My finished Marble Run Chest

My finished Marble Run ChestA few pictures of my completed Marble Chest with a few modifications. All moving contraptions work as planned, and build time took months of very complicated problem-solving. A very rewarding project to take on. My table saw, belt sander, band saw were built by me 50 years ago with metal alum parts from a kit using plywood, tempered Masonite and oak. These tools still work OK, but require much more adjusting, because they don't adjust like the expensive metal ones. I did buy a small scroll saw for the detailed work.

End Table of Quartet Sawn White Oak

(from Lumberjocks.com)


End Table of Quartet Sawn White OakI just finished my end table project and I'm ready for peer review.
This is the 2nd time I've made this table. Things get better with practice and then some things get worse. I think it depends more on the day and your mood than your skill.
It was, however, the first time I've sprayed polyurethane. I loved it! I won't dread that step as much as I used to anymore.
