sweet

[penguinshamrock]

was it easy to make the lane?

[bravebelt67]

what is the length and width of your lane from foul line to the headpin!!!

[loverbud8182]

@bravebelt67 - the pin spacing & lane width is full-size regulation. The length is short though. It is maybe 29 feet to the headpin from the foul line

Linds World Impex has 1/2 size replicas of tenpins; I basement bowled using

such a set and a candlepin ball. Pinfall was true to form - solid tens, splits,

washouts, etc.

[chickenpoper]

:) little loud dont you think? you need auto return function for the ball (you might not be able to)

[tonerduckpin]

I just converted my pinsetter from duckpin to candlepin. You can search "G.D.O. Pinsetter: Duckpin to Candlepin Conversion"

[prjsnowman]

You used alot of 2x4s for base -- would you use less number of them to form base, also what thickness of plywood for base did you use? Thanks

[skatetildeath13]

hey man you mind giveing me some dimensions and tips and things on how to make one i want one im my basment thanks

[ima627bowler]

where did you buy your pins? My pins are older wooden ones and I do not get near as much pin action as you

[brendanfick]

awesome lane! If I had one, I would use it almost everyday! Even though I bowl tenpin.

[loverbud8182]

It would be cool to make it for tenpin too, but I don't think my backstop is strong enough to stop a 16 lb ball again and again. Duckpins are the best for making a small in-home alley.

[TheOnehandedwonder]

@loverbud8182 well if it cant stop a 16 pounder why not by a 8 pounder you can get them for like 40 or 50 bucks

[loverbud8182]

@TheOnehandedwonder : I suppose I could. It would be cool to be able to play 3 different forms of bowling on the lane.

[speedemonfreak55]

THATS SO COOL

[josephcarlo0809]

awesome video

[BasementBowling]

Nice job! Saw your project on the Bowl-Tech forums.

[loverbud8182]

Your project was part of what inspired me to build this. Yours is just as impressive, I'd like to see more video of it.

Thanks for the compliment!

[ykmalachi]

damn, those balls is flying down that lane!!!!

I am not sure how fast, but they look like they were moving over 9000!
