Custom built, half-scale bowling lane! 🎳 

They only get half the recognition, as to go with the theme.

​@@zachdohdohbird9624 You deserve many, many likes for this. Hahaha!

No, no they don’t, it’s a entry level job for dumass kids who need to pay MANY years of dues, y’all don’t get to change reality cuz your fee fee’s are all ina bunch

Very cleveland you mean 😂

Just to clarify, you said this was a church? That's fucking awesome. My church only had old books and even older people lol

@Atlas Mays yeah it was a methodist church. They had the church and connected to it was a full Rec center with a gym, computer labs, and the basement games room. Next to that was a full private park for all the kids. It was in a bad neighborhood on the southside of Chicago, and this gave the kids another option besides the gangs. It rewarded them for going to school, helped them with free tutoring, and then gave them somewhere to stay and activities to do until 6pm every day. They even had a big brother/sister program with one on one mentoring, and never once pressured anyone into joining the church or coming to mass. It was all ran by an old ex boxer named Ray who would take no shit from the gangs and would run them out of the park if they tried to mess with his kids. If you wanna see it, it's the Union Avenue Methodist Church of Chicago

I would love to one day have something like this for the kids in our community at our church. My wife and I are soon taking over the youth group we grew up going to so it's a big passion of ours. Probably not bowling alleys lol but other things for sure

Man, I would have gone just to get help with the homework… I had a horrible time trying to do reading assignments and trying to figure out how to do problems from reading the books description. I still don’t know how to take useful notes in classes. I managed to get my GED, serve 10 yrs in the USAF, and get in a few college classes but I wish I did do better in school and graduate. Sounds like a well managed church and an awesome example of how churches and faith in a community can make a difference, even if it only helped kids do better in school.

I have something similar here in NM, it's a big, big church, called sagebrush, it's has basically everything you described, a bunch of table games like air hockey and foozeball, they also have a rec center, a little grass field for outdoor activities, basketball, and tennis courts, an arcade, a chapel for grade schoolers, a chapel middle schoolers, a chapel high schoolers, and a massive chapel for adults. After-school activities, they host events after church, they do a lot of fundraisers, they offer volunteer, and part time jobs, and weirdly enough they also had a currency system as well, if I remember correctly it was called sage bucks and you could use them to buy candy, toys, board games, and even game consoles. It still open to this day, it was pretty awesome, but now I just go to a more unknown church that's hosted by a bunch of Korean folk.

Step two: go to ohio

Step 1: youtube

Yeah I think all you need to do is go to ohio

Not really, its just a pin holder and a hand held sweeper

I’m a lane tech as well, main event specifically. I’m frankly amazed at what this guy has made. Sometimes i think about how much work it took to install all 22 lanes at my job and how many tech and electricians had to work together to get it operational

That’s insanely awesome

I think he did his for more of an aesthetic. Im sure he could manage to build a tether system.

@@tiddlesworth8798 Tether system? What do you mean?

@aidanadkins5922 many alleys use a tether system to reset the pins. The pins are connected by a thin black tether wire to a mackine in up top. When resetting they lower a veil or wall to keep up the illusion but all thats happening are tethers pulling the pins back up into the machine and the machine setting down the required pins.

Ooh, so the pinboy thing showed in the video was only in the early days? I am so thankful for that info, cause i was so confused thinking this is how it worked normally and i just thought these were fully automatic.

Yeah it's cool but you'd need at least 2 people to play. And then would need to take turns being the setter, and couldn't really even play together. One person is always gonna be behind the thing, not seeing a thing or really being a part of the experience..

Ye, but you can't really play by yourself.

Who wants to bowl by themselves in their own house?

​@@mike41062 probably something to play more casually while drinking with the buds. You hit the pins, then someone just goes back, sets it up, you wait for them to come back, doesn't have to be professional level seriousness 😂

You have 777 likes I think it should stay there but I’m so tempted

a while* awhile = "for a while" Confusing, but that's English.

​@@Webberjo this you?🤓🤓

Is that automatic now? Or is it still a job people do?

@@alister6054 I think it’s automatic now

That's awesome! Bring back the good ol' days!

Imagine all the pin setters just vibing and talking about stuff behind the lanes

@@shoruda in

Honestly I'd prefer that part

Seems like a fun machine to run honestly

No, instead of alternating players between sets, you go through all your frames straight while your buddy does the work back there. Then when you're done, you switch roles.

@@h8GW No, you’re forced to be the pin setter the whole time because that makes the joke even funnier. Don’t be a buzzkill bruver! 😂

And the B3 on the pinsetter but he should have made it F3 to go with Funswick.

I mean he did say everything had to be half size

I'm not positive, but they look a lot like the balls used in candlestick bowling, except those don't have finger holes, so they may just be modded.

They are actually duck pin bowling balls .it's a thing on the east coast.

​@Dan Hart not just the east coast, we have them here in Washington.

Surprised how far down I had to scroll for this comment

Winter days are short.. 🤦‍♂️

@@ItalianoDio- days here refer to 24-hour days, not the daytime day

Until you watch a crime show where someone gets stuck in it

While he specified mechanical I’m pretty sure it automated in actual lanes

I used to have that job! Now, all the machines are fully automated, but theres almost always a mechanic on shift to keep the machines running when they break. It was a really fun job and I hope to come back sometime

I read that as "WAIT THERES BLACK PEOPLE THERE"

my grandpa was a pin setter back in the day before it was mechanical. he said that if people were mad, they would throw balls down the lane when he was still setting the pins up. actually pretty dangerous stuff lol

That should be ¼ then.

@@Steve_Kassiotis no. We have 3 dimensions. (1/2)^3 = 1/8

​​​​​@@camerongray7767what third dimension of the lane itself are you cutting in half? It's half length, half width, so 1/4 floor area. It doesn't have a height/depth, and even if you're counting that i don't think the height of a bowling lane is going to be your limiting factor for how much space you need. The lane is a 2 dimensional plane (with gutters on the side, the volume of the gutters would be 1/8 an actual alley's gutters). Or if you're talking about the pin setter, sure that specifically is 1/8 volume if it's also exactly half scale of a full alley's one.

just take turns

And somehow Nobody is acknowledging it

then you see the memes 💀

I knew someone would comment something about ohio😂😂😂

there is check the newest

That's what im sayin! I never knew there was a person back there. I thought it was robots.

Typically it would be a machine, but this person does it by hand

There is someone in charge of keeping up the machines put it should be automatic.

Most of the modern bowling alleys are automated, but back in the day people used to set the pins much like what you see here. My uncle used to be a pin setter when he was a young boy in the 60's

Back then, yeah it was the case

Me too

The ones you see in bowling alleys are, this one is by hand. There’s a great video on how the bowling alley pinsetters work (How does a Bowling Pinsetter Machine work? (Brunswick GS-X)) that goes into a lot of detail.

@@bredcubed1161 thank you

The hard part is getting the pins from the floor into the setter.

@@bobh6728 True. Maybe a magnetic base in the pins to place them in the correct location.

Yeah that would be super cool
