How to Make Skeeball With Ease!

Hi! I am Travis Hoogstra I attend Illiana Christian Highschool and I decided that I wanted to make my favorite arcade game in a way that allowed me to play at home. For my design, I used marbles as a smaller skeeball.

Required

1. CNC
2. Fusion 360
3. Table Saw
4. Drill
5. 6ft of 1ft by 3/4inch wood of choice
6. 12* 2in Screws
7. Marbles

Optional

1. Laser Cutter
2. 3⅓ft of acrylic
3. 4* 2in Nails
4. 4* 2in Screws

I first brainstormed how I wanted my game to work then I came up with a rough sketch of my idea.

I designed the components, then I connected them with the join feature.

I took my original piece of wood and cut it into the base I used the remaining wood to form the back and cut the game face.

I used the CNC to cut the holes in the game face of the board. I also cut out the bottom stop to keep the marbles from rolling down the ramp.

After I used the CNC to cut out the holes in the top board I predrilled some holes and started screwing everything together. For the last part of assembly, I added a ramp to launch the marbles onto the board for some sweet skeeball action.

In this last step, I used some acrylic to keep the marbles from bouncing out of the game space!

Now you are done and can have fun playing skeeball with friends and family.
