Title: Air Hockey?
Post by: marcoval on April 03, 2003, 11:00:22 pm

So anyone been stupid enough to try to BYOAHT? Maybe it's because I can only imagine how the insides of one of these things work, coupled with the fact that I see such nice woodworking skills here, I wonder if it has been tried? Kind of an Arcade controll right? ;D

I started planning on making one once, but then I was bought one. Its almost full size. Hardly ever play it anymore though

Any Information we can gather would be great.  I would love to find more on this and build one.

Its a link to a site I through up a couple of pics and some construction notes.  I didn't create the drawings or the walk through but check it out.

I got several PMs about people that were interested in building one, which is part of what prompted me to make the page above.

No, I haven't built an air hockey table, I don't have room for one. :(
