DIY Skeeball

RayB:
Will you be adding t-molding to your edges?
Ixliam:
T-molding or some cover surface will be added, but the only part with t-molding is right around the display.

The internal pics on here were taken by UncleT. If you saw the internal pics that were on my website, I just did a google image search for skeeball.

You know that is totally awesome and gnarly.I want one but it will never happen that puppy is to big.Plus wife would castrate me.You going to have tickets and prizes too??
Ixliam:
No tickets or prizes hehe. If someone wanted to I'm sure they could wire up a ticket counter to it. I have another piece of smoked plexi that when I get it wired up, get the score rings and new front covers in that I will drop a monitor in there and show how RandyT's program looks with it. Eventually with Randy developing more on the monitor end of things and me working on a system to use  either LED or the original style displays, people wanting to build one of these will have their choice of which way to run with it. RandyT was nice enough to send me a Keywiz to test out with it, I've just been a bit slower working on it since my college classes (which are all done online) kicked back in. Probably this weekend I will weld/bend a netting frame so I will quit skipping balls off the side of it, then I will need to get the rubber bumpers to go on the ramp sides, add the parts I ordered/won, paint the cork ramp surfacing, add in effects lights in the score area, and other things like that. Just a few things, but she is coming right along. I have found that if I step foot into that room, I end up playing a few rounds of skeeball.

You could always build a 6' model... or maybe figure out a way to make a collapsable/folding ramp. Now that would be interesting...
