This is one of the best DIY vids I've ever seen: Thorough, yet well edited. Thank you for posting.

When I build my house when I get older, I'm putting a mini bowling lane in it. This tutorial looks perfect.

That is so cool! Man, every bowler's dream right here....to have a bowling lane in their house that they can practice bowling on. (Or at least it's mine. ^_^) If money wasn't an problem, I would buy a house with enough space in the back yard to attach a hallway leading off from the main house to a separate building / room large enough for 4 regulation bowling lanes. That would be epic, I think.

Never mind the build, that pin setter is damn impressive

This video is really helpful. I’ve built my bowling lane 5 months ago and the Lane we built was very similar! Many of your fans should say that this is very helpful. 😊

So I ended up here after looking for a skee ball machine for my basement. That got me thinking to how cool it would be to have a bowling alley in my house, which led to searching for mini bowling alley's, which ultimately got me here! This is so simple yet ingenious! While it may seem tedious to manually set the pins, this is the most inexpensive, yet effective, way to have a quality set up. Nice job!

This is an amazing project. Well done! Very technical and concise video.

So do you have to hand rack everything

Watching other bowling videos...

Dear Breadean,

I am just asking, but what are the dimensions of the balls and the pins? I want my own mini bowling lane in my house, but i can't find all of the materials in my country. This video was very helpful, and i hope that you reply.
Love from the Philippines🇵🇭.

Good day to you,

Very clear and well explained on how you made this bowling alley. Just a few engineering tweaks on the pinsetter and it would be ideal for a one-person game.

Wow man I’m glad you did this video. It is so great to see how you guys did it and also see all the new features you keep adding to the lane. Hope you have a merry Christmas.

[craigmonteforte]

this is a really cool build ! extremely creative and well done on the Alley ! and video

Very interesting, but watched all the way to the end and he didn't even throw one ball! I'm sure I wasn't alone waiting for that to happen. But great job and very creative with certain materials like the bowling pin setter.

Feb 2022: Nice job! - Something I did on a much simpler scale in 1977 with plastic pins found at toy stores on my dad's shuffleboard. My buddy and I rigged up a drop-shield and ball return, but manually operated. Been a project on my mind for billiard-ball scale and automated system since then! Maybe some day to full completion. LOL

[lacytaylor]

I just wanted to Thank you for this video. I was able to build my lane from this tutorial. I did my pinsetter different. I built mine from the side to maximize my lane . I would have had no clue where to start without this video.
I made a how to, showing how I did mine and posted it to help others if they are looking to build a lane. I gave you props at the end of my video. Thanks again!

Best video I seen on homemade bowling alley. I'm looking to make a full scale one. How do you have a scoring system setup?

[alexkizer]

This is awesome. I had no idea there was open score. There’s open source for everything !

[stephenlawson]

Thanks for answering my questions. Keep the videos coming. Hopefully the cat hasn’t spoiled any pocket shots.

[DiecastSmarts]

During the time of corona this is actually useful

[mixedmadness]

How much in total do you think it cost in time and money to make this?
