Bowling Alley - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Here is a bowling alley I put together last summer. All you need is a dollar store set of plastic pins & ball. I made a rack (not shown) which make setting up the pins a breeze! This game is actually fun. The kids love it and every once in awhile I see an adult trying for a strike too.

That would make a very good baby sitter.

The painting took forever. Someone asked me to build one for them and I asked them if they wanted it painted. Their reply, "Well of course," my reply, "Forget it!"

Well, it really came out nice. You should make one for them and let them paint it

I planned to have a cool ball return on the next one I built. I already made a prototype ball catcher similar to ones found on very old bowling alleys. Now if I could figure out how to make a pin setter?
