| And here is mine. Made a stand myself, because the small walls and the constant 'pokpokpok' sound would bother the neighbours and the lady of the house. Love to play in the living room, so i can follow the football matches \-) |

| I didn’t take any pictures while building the stand. But made some quick plans to show the process of making one. Sorry for my crappy english I used pinewood, with section 44 x 44 mm (as I am from Belgium, I’ll use the metric method) Step 1I started making the floorplatform, just 4 pieces of wood attached to each other. Step 2Then I made the vertical stand. (again 4 pieces of wood). Step 3The vert. stand and the floorplatform are attached to each other using two srews. So it’s easily to break the stand down, to replace it or store it after play. Step 4For the stability I’ll used 2 pieces of wood to make a triangle in the back Step 5+6To attach it, i’ll used 2 srews and 2 hinges. Step 7Attache the board and start the fun Stands like a block in the living room The backboard is decorated with some curtain, with silences the sound |

| [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]My darts setup. Blade 4 board. Great board, though the bulleye wore through pretty quickly 2-3 months. Now the bull seems like its real loose pack on top and super hard beneath it. Could be a result of using perpetually dull darts. Spider is awesome. Its in my garage, so I affixed an outdoor motion sensor flood light to my ceiling aimed at the dart board about nine feet back, directly over head when throwing. illuminates it really well plus I love to wander out there at night and have the light just click on. Plus when I'm sleepy and a little drunk I don't have to fight to remember to turn it off! Also makes ya feel like youre on tv heh. Also featured are my home made practice rings. they help tons. Since I started using them I've went from an average of around 35-30 dart games to 20-25 dart games. Best part is, in the last couple of months I've gotten to the point where I've been on a finish long before 20 darts, but always botch the finish so I know there is huge potential to improve on. Something I didn't notice before using the rings when I'd just play other practice games like half it. |

| Current setup in the garage in our 2 bedroom townhouse [img] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/img] [img] [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.][/img] MEGA SCOREBOARD MK I - Perspex on ply. Liquid Chalk Marker. PS. Haven't saved the 180-140-100 scores for a while. Not that there'd be too many extra 180's [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]A little hard to see. I the design saved on Word but I'm not sure i can attach it here? Got games of Half It, Mickey Mouse/Tactics/Burma Road(Basically American Cricket with extra numbers Doubles, Trebles and 3 in a Bed)) Round the Word and obviously space for '01 games Anyway just about to move house and have a separate rumpus room for darts, music etc. So will be hoping to have a nicer setup, with webcam, proper surround, TV, stereo and of course MEGA SCOREBOARD MK II. |
