I like pinball.
I'd like to build a machine, like this table,
Cabin Fever
Or this one,
Coconut Island
I have 3 problems however:
Time - I have none of that.
Money - Sadly I think I may have more money than time (and I don't have much money).
Space - If you have a pinball table, it should be seen and played (especially if you built it), I don't know where I would put a pinball machine.
Despite these (HUGE) drawbacks, I think I'm going to give it a shot. Maybe I can get a professor at school to sign off on it as a Senior project. Maybe not.
We'd like something that looks at good as the top table (video), but a little more complicated (probably still less complicated than the bottom one) for our first foray into pinball engineering.
Currently we are trying to design a table using Future Pinball.
Maybe I should just play golf instead. Who knows?

I am looking forward to the attempt.
I think you guys can get something playable going. Should be a lot of fun as well. =)
But I reserve the right to say I told you so. ;)
You can only say I told you so, if you make a firm affirmation that we will go down in flames. Otherwise, you can only say, I suspected as much.
Okay then.
I think you will get something that is somewhat funtional.
I think that you will both enjoy the experience and tinkering with stuff.
I think what you build will never be as much fun as a pin you buy.
How's that? heh
thats sounds like a great hobby...good luck!
I cant even put together a book shelf
We used to have a computer video game that allowed to design and "play" (virtually, of course) any number of pinball games.
It lacked a bit in color and sound, but it was free.
Maybe you can build a real one and recoup the money by having friends over with rolls of quarters to see if they can top that high score. Who knows, this might even become a new career field for you!
