrams which are detailed with a full set of dimensions
-Step -by-step instructions how to start your project
-The necessary materials for that particular project
-All the woodworking tools you will need

If you are a beginner or have done some woodworking you will find these plans easy-to-follow as the instructions are very clearly written. The woodworking plans are straightforward so they are not complicated at all. Even if you are a total newcomer to woodworking you will simply be able to master all the techniques that are needed and the woodworking skills very quickly by following the concise and clear instructions.

Another thing which is so great about these woodworking plans is that there have been some videos included and there are some to guide you in how to build benches home furniture dog houses bird feeders sheds and much much more.

There is also a lifetime member acess included in the package and you get these extras for no cost to you as they are free with no additional charges at all! This alone is worth the entire price for TedsWoodworking.

Ted Mcgrath is a very dedicated and experienced woodworker who knows what he is talking about when it comes to woodworking and DIY projects s he has been a woodworker for many many years.

Cons
There is only one drawback that we could find and that being with 16,000 woodworking plans you are bound to get some which look a little disorganized but that is understandable as it is very difficult to place all these plans into their proper categories. Secondly, it might take you a little longer to do the downloads on because of the size of them. But the members area include an option to upgrade to the DVD so you can save time on downloading.

Bottom line:
Truth is, I've been a carpenter for almost 36 years, and I haven't found anything like this for less than 10's of thousands of dollars.Here's the bottom line: If you are planning to start on your woodworking project, this isn't something you SHOULD use, it's something that you would be insane not to.

Answer 4

It took me 1/2 hr, but I think I found the help you need. It is a book that will tell you how to build one. It costs $11.99. Worth the price I would think to avoid making mistakes. When you get to the site, look for the search box and enter the item number...3TB0102 .
