Building A Secret DIY Skatepark Ep.12

[@TRAVIESO_NA]

A manual pad & slappy curb on both sides and a Round rail or 2. Maybe a small ledge on each side.

[@lionelturri]

J'ai rien compris mais suis d'accord

[@Hoosierdaddyjones812]

People should donate some funds to help him make it.

[@salvagedmetal]

Lady NGF at Lowes is the MVP on this episode

[@CaneCorso45]

That was my wife.. she lost her job because of this episode and we are hungry.

[@mrfelipehurtado]

hey man i really dig the videos ! thanks for all the effort you put into them. iknow it must be tempting to post them as soon as possible, specially with the ammount of time money and willpower that goes into them, that said, i think as a story telling medium you would so benefit from waiting a bit more and finishing all the videos with skating the spot you just built. theres a crescendo in the care that the audience invest in the episode that is very valuable, and dont get me wrong i am definitely coming back for the next episode to see you skate it, 100 percent, but the natural enthusiasm built will have dissipated a bit. all that said, again thanks so much for all the effort you put, you do great great work, and i love seeing you skate, thats my selfish reason too!

[@TheAshley7677]

I love watching your videos i don't skate no more but i build bike jump trails all about the community spirit. If you got some large pipe so the water can flow and get some bigger wood forms then build upto the edge of the wall like that wall ride at the end of the video and build a half pipe at the top to gain speed

[@PolycultureArt]

Love that piece with the multicoloured tags inside. Ive not seen anything like it. Each episode I notice it.. Keep up the good work Dowdyboi :)

[@lionelturri]

Yes sir

[@russellzauner]

you can also ask the metal shops for trim parts or if the longer piece you get isn't really flat/true, they have big flat table to lay it on and quick/easy to put it flat or get a different piece while there. I used to get hunks of delrin (a plastic) for almost nothing or nothing because a fab shop that was making other parts let me grab off their trim pile. Yeah it's got scrap value, and if they hesitate for metals I always offer them a little better than going scrap rate for trimmed bits in their recovery bins. Usually it's not a problem to do a misc cash receipt or slap a little cash/consumable in their hand and everyone's happy. ;-)

At Dowdy's Lizard Reservoir spot.

[@bigzem4696]

Working with concrete at work we put painters tape on the coping and then duct tape over the painters tape, helps keep the painters tape down and painters tape comes off easily after.

[@sidioussithlord]

heres a little tip: if you push dry pebbles into the mix when your working at the top or on vertical stuff they will absorb some moisture and help the setting time so you can trowel quicker

[@mikeytappe]

Love watching you build this! Community service at its finest

[@BlackCatskateboardpress]

Yes!! Stoked to follow along once again :)

[@joshdavidson854]

Love when you drop these diy videos!!

[@noahcampbell8966]

fav series on youtube

[@TheHappyDIYGuy-ri8nb]

You are doing great. Tip: Fill those holes with newspapers and pack them in there. This will give you a wall to spread your concrete on.

[@henrythomas2547]

Another Great Video ! Thanks 4 Posting ! 🤘🤪🤘

[@popeyepiggy2538]

I think a masonry trowel would really become handy to you

[@RobertE-l6z]

Totally agree. Margin Trowel as well.

[@Dwyy__]

Favorite series on youtube

[@Zephyrian1st]

quality superb, editing top notch, gg i wanna skate this one day, diy was my shit back in the day

[@schmitt9026]

30:36 here’s a little tip for you, fill those small holes with newspaper and leave around an inch void for the crete, it should stop it all falling out.

[@Jeremya74]

Good idea..that should work..or cardboard

[@givemeausrename]

Wow long video! Good work. Liked before I even started watching. Mostly here to check on the moustache.

[@louiludog]

Dude this is coming out so sick! I'm in the I.E but would love to come down and shred it soon 🤙

[@blakemiller1696]

you should make a concrete ledge that is like a cement bathtub with a lip on the inside. then while the concrete is still wet you can bore our a hole for a dead lock then buld the lid out of wood so you can store concrete and tools

[@mako3742]

Hello from Italy, I'm following the whole series and I'm enjoying it. It's clear that you have good DIY skills, I would like to recommend a Bricklaying trowel (the ones with the square tip) which would make your jobs easier, for example when you have to take the cement to put it in the cracks of the blocks, it's cheap and it makes the job better. I would love to skate this place, greetings :)

[@jizzymacg2440]

Love this channel ❤️

[@JoshuaGatti-u8j]

Gorilla brand, heavy duty construction adhesive tubes for caulk guns is my jam dude. Instant grab and hold, you won’t ever need to worry about weighing it down or anything. Midwest prices are about 10$ a tube

[@cameraop8210]

i love how u just made the concrete pool styled coping with that rounded tool

[@seatun]

Yo, haven't seen a video in a while. Nice stash bro. Shaved my beard and been rocking one myself for a couple months now.

[@russellzauner]

doing it this way also allows you to slot in some skating on the dry sections every visit, which adds up to a LOT of mini practice over time...being able to do all the prep and then just come in and slam it all down saves massive amounts of time, effort, and unnecessary effort expended that could be used for some ripping as a reward for your hard and *smart* work.

[@pigeye133]

awesome spot man

[@bigdingus6196]

Looking good 🤘🤘

[@dadboard]

19:49 you did it! 😂 🔥

[@ZackDowdy]

Just for you! 🙏

[@Evergreenprospectors]

Construction site dumpsters is where the good stuff is for diy parks

[@Inexpressable]

I have a big concrete type cylinder thats meant to go in the ground for a drain. It's the perfect start to a bank or something if I ramped up one side with concrete. Gotta find a place in my city for a diy though

[@THEFLIGHTCREW5]

hes back!

[@ZRuns94]

I wish we had these legendary concrete ditches out here on the east coast 😢

[@Theboizue]

NEW VID LETS GOOOO!!!!🎉🎉❤

[@spencernuzzi]

Dowdyside really coming together dawg!

[@insanogeddon]

You should sell that little bit of angle iron you cut off. Charge it at 3ft ; p Would make a great paper weight for someone stuck in an office that wishes they were out

[@Bschnizzle]

Things rich kids from fallbrook(with their own backyard parks) do to look silly while attempting to get "street cred"

[@thomashammack7743]

You can find free angle iron = old metal bedframes .check apt. Dumpster areas

[@quickwiththesteel9795]

Keep your eyes peeled for old bedframes left in a laneway or free on marketplace. They're good for 20 feet of free angle iron.

[@zaynesohlberg8108]

Zach “essentially” dowdy

[@JKTCGMV13]

Nice discount on that angle iron haha

[@TheAngelPasillas]

This new obstacle looks easily looks like the most fun yet !

[@Mr.Monster1313]

Concrete launch ramp ? And a halfpipe ? 😮😮😮😮😊

[@863-b9nokaloenfbs]

Recessed screws through the angle iron

[@tuskratscrew703]

you look jazzy as hell ...stache shades...ripping cat ...your hep

[@lordsofthewildwood7553]

You should panning for Gold in that filler dirt surely 😉

[@SA8TER21]

Just an FYI to cordless power tools. Hercules cordless tools from Harbor Freight are great tools for the money. About half the price for about the same performance as the big brands. If I didnt have the M18 battery system Id probably just have all of my tools as those.

[@Bogoslov2007]

Очень круто!

[@P1nt0707]

Hell yeah

[@NinjaLifestyle]

[@malt_lizard]

Dowdyside ripssss

[@edwardaleman1658]

Hell yea

[@YippyKiaYay91]

For the voids, have you experimented with spray foam?

[@ZackDowdy]

Yeah! Last episode I used some, worked nicely.

[@Corinthians-kjv]

Metal bed frames are good angle iron.

[@ZackDowdy]

True!

[@crystalquaglio8588]

You should get a gorilla cart to transport stuff

[@blakemiller1696]

I think Kevin Costner ,might be your daddy. Cause your building a field of dreams

@zack dowdy- what are the shades?

[@fallbakjonez1348]

I was wondering about the cans what do they do?

[@tofastash724]

Looks like 3 feet to me

[@hlvlslon2739]

Slug hammer break the river rocks

[@Lecordonier]

I see it vert

[@JT-un7dc]

Please do not build like this if you want the concrete to last. Fyi cinder blocks should be staggered & set the right way for more strength. No mesh or rebar and didn't set blocks correctly to fill the webs. No disrespect, zak, if your making a video that everyone can see then they need to know this isn't the correct way build.

[@salectium5991]

👍

[@scottkeenan6339]

That's how the pros do it 💥🤙

[@lamBETTERthanY0U]

Gonna be all screwed up within a year

[@twissaunders7196]

Can we get a little spin plz I'm would love to see it

[@Eddywuxhere]

bob ross?

[@lvup7907]

[@JoseyWilds]

Illegal

[@vjdjwaffelz]

Stacking bricks like you did in the first minute there leaves a weak surface with no strength. I doubt that top pad of the 1/4 pipe or bank ledge will last very long as there's no structure to bricks stacked with the flat surface being the top or bottom. Shameful waste of energy and money building something that's not going to survive the abuse of skateboarding

[@vjdjwaffelz]

Open faced down equals strength

[@vjdjwaffelz]

Your bottom layer of the bricks is the only one with structural strength. Watching KZbin build wrong and teach people to do wrong builds saddens me Zach.

[@JT-un7dc]

I was thinking the same thing. Staggering the blocks & filling the webs & some form of rebar or mesh is necessary for strength.

[@vjdjwaffelz]

@@JT-un7dc I honestly had to stop watching cuz it makes me sad to see such awesome potential that's probably not going to last at all.

[@hydralicmonkey6490]

It's a DIY by someone who doesn't do this for a living. It's a learning process. You didn't get it right the first try either. Shut the fuck up you troglodyte philistine.
