Custom built, half-scale bowling lane! 🎳

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.

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.

That pin guy better get a raise for all that hard work 💀

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.

this is like every retired man projects would look like

I love that this setup brings back the pinboy job from the early days. This is so cool!

[peterjamesfoote]

My dad was a pin setter as a kid. It was a great job and all the bowling alleys had them.

Imagine your friend asking you if you want to go bowling at his uncles homemade lane, only to be stuck resetting the pins.

[shobanshoxx]

Dayummm that's a real uncle right there man ❤

[greyegmond]

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.

9:01 actually, most professional bowlers have a 5 step walk up similar to your happy gilmore strategy, they have have it down to a science. they also release the ball lower and don’t toss it on the floor so high up but hey it works for you

[OfficiallySnek]

No one is going to mention the mini bowling balls?

[Ozzypup]

This is pretty cool. Be fun for those long winter days.

[bobinwater]

WAIT THERES PEOPLE BACK THERE??? I WANT THAT JOB-

[brettpointer]

I really appreciate the "Funswick" logo, very nice detail

[nelsonreyes-alvarez]

My house still isn’t big enough for this.

[OfficiallySnek]

Does your uncle happen to be a dwarf by chance?

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.

That is really awesome, would love to have something like that

[Someone-iuoj]

That is actually amazing! the mechanical pin setter is very clever, your uncle is a genius.
