How To Build A Skate Ramp

I'll try to make my instructions easy to scan, but also as specific as possible.
How to build a skate ramp
Step 1: Get out the chip board & divide it into three equal parts. In the first part draw the curve you want. Cut out the curve & that is your template. Use your template to measure the other 2 parts.
Step 2: Cut the mapel wood into three equal parts. put those aside for later use age. Bolt the peices of chip board together so they are Side-by-side without overlaping. Get out 1 of the peices of mapel. About half way up on the side with the curve Make an outline of the square end of the mapel. so that it is flush with the curve. You may have to sand it a bit. Do the same thing with the top of the curve & the part where the 2 flat bits meet (the corner) ( make sure that the markings go across all three chip board pieces)
Step 3: Cut out the Makings with an electric saw. to do this cut lines down inside the square you have made down to the bottom of the square. make around 10-15 cuts & use the chisel to get them out. Place the mapel into the slots to make sure that they dont have gaps.
Step 4: Measure halfway on 1 of the pieces of mapel. Screw it In the midle gap in the middle piece of chip board ( the midle-mark you just made) Do the same with the other two bits of mapel (in the other two gaps you made). Undo the bolt. Screw the the two sides of the mapel to the other two middle gaps in the other two bits of chip board. Again do the same with the other two bits of mapel. [use two screws for screwing them in]
Step 5: [ for this step you will need someone to help you help you hold the ply wood down while you screw it in place on the frame]
place the ply wood on the frame & line it up with the top and the sides. Put screws in the top & progressively screw down the edges & centre of the ply wood to the frame. [ put 1 sheet of ply wood on at a time (1 over the other)
