Private Spots – Page 6 – Skate and Annoy

Think you can’t afford an enviable skate structure?

What can you do with under $1000, some patience, and a whole lot of salvaged wood? Tim Kulas’ old bowl is long gone, but his new project is going strong under the name of the Pumpkin Bowl. When finished, it will have over 80 feet of continuous hand-poured coping. Check it out at Bowl Surgeon. […]
