My Darts Buddy

[mc1958]

Wasn't sure where to post this - here seems as good a place as any lol.

Just got this handy little lump of ash from ebay for £5.95 posted (UK - not sure about overseas) - for an extra £1 you can have your name or whatever engraved on the back (max of 6 letters including spaces).

Neat little idea, it measures approx 50mm x 50mm x 20mm so small enough to fit in your shirt pocket during match night.

View from the top - as you can see it has a little slot that can be used to hold some spare flights, 2 brass inserts with a 2ba thread for a couple of spare stems, and 3 holes to hold your fully loaded darts:

On the bottom there are another couple of slots which are big enough to hold a flat sharpening stone, some spare rings/springs or flight protectors if you use them - these need to be in little bags in order to stop them falling out - I just put a couple of flat sharpening stones in them as I don't use springs:

I just need to start playing for a team again so I can try it out properly Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.


As I said above I got this off ebay, but there is now a facebook page for them as well under the name My Darts Buddy - looks like you can get mahogany or oak from the FB page, but engraved is 50p dearer (same price unengraved)

That's a really nice piece of kit... May try to make one myself haha

If you do try then here's some additional info/measurements for you:

- the holes for the darts are a nylon bush inset with super glue and drilled out to 2.3mm, which is apparently smaller than the diameter of a dart point

- the stem bushes are also inset using super glue

- the flight pocket on top is approximately 18mm deep

- the spares pockets on the base are approximately 15mm deep
