- My uncle is a pro bowler and has a passion for the game. He’s been building this in his spare time for the last 3 years. I’m so impressed with all the details, I had to share it.
As always, I appreciate you all for watching!

The indentured pin servant needs a lot more recognition.
Edit: I should have done a gofundme for the poor bastard judging from all the likes.
They only get half the recognition, as to go with the theme.
@@zachdohdohbird9624 You deserve many, many likes for this. Hahaha!
No, no they don’t, it’s a entry level job for dumass kids who need to pay MANY years of dues, y’all don’t get to change reality cuz your fee fee’s are all ina bunch

@@itismethatguynot really the most expensive part of this is probably the labor
@@lukehTMCan you tell me how much you think this cost?
@@perejilseven1769 like 5k maybe??
I repair pinsetters as my job, and when you said he made a mechanical pinsetter I thought you meant a fully automated one like the kind real bowling alleys have. Its still impressive, don't get me wrong, but for a moment there I thought your uncle was a next level engineering genius.
I’m a lane tech as well, main event specifically. I’m frankly amazed at what this guy has made. Sometimes i think about how much work it took to install all 22 lanes at my job and how many tech and electricians had to work together to get it operational
That’s insanely awesome
I think he did his for more of an aesthetic. Im sure he could manage to build a tether system.
@@tiddlesworth8798 Tether system? What do you mean?
@aidanadkins5922 many alleys use a tether system to reset the pins. The pins are connected by a thin black tether wire to a mackine in up top. When resetting they lower a veil or wall to keep up the illusion but all thats happening are tethers pulling the pins back up into the machine and the machine setting down the required pins.
That pin guy better get a raise for all that hard work 💀
Nah… slaves are free
There is a robot, not a person. The person shown is demonstrating what the robot has to do.
@@Fishii108ohhh
@@Fishii108no, the only electrical is the hoist that goes up and down. The pin chaser is an actual person.

Imagine your friend asking you if you want to go bowling at his uncles homemade lane, only to be stuck resetting the pins.
Honestly I'd prefer that part
Seems like a fun machine to run honestly
No, instead of alternating players between sets, you go through all your frames straight while your buddy does the work back there. Then when you're done, you switch roles.
@@h8GW No, you’re forced to be the pin setter the whole time because that makes the joke even funnier. Don’t be a buzzkill bruver! 😂

Back when I was a kid, the local church had a 2 lane, full sized, manual alley in their basement rec room. We would take turns working the pins and playing. It was so much fun. They also had a few pool tables, foozeball, air hockey, and a full arcade. All free to any of the local kids.
The only catch was you had to do your homework first before you could play on any of them. And they'd even help with the homework and pay you in their own currency for how much time you spent there doing your homework. That currency could be used for things like paintball trips, or any other of the weekend activities they did off site.
Just to clarify, you said this was a church? That's fucking awesome. My church only had old books and even older people lol
@Atlas Mays yeah it was a methodist church. They had the church and connected to it was a full Rec center with a gym, computer labs, and the basement games room. Next to that was a full private park for all the kids.
It was in a bad neighborhood on the southside of Chicago, and this gave the kids another option besides the gangs. It rewarded them for going to school, helped them with free tutoring, and then gave them somewhere to stay and activities to do until 6pm every day.
They even had a big brother/sister program with one on one mentoring, and never once pressured anyone into joining the church or coming to mass. It was all ran by an old ex boxer named Ray who would take no shit from the gangs and would run them out of the park if they tried to mess with his kids.
If you wanna see it, it's the Union Avenue Methodist Church of Chicago
I would love to one day have something like this for the kids in our community at our church. My wife and I are soon taking over the youth group we grew up going to so it's a big passion of ours. Probably not bowling alleys lol but other things for sure
Man, I would have gone just to get help with the homework… I had a horrible time trying to do reading assignments and trying to figure out how to do problems from reading the books description. I still don’t know how to take useful notes in classes. I managed to get my GED, serve 10 yrs in the USAF, and get in a few college classes but I wish I did do better in school and graduate. Sounds like a well managed church and an awesome example of how churches and faith in a community can make a difference, even if it only helped kids do better in school.
I have something similar here in NM, it's a big, big church, called sagebrush, it's has basically everything you described, a bunch of table games like air hockey and foozeball, they also have a rec center, a little grass field for outdoor activities, basketball, and tennis courts, an arcade, a chapel for grade schoolers, a chapel middle schoolers, a chapel high schoolers, and a massive chapel for adults. After-school activities, they host events after church, they do a lot of fundraisers, they offer volunteer, and part time jobs, and weirdly enough they also had a currency system as well, if I remember correctly it was called sage bucks and you could use them to buy candy, toys, board games, and even game consoles. It still open to this day, it was pretty awesome, but now I just go to a more unknown church that's hosted by a bunch of Korean folk.
I really appreciate the "Funswick" logo, very nice detail
If your uncle is in Brunswick I would love to meet him. Haha. That is legendary!
I love that this setup brings back the pinboy job from the early days. This is so cool!
Ooh, so the pinboy thing showed in the video was only in the early days? I am so thankful for that info, cause i was so confused thinking this is how it worked normally and i just thought these were fully automatic.
Yeah it's cool but you'd need at least 2 people to play. And then would need to take turns being the setter, and couldn't really even play together. One person is always gonna be behind the thing, not seeing a thing or really being a part of the experience..
Ye, but you can't really play by yourself.
Who wants to bowl by themselves in their own house?
@@mike41062 probably something to play more casually while drinking with the buds. You hit the pins, then someone just goes back, sets it up, you wait for them to come back, doesn't have to be professional level seriousness 😂

Bro you have the coolest uncle
this is quite literally the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen
No one is going to mention the mini bowling balls?
I mean he did say everything had to be half size
I'm not positive, but they look a lot like the balls used in candlestick bowling, except those don't have finger holes, so they may just be modded.
They are actually duck pin bowling balls .it's a thing on the east coast.
@Dan Hart not just the east coast, we have them here in Washington.
Surprised how far down I had to scroll for this comment
Wait there was always people back there?
That's what im sayin! I never knew there was a person back there. I thought it was robots.
Typically it would be a machine, but this person does it by hand
There is someone in charge of keeping up the machines put it should be automatic.
Most of the modern bowling alleys are automated, but back in the day people used to set the pins much like what you see here. My uncle used to be a pin setter when he was a young boy in the 60's
Back then, yeah it was the case
I plan on getting a candlepin lane in my house. Love candlepin. Way more fun with the smaller balls so I’m not putting so much strain on my shoulder with a 10-16 lb ball. Looks amazing!
That is so cool. I'm looking at the wood and I can't help think how complicated and much work was required to make. Your uncle is crazy smart.
Yes yes craziest uncle, also crazy in bed

You’re uncle helps the kids on Saturday mornings at the place we bowl at great guy!
WAIT THERES PEOPLE BACK THERE??? I WANT THAT JOB-
Until you watch a crime show where someone gets stuck in it
While he specified mechanical I’m pretty sure it automated in actual lanes
I used to have that job! Now, all the machines are fully automated, but theres almost always a mechanic on shift to keep the machines running when they break. It was a really fun job and I hope to come back sometime
I read that as "WAIT THERES BLACK PEOPLE THERE"
my grandpa was a pin setter back in the day before it was mechanical. he said that if people were mad, they would throw balls down the lane when he was still setting the pins up. actually pretty dangerous stuff lol
Does your uncle happen to be a dwarf by chance?
Lmao
it's ohio we never know
He's actually my cousin and yes, God also made him half-scale.
@@zuru7266 the meme literally ended months ago
@@chiefOK I'll make it last forever
My mother bowled in a woman's league at Shaw AFB, South Carolina when I was in 2nd or 3rd grade. I LOVED going to the bowling alley with her. We kids learned how to get to the back and watch the pinsetters work. There was a whole line of black men leaning against a concrete protuberance behind the lanes, all in white tank tops, all smoking Newports and Camels, then CRASH a lane would explode and one dude would get to work rolling the ball back , sweeping the pins and resetting them. Ten seconds of work, then back to enjoying his ciggie. What a memory! Thanks for your video, this brought back a lot of memories. I'll never forget the smell of that bowling alley, a combination of old foot smell and hot dog witb onions. Lol.
I LOVE your shirt!

Ok that’s just simply the most bad ass thing I think I’ve seen !!!
Fantastic work!!!
Pretty cool- but that also means you have to have someone reset the pins- he could attach strings to each of them and have them raise into the holes
That looks like it's more fun than actual bowling!
As a bowler, this one hurt 🥲
They’re both fun. I even build my own Mini Bowling Alley back in 2018 and still have it til this day. It even helped me survived through the Pandemic as my local Bowling Alley was closed 2 Years straight until it reopened on March 30th 2022

Love this!
You could make the pin setter automatic with a garage door opener. Having tension on elastic lines that make a grid that crosses on the pin's necks when a remote push piston extends out, the connected single elastic line will tighten or loosen. Piston out, tight line, piston in, loose line. Garage door opener raises and lowers grid board.
The hard part is getting the pins from the floor into the setter.
@@bobh6728 True. Maybe a magnetic base in the pins to place them in the correct location.
Wow definitely an awesome ice breaker for anyone who comes over hahaha.

That is an awesome bowling alley!
Incredible work and commentary!
Remember half the size in each dimension, so 1/8th the total size of a regular alley. A lot smaller than you might imagine
That should be ¼ then.
@@Steve_Kassiotis no. We have 3 dimensions. (1/2)^3 = 1/8
@@camerongray7767what third dimension of the lane itself are you cutting in half? It's half length, half width, so 1/4 floor area. It doesn't have a height/depth, and even if you're counting that i don't think the height of a bowling lane is going to be your limiting factor for how much space you need. The lane is a 2 dimensional plane (with gutters on the side, the volume of the gutters would be 1/8 an actual alley's gutters). Or if you're talking about the pin setter, sure that specifically is 1/8 volume if it's also exactly half scale of a full alley's one.
Your uncle’s a dedicated man
This is so cool!!
