Elishia Selby documented the process of building skate ramps in 16 steps. The steps included measuring and cutting wood, assembling parts using screws and drills, attaching wheels, sanding edges, and painting the finished ramps. Safety precautions like tying back hair, wearing aprons, and using goggles were emphasized throughout the building process.

Skate ramp building:

2. 3.
Here I am measuring the lengths of the wood
to the correct dimensions and marking them
using a carpenters square, pencil and tape
measure. Apron and hair tied back fro safety.
Here I am sawing the wood
with a Tenon saw, following
a line measured previously.
Apron and hair tied back for
safety
Here I am sanding (using the
machine) the wood
previously sawed to ensure
the edges are straight and
smooth. Goggles, hair tied
back and apron for safety.
4.
Here I am working with the rest of
my group to assemble the middle
ramp’s side together using screws
and drills, making a pilot hole first.
Hair tied back and apron for safety.
5.
Here I am drill the
parts together, using a
drill and a G-clamp to
hold the wood down.
Apron and hair tied up
for safety.
6.
Here I am helping assemble the whole of the
middle ramp, by placing and holding the
wood in place ready to be drilled in place.
Apron and hair tied back for safety.
7. Here I am
measuring equal
distance to
hammer the
screws to attach
the plywood to the
main frame. Apron
and hair tied back
for safety.
8.
Here I am drilling
the side piece of
plywood onto the
sloped ramp’s
main frame.
Apron and hair
tied back for
safety.

Here I am sanding with sand
paper the edges of the
plywood just attached so
that it is smooth and safe
without getting splinters.
Apron and hair tied back for
safety.
10.
Here I am removing using an
Alan key the caster wheels
from the drum trolley to use
on the ramps.
11.
Here I am sawing the
caster wheels off the
wooden and metal
blocks so that they can
be attached to the
ramp.
Here I am again sawing
but to use the wood to
make the wheels touch
the floor. Hair tied up for
safety.

Here I am using an Alan
key to attach the caster
wheels to the ramp.
Here I am painting the
ramps with a paint brush
and roller.
Here I am sanding the handles of
the ramp as they are sharp and
hard to pull the ramp on and off
the stage.
