My finished Marble Run Chest
Furnished content.
(from Lumberjocks.com)
A 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. I plan to add clear plexiglass from a photo frame to each side of the springboard to make it more consistent having the marble hit the bell each time. Furthermore, I am trying to make the escarpment feed the marbles slower, so you can see all the contraptions better one at a time.
