King Pin gets a Topper?
« on: May 25, 2009, 10:24:57 PM »
Watching my eldest son at ten pin bowling today, and had a brilliant idea! lol

This is my new toy:

Ty RB :)

Anyway can you imagine how good (or shite) would a topper made from real tenpins look?
I asked the sons coach, and she is giving me old 4 tenpins! My idea is to cut them in-half, and line-em-up across the top of the backbox. Screw them to a 1 inch backing plate, evenly spaced, then screwed in top of the backbox. Its either gunna look tops or crappy, I guess I wont know till I sit em up there.

Oy Greg
Have a look at my recent post "Toppers"
How about adding your piccys to it?
There are already some rippers on there and I'd love to see it grow.

So are you going to polish up the ten-pins first?

Looking forward to the pics.
