Make a 2 Player Pinball Game // X-Carve Project

[@MAKE]

Holy crap Cris, I love this project. Awesome to see a completely mechanical pinball table. Would love to hear more about the game design - does the ball cross over to the other player's table? Or do you play two simultaneous games?

[@GetHandsDirty]

+Make: Thank you very much!! Yes, the ball travels to the other table side, depending on the angle you hit it. You can came up with your own rules but what we are going for here is that both players start with too balls - one hidden in one of the cross spinning obstable and one being pushed by the plunger, starting at the same time. At almost every take, at least one ball ends up going the other side so if both players loose 2 balls at the flippers, we score it 1 - 1. If player A looses 3 or 4 balls, the point goes to player B, so 0 - 1. Progressively add points until one of them get to 5. Then, the winner stays and another player faces the winner.

[@GarageLoot]

This is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. How is this not a thing yet.

[@skeven0]

+Garage Loot there is actually a 2player pinball machine from the 80's or 70's in the pinball hall of fame

[@becomingjoana]

did anyone say it was something new or revolutionary though? the point of this was to give a new look to a pinball game, which is exactly what she did. it's made of different materials, it has a personalized look and it's analogic. the 2 player part is also different because we can switch the rules however we want - 1 ball, or 2, or 3 or 4 in the same gameplay, etc. if you had one exactly like this one, show us then.

[@UXBen]

I'm 20 seconds into the video and already love the concept! This is way more fun than traditional pinball. As soon as I have my shop back running I'm totally making one!

[@inventables]

Agreed! Playing with two people is way more fun than just one person. Great job, Cris!

[@GetHandsDirty]

:D Thanks guys! Happy you enjoy it just by watching.

[@Kari-tu3fs]

This is awesome, your awesome. I have had a little bit of trouble understanding you at times, due to how fast you speak, could you slow down your speech a little bit. Thanks.

[@scott110699]

I saw this concept a while back, but it was not even close to this scale. All it was was a tiny board with flippers at either end with no obstacles. Your version of this idea is by far the best I have seen

[@jamonraz]

Wow! Been watching wood working videos for years and this is hands down among the best projects ever.. respect!!

[@GetHandsDirty]

Cool, glad to hear that!

[@ryantrue9372]

I have no idea who you are, or about your channel, or how this video came up on my suggested play list. But I think it's awesome!! I love how you explained things and gave tips in a field I've never even researched. You gave me great ideas and inspiration for a project I'd never dreamed of. And earned a like & subscribe from me. I look forward to diving into your other videos. Bravo!

[@upcycledscraps513]

Probably this is the dopest things on KZbin right now....

[@PaskMakes]

Love it Love it Love it Cris!! The idea and how you carried it off is outstanding! :D

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thanks Pask!! So happy to hear that :D

[@TheOffcut]

Wow Cris! This is an awesome project!!! Such a cool idea and well worth the time and effort! Love it!

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thanks a lot my friend!

[@fortzero1552]

Very nice and original idea ! I'm glad to see that people are still keeping alive a pinball culture.

[@patrick_myers]

I can't describe how amazing this is without using expletives, so I'll just stand up and applaud instead.

[@randomnoobpt]

I did never heard of this channel before though I'm from Portugal too. This is the kind of content and creaters that should get recognized, not the gaming youtubers that copy content from outside and have a toxic community that follow them. Espero que cresças no futuro ;)

[@TwimWolfgang]

por fin! Llevamos mucho tiempo con ganas de ver tus proyectos! Esta idea es fantástica!!! Ahora nos debes la segunda parte de la cocina! :P

[@michael-rommel]

Really cool, as I already said - the idea is just sooo good, at some point I'll have to make a version with a little bit of electronics for scoring mainly, but maybe light and sound as well! Hat tip to Joana for helping you in the build! 🖐🏼

[@GetHandsDirty]

:D thank you Michael! I'm sure yours is going to blast!

[@EduardoTorresDeMadera]

This is an amazing work. Thumbs up! You also convinced me that my next purchase is this CNC that I've been looking for a long time. Keep it this work indeed deserve an award!

[@PinballMan]

Great Job. I plan to get a CNC machine to help finish my pinball machine and future ones that are in the works. Love the 2 player idea.

[@Gloubi06]

Very inventive and well realized project, congrats! It's actually a great idea to have a double-sided/Dual players flipper, and never seen this before. Respect!

[@MikeUCV]

Wow Cristiana! What can't you do??? You are simply amazing!

[@SteeveEfnet]

One of the best tutorials Ive seen on KZbin.

[@genghisbunny]

Very cool idea. Having the footage of people playing adds a lot to the video as well. I really enjoy the work you do.

[@RedSmithWorkshop]

Great idea to turn a 1 player game into a 2 players game. Very nice project. 😊👍

[@victorporto5698]

It looks awesome ! You've done a really great work with the shape and the colors of the obstacles, the design and the project itself are fantastic ! Cheers Victor

[@metaspencer]

Your precision is so, so impressive. Another great, fun project!

[@dmphotography.prints]

You are such a bad ass!!!! i'm so into your videos. And i'm not even close to being a builder/maker/whatever. And i completely appreciate the quality on your filming/editing details!

[@arcademoica1627]

Such an inspiring work of art. Your approach of pinball kinectics is refreshing and your woodworking skills are off the hook! I'm looking forward for your next projects!

[@norm1124]

Love the cactus inlays, incredible project.

[@soonersciencenerd383]

1 suggestion- eye protection. Everything else is really cool! I'm making mine with clipboards and yardsticks and repurposed screws and telephone bells. I'm using only hand tools and a Dremel tool. Great video!

[@BillSinWorkshop]

Woooooow Cris that's a crazy awesome project. You're really working hard for the details...

[@MRrwmac]

Wow Christiana! That double player was a great idea!! And the build may have taken longer than expected but was excellent! You are an amazing and creative person!

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thank you so much!

[@frankmuller5649]

Wow... thats the most entertaining and fun project I have seen in a long time... awesome! Thank you so much for sharing... keep on exploring... awesome!

[@SmokyFrosty]

This needs some more publicity!!

[@jonmcgaw2353]

As a pinball enthusiast and collector I hope stern and jersey jack see this video and see your potential! Well made video might I add and great carpentry

[@johnconklin9039]

That is an absolutely great project! I've always wanted a pinball machine and this is an awesome way to get one.

[@correia707]

"Vê lá se queres levar com uma bola n...." :) Parabéns, ficou excelente. A ideia está genial, flippers para 2 jogadores!

[@ydswd2003]

This is your best project so far! One Word, Amazing!

[@mcr2582]

Not sure if anyone said this already (I'm not sure how to search comments), but the cracks in acrylic you reference is called "crazing". It occurs because of uneven heat stresses introduced into the material during cutting. The heating and cooling puts the cut edge under tension. It's very common in laser cutting but can occur when any process (even sanding.) Solvents like acetone and alcohol will soften the acrylic enough to release the tension in the form of tiny cracks. The only way to avoid it is to keep the material cool during cutting, anneal it afterwards (a slow heating process that requires a timed oven), remove the heat stressed edge (with a router or jointer, but while not adding new stresses,) or avoid the use of solvents. Unfortunately, all acrylic glues, CA and its activator, alcohol and especially acetone will cause this. A safe solvent is naphtha though it may not be available in all countries. They sell it here in the same section as paint solvents. Epoxy is probably a safe adhesive though I'm not 100% sure, CA is better than acrylic glues, but can still cause it. Cast acrylic is more resistant to this than extruded. Mirror acrylic is always extruded.

[@BronkBuilt]

What an awesome idea. Just put it on my project list. I don't have a cnc but no reason it is needed. Hopefully I can get down the project list enough to do this soon. I really like it.

[@rholt2]

This was a wonderful project! so many insights on how to do different jobs within the whole thing! It may have taken longer than you originally planned, but the detail/outcome seems well worth it. keep up the GREAT work! Russ from Coral Springs, Florida, USA

[@LetsPrepTogether]

Awesome concept and great build! It looks like a lot of fun. Also congrats to getting that support from Inventables i'm sure there will be many great projects invovling the xcarve!

[@andrewdolinskiatcarpathian]

Extraordinarily inventive. Artistic craftsmanship.

[@taikobasher]

WOW that is a fantastic project, a lot in it but nothing really to complex, great work.

[@KetoFromScratchdiet]

Estávamos com saudades!!! She is back !

[@samaker4]

Wow Cris that is a CRAZY amount of work! Great job getting it done. It looks fantastic!

[@ivanmegafanboy1981]

Mmh, yes, that looks quite fun. I would have loved to see it in action a little more. Like a competitive match. But this pinball table is adorable. This is truly a spectacular craft.

[@TheWoodKnight]

The multi-material/contrasting colour parts look fantastic. I really like the red and blue on the birch!

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thanks Paul! Yes, some of these colours look fantastic...the blue is beautiful and deep. A bit like the Bosch Blue ahah

[@DueLosGaming]

This has to be one of the coolest things I've seen on KZbin!

[@PJGalati]

Really enjoyed the build, it's been years since I've even played pinball, much less thought about building one! I like the mix of materials you used and the overall design too.

[@CptFuzzball]

Man, you got more creativity in one pinky finger than I got in my whole body :D

[@The_Black_Knight]

Excellent creativity. Keep up the good work. Kudos from an old pinball collector.

[@zachwolfrom4522]

Awesome project, your channel never gets old. Thank you.

[@markmccreary6972]

Awesome project, my grand kids would love it. Keep up the great work.

[@MichaelKieweg]

That is one heck of a game build! Congratulations!

[@thetomster7625]

gotta say: just the idea for the game mode itself is already pretty fuckin creative! Kudos!

[@eln74]

Wow..... Tnx Cris, you make us happier one project at a time!!

[@eleleonono7172]

Wow 😳 you're tremendously skilled ! Congratulations ! It turns out soooo cool 😍

[@CristyBacchi89]

Wow Cris you keep surprising us!! That's simply super cool! And I love how you make it look so easy, when I know all the work and efforts that must behind a project...

[@Edu_RJR]

this is such a great idea damn, 2 player pinball, and the table ended up looking so smooth

[@SawDustMakerRJM]

One of your best projects. Well done Cris!!!

[@00schralf]

I just built a portable mini pinball game and used clothespins for the mechanism. But now I found your video and think about an updated version with some similar mechanism as yours 😂 Cheers 💪👍

[@ChazEvansdale]

This is so very cool :) I don't know how you can keep making so many designs that I love; you never cease to amaze me! :)

[@ddexpress]

Like the pinball table, excellent work- makes me want to get up and start making one myself.

[@cristianjesus8714]

wooooow. excelente trabajo. tu video está mejorado. y me encantaron las tomas de Oporto con el dron. congratulations Christiana excellent job. i love it.

[@camieva24]

Your work, craft, and designs are amazing!

[@boomerang1984]

Simply amazing! GHD and Cactus workshop your are the best!!!

[@natecz8141]

This is going to be my Christmas present for my daughters this year

[@ProyectoMueble]

Impresionante como te superas con cada proyecto, excelente video y la mesa de pinball está genial! un saludo Grande Cris!

[@marcoabrahammezawust7454]

No pensé encontrarte por aquí ! genial leerte mi hermano!

[@gkkent]

This is AMAZING!! You inspire us with your vision, skill, and attention to detail!!

[@nathanvancil9019]

Incredible!! Honestly an amazing idea with excellent execution. I'm sitting here astonished watching you make this. Great job!!!

[@IsaKocoglu]

You are very fortunate to own a CNC router. I'll have to build this fun project with a coping saw instead 😔 I'm looking forward to building this one of these days. Thank you for the great idea 😁

[@VroladesignIta]

This is a super cool project! You are great Cris!

[@robertoms]

This is so awesome, congratulations Cristiana!

[@ryandalbeos]

For all the Tech Videos ive seen on youtube... this kind of channel takes me out. I remember making Pin Ball Game when i was grade school...

[@rivergate]

That looks really fun. Excellent work on the game play creativity too. Brilliant.

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thanks!

[@asmallbird9837]

Such a cool and simple Idea that seems to have turned out really well! Makes me want to see a 4-player version, or maybe even something a little stranger like a 3-player table

[@CY1RG]

ingenious concept. by releasing more pinballs u have more ammo against your opponent but u also have more pinballs to deal with

[@gotmunchiez]

Great job, best project I've seen on KZbin in a while!

[@Ivar_Mennes_]

I dont know how I got here but it made my day, thanks

[@9Biloela99]

Wow one of your best projects so far

[@reforzar]

Best pinball game ever. Two player is an awesome idea.

[@GetHandsDirty]

Thanks Brian!

[@JolienBrebels]

This is so cool! Wonderful! And so cool to have a X-carve machine!

[@desertwolf974]

I like your friend's Bach shirt. Excellent video! Very informative! Kudos!

[@bernardhoudelet7566]

Bonjour . superbe idée. Je suis fan de votre site. Bravo à vous et j'attends la prochaine vidéo. A bientôt. Bernard

[@ConwayT91]

This project turned out amazing!!! Lots of really precise work, job well done!

[@zagaberoo]

Love the clean aesthetic of the table; great project!

[@makervic2990]

One of the most creative thing I've seen in a while. Obrigado por compartir. Se ve super divertido!!

[@Metalvain4]

Awesome! Has a doctor's office toy vibe. Well done.

[@medinachete73]

Thanks a lot for your inspiration. I love that two glues' trick you show.

[@BDM_PT]

Hi there from Portugal(Coimbra) Great Idea, Nice project :D Obrigado(Thanks)

[@DavidParker]

Great video, great project and the pinball table looks beautiful!

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yes, this is a cool idea to play against each other !

[@aaronsmith5900]

Cool stuff! Reminds me of NES's Rock 'N Ball game. In that game there is an option to move the flippers into a more offensive mode where there are flippers on the opponents side of the board. It would be cool as a trade off to have a forward flipper to put pressure on the opponent when the ball is on their side.

[@TATs_ttt]

This project rocks! You should be very proud of it! Thank you for sharing

[@marctric]

Mas que ótima ideia !!! Nunca tinha visto um pinball para dois jogadores. E esse "pinball a dois", pode ser tanto competitivo, um contra o outro, como colaborativo, onde os dois jogadores tentam estabelecer um recorde de tempo por exemplo. Parabéns pela execução perfeita. 🍎🍎🍎

[@GetHandsDirty]

Muito obrigada!

[@MrNoobGold]

É muito bom ver uma maker portuguesa .... Obrigado

[@DiodePress]

Such a cool idea, and it turned out great!

[@Woodified]

This is awwwwwwwesome! This is on my project list if I ever get an X-Carve.

[@LibertyWoodworking]

use a scroll saw. no need for a expensive machine

[@LivefreeanddiyTv]

This was a really cool idea... big project! 🤓👍

[@robevans8555]

Fantastic, one of the best projects I've seen 👍

[@mecjagger]

This is amazing. Super happy to be a patreon supporter. Stay awesome!

[@iselenil2316]

I looooooove pinball!!! But this is the best!!! Awsome!!!! Great job! Love it! Geetings from Uruguay!

[@gonzalorosario1278]

Excellent Pinball, I´m jealous!!! Great Work!!!

[@sabeaniebaby]

This is the best thing I have ever seen. Added to my wish list (maybe I should acquire a saw first).
