Step by step of how we built a 24’ bowling lane. Thanks to Braedan Brennaman’s Tutorial. I put my pinsetter on the side to maximize the size of the lane.
I am getting ready to build the pinsetter box today and wondering how you keep the pins from flying and hitting the person setting the pins if that space is open?
I used cheap snap together laminate flooring. I just went for the color of a lane. It’s held up well. No issues. Over 3 years. Playing on it once a month with a couples league. Make sure you if you can at the end of the lane you leave more fall off area for the pins. I didn’t leave enough. Which causes the ball sometimes to bounce off the wall and come back down the lane. Mine is 1 foot. Foot and a half would have been perfect. Good luck on your build. They are fun!
@@lacytaylor5784 thanks for the advice. Ive been wondering about the pit area, so thats great to know. Im looking to start a couples league here in my little community too. we already have houses that do darts, Virtual Golf.. i think this will be an awesome addition. thanks again for the feedback! looks like yall got a good thing going there!
Love your pinsetter idea . Trying to build one for my son . Do you have any plans on the pinsetter . I would buy them from you if so. Thanks for your time
b johnson No I just watched the other tutorial on it from another person. And made mine a pull system verse the spring. And mine is on the side to save room verse having to be behind it. I have tried to make a tutorial on it but it’s hard to see.The base is on 24” drawer slides and it’s a pulley system to pull it up and let it down.
Awesome setup with lots of great detail in the video! I too will be using a side access to save space. So my question is how do you pick up the ball from the right side of the pit and feed the ball return that is on the left side of the lane. I guess it rolls from right to left and makes the 90 degree turn to return home. Can you help me figure out how to do the part in the pit and feeding the 90 degree turn? Thank You!!!
Ron Kratofil There was a tool shown in the video it’s made out of wood and PVC. I use that to reach the ball. The ball return does do a 90 degree turn. You will have to play with the angle. If it’s too steep it will bounce off the wall too hard and jump off track. So just a slight angle. Just enough to make it roll easy so when it hits the wall it turns. I have a block of wood angled in the corner to help it turn.
@@lacytaylor5784 Thanks. And this is what was needed for a 24 foot lane. How would I go about making a 30 footer? Obviously I would start with your list, and just add from there?
Jeff Nordeen yes , I wish I could have fit a 30’ lane. I’ll try this week to do an in depth video on the pin setter. That seams to be the hardest part to make. And leave at least 2’ for the pins to fall off the end of the lane. I didn’t leave enough room so sometimes the ball comes hits the padded wall and shoots back down the lane. This thing is tons of fun. Good luck with the build.
Curtis Nagy , I think around 750$. For plywood , laminate , screws. 2x4’s , liquid nail, pulleys, rope, pvc pipe , U shaped fittings, rubber Matt. Took about two weekend to complete.
Joseph Bradley 11” but 9” after I added the carpet and padding. but if I had to do it over it would be 1’6”. Sometimes the ball bounces back down the lane.
Great job!
Very nice creation.
Pretty cool.
whats the ipad app called?
Here’s a tip
Take off your headset and unplug the cable and there

Jamie Schneider the side wall you lean over catches anything that goes sideways. Never has one shot out the side.
Nice work, but the added sound FX wrecked the video. (Cringe-Worthy)
One of the more solid pinsetting mechanisms I've seen in a home-built lane.
What doing it?
im getting ready to start on my Lane, this is a great tutorial, thanks for it. can you tell me what kind of laminate flooring you used?

Lacy Taylor ok thank you for your advise .
Do you have any tips on how I can make like a full scale on with pins you see at the alley
Lewis The Reviewer
Not sure. Think those pins would be a pain to load. As they are much heavier.
Where did you find those 2-1/2" PVC fittings for the pin setter? None of my local hardware stores have those!
Lowes or HomeDepo it was electrical conduit. Check in the electrical isle.
Is a 18 foot lane enough for a curve in the ball?
Sorb I’d say it could work. This lane is 24’. You work with what you have.
Where did you get those pins? I’ve been looking everywhere!

You Should get a sweeper for the lane.

Hello, where did you the mini bowling balls?
bowling_is_my_Lifestyle Denny
www.minibowlingpins.com/shop/
Need more space behind the pins for more realistic action. It would be too easy to pick up splits
Hi, what app do you use to keep score on the ipad?
Tj Jizzi
Scoreboard is the app.
It keeps track of stats and the league play.
Where did you buy the pins and ball?
www.minibowlingpins.com/
Got the pins.
I bought balls off FB sales. I got lucky. 10$ all 4.
But you can get used ones on eBay pretty cheap.
Where did you get the pins
Can you show the full supplies list? It got cut off a little bit with the transition.
Jeff Nordeen
2x4x10’-3 each
2x4x8’-31 each
2x3x8’-3 each
That was what was missing from the video.

How much did this cost not including the tv iPad and lighting?

WHOA!!!!!!!!
I have one like that but yours is better
What is the length between the back of your lane and the wall?
Joseph Bradley 11” but 9” after I added the carpet and padding. but if I had to do it over it would be 1’6”. Sometimes the ball bounces back down the lane.
@@lacytaylor5784 Thanks? I'm going to try and recreate your setup in my garage, but can only swing about a 19' 5" lane, leaving 15" for the pit area.
I think add 10 pins to prefect
just got everything done, whats the bowling app called? (i dont have an ipad, i only have android)
Scoreboard
@@lacytaylor5784 thanks!
Cố gắng nhé
This song makes me cry.
@LYRIK ISFJORD It's so emotionally relevant

The balls don't look round?
is there even a sweep??
I made a hand held one. Much quicker.
Bubba Wallace wouldn't like that end of the rope he would say it was attentional. 😃😆😅🤣😂
That's my hamsters name bubba
I think he copied Braeden
Yep just changed a few things. My pinsetter is on the side to save room. Very thankful he made the video. Even have him props at the end of the video.
I disliked the video only cause of the sound effects, other than that it's sick looking.
BigGoldenYoshiFan first time making a video. Learning curve.
Great job!
Andys BOWL Thank you.
