I have recently come to realise a restriction on my project I had not previously thought about. At least not consciously anyway. I have realised that another size restriction is in place I will have to think about. This is that I am restricted on transport of goods to and from the gallery since I only own a car, and I do not wish to rent a van, I will have to make sure that regardless of how many pieces I make to skate they will have to fit into my car. However I can possibly imply a jigsaw effect on the pieces should their be multiple.
Construction is also an option in the gallery space however I am sure this is not the best way to go about this, as painting will have to be done there as well. This is a possible last resort option however.
The two things I have previously made for skating are around 5ft give or take, and these fit comfortably into my car. at a guess I think around 7ft would be pushing it to fit in, however 6ft is probably a sweet spot. 6ft is also a potential sweet spot for actually skating something like a ledge or a rail, as its long enough to lock in a full grind and not too long that balancing out the entirety of the ledge or rail is a big issue. Height and width of the structure also comes into factor when considering it for transport, but these when put into perspective are obvious when they are unrealistic for travel. More details soon on these restrictions as my skate-able piece comes closer to construction.
