plans for building a scrum machine?

looking for plans to have a welding shop build us a scrum machine, simply do not have the $6000-10000 these companies are asking for!

Hi Ian,

Unfortunately your problem isn't an uncommon one and we have had similar questions in the past. I've attached links to two scrum machine questions from our archives, I hope the information in the answers will be able to help:

Does anyone have a drawing for a scrum machine?

Hello Chris and Ian,

Sorry but Sportplan automatically removes external links and email addresses. This is done to prevent spam but is also done to avoid users receiving lots of unsolicited emails asking for them to repeatedly send information.

We have just gone through our recent removed links and found Chris' link (click to expand in a new page).

All the best,

From stories of similar situations I advise against building your own. All it takes is for an injury/accident to happen when using a home made scrum machine and insurance won't pay out, you will have unhappy parents (if at junior level).
Would oyu trust a doctor who taught himself medicine because he couldn't afford the university course? No so why risk it here ?
