Awesome, absolutely awesome!  Have you estimated the final weight?

[FabMan]

Thanks!
Project about 380 lbs gross weight with the legs and cross rod.
The upper frame is removable and will only have the rods, players and goals attached when removing.
The lower frame will support the play field, goal returns and leg cross member brackets.

A little more work this weekend. Got the final prototype counterbalance player mocked up.  Needs polished.

Also mocked up the ball return for each end and sample tested the chemical patina for the frame.

I see I'm not the only one who uses hockey pucks off the ice!  Looking good, enjoy seeing the progress!

[FabMan]

haha. I don't even know why I have those pucks.

Thanks, progress finally. getting down to details now.

I made a rebound bar out of hockey pucks with attached bumper pool bumpers to practice catching odd angle rebounds within my 3 bar.  I set it up against the entire goal wall and blast shots from the 5 bar (3 bar up until the shot clears).

Can anyone provide me the Tornado T-3000 play field line location dimensions that are on the T-3000 play field?

Thanks in advance!

Got a little more work done;

Making some progress. test fit the counterbalance nut heads on the players.  Installed bearings and rods and aligned and drilled roll pin holes.

[FabMan]

Table and components are being prepped for shipment and is scheduled to be shipped, installed and completed 1/18-23 if the weather holds up.
Will update if all goes well!

Very cool! Thanks for all of the pics and updates. How does it play?

[FabMan]

Well, we've never had it completely together to test. We're going to find out at the customer's home when it's done. Going to be interesting. He has a few friends that are serious foosballers. I know the action will be a little slower due to the weight of the men. And hopefully, won't need ear plugs!  haha
