Home made spinner? look
« on: July 07, 2004, 07:44:12 PM »
I just drew somep lans in Paint, on the computer. There very rough mind you, but you get the idea. I would build 2 boxes from 2x4's and cover it with like 3/4 inch plywood. Also, I would make everything a little shorter, so its got less chance to vibrate a lot, and find something to bolt them both to. If I could find an old motor, which I most likely can, this would be much cheaper then buying a new spinner. Plus fun to build.

Learn how to use AutoCad kiddo.  Much more impressive.  The biggest problem with making your own spinner is the "bowl".  Then there are many other issues.

LOL no problem. I mean I think I can find a bowl to fit well, and mount it and all. I'll draw another crude drawing to show how I'd make the bowl.

Oh how crude...  *sigh*
Bearings to support the shafts? Shafts? Pulleys?  Getting it to run at a RPM that will keep it stable and be fast enough to actually use?  etc...?

crude, yes. I have thot about all that, bearings and such. Im not totally stupid. The hardest thing for me would be finding a good motor. As for the bowl, I would take a metal mixing bowl, drill a hole in the bottom, and for the shaft I'd use one of those shafts that have threads that go like4 inches down it. Put a bolt on the bottom, set the bowl down over it, then tighten down another bolt on top, the thinest bolt I could find, and cover the whole thing in some type of rubber.

Me thinks BK will have to change his name to TheOneEyedBowlingKid25 in the not so distant future.

All joking aside though, I really am pretty good with my hands. I always build things. Other people on here have built them, just because Im 16, doesnt mean I would hurt myself. I think things through about most things I could hurt myself doing.

Not worth all the trouble when you can buy one for $100 bucks used.. I have a Vertex 1/2 hp spinner and really see no way a home made unit is gonna work that well, if at all.. To many things have to be just right or its spinning to fast or too slow and the bowl is a whole other issue..

Like I said before, just not worth all the hassle..

If they only made a ball that would carry that da_n 7 pin (and I am right handed!!)
