Disc Bowls...

[norman]

Ok Question. I would like to buy a complete set of disc bowls. Not for me for a member of our club who wants to start a competition up. He,s been trying to track them down on the internet but has come to a dead end. I dis the same exercise some years ago on the old forum and got some answers BUT beening a few tears older now Iv,e forgotten. please somebody come up with the goods..

Liesure Coast Wanderers, can't remember his first name but the surname is Bolt, but they will know. He makes them, complete with a carry caddy, pegs, ropes for the rink with loop knots just in the right places, a kitty ball and rules sheet. No idea of the price these days.

Norman, I would try the head office of the cmca. They encourage disc bowls with a fervour, so if they don't sell em, I reckon they would be able to put you onto someone who does. Lotsa luck.

Thanks for that Deb, I have have been in touch and they have sent a email to the guy Terry said made them and asked if he would respond. So far nothing, but theres time yet...

Anybody with a lathe and the time and the sizes would be able to knock them up in no time.
They are just discs of MBF or similar material. Bore the centre hole with a expanda bit or forstner bit and then hold by the centre in a jaw chuck and turn to size and add chamfer.
You would have to check weights till you had the first one in the required range and then just duplicate.
