I was possibly looking at building my own Skee Ball machine. Were would I find plans. I don’t see much for building the ramp part. Any help would be Great.
Thanks Nate

Unclet posted two zip files containing 30 great pictures here, including two of a ramp template with an L-square for scale reference. (29 and 30)

I started to pull some plans together on Sketchup.  You are welcome to them.  If you make any improvements/changes, just let me know, if you wouldn't mind.  I still need to work out the ball return part behind the ball chutes.
