Rail Plans

There are many ways you can build your own personal rail. This one is the simplist and should work great with soap shoes.

          Plans for a Simple Rail   
           Supplies Needed:
           -1.5 inch PVC (Thick enough that it won't break when you grind)
           -A 10 ft long 2x4
           -Two 2 ft long piece of scrap wood
           -2" (or longer) screws, hammer, and drill

           Building Instructions:
           -1. Drill holes in the top part of the pipe (At least 5 holes spaced
           evenly- and NOT all the way through!)
           -2. Take the screws and screw the pipe down into the edge of the 2x4
           -3. Screw the pieces of scrap wood into the base of the 2x4 at each end. This provides lateral support.

Here's how to attach the pipe to the 2x4




Here's a picture of what the finished product will look like

  


          




A grinding bar like this works great with plastic plates.  Metal pipes will last longer, but are
harder to drill and more expensive, as well.
