Wooden Marble Machine

Son and I built this over 10-12 hours from 678 laser cut parts
punched out from plywood sheets. Tedious process, but worth it
in the end. This machine uses batteries and a motor to power
it, but my end goal is to power it from my Jensen 51 Replica's
ample DC power output. Fun project, but be prepared for sore
thumbs and a lot of coffee!

That sure is a cool kit...
Loads going on there, when it positions itself to transport
those marbles.
Thanks for sharing Rog!
PS.
Your video updates have been sorely missed, and it was a true
treat getting one served here.
My fingers is firmly crossed, that you swiftly manage to get
this kit hooked up to the 51R, so i can get another "fix" from
the Temple of Steam.

Thanks Jan...I WILL be posting more videos in the near future. I
have been restoring a tired Jensen 50 with the help of Bruce
from SPS. I have been taking photos and videos along the way,
so will be posting the entire process soon. Marble machine was
an unexpected pleasure built with my son who was visiting for a
week...I would have taken twice as long to build it if not for
him!

I just got this kit from my girlfriend for Christmas and had a
wonderful time building it up over a few nights! Not powered
yet, but it has some super small LEDs and a hand crank that both
beg to be hooked to an engine. Where did you find the one you
got? It's such a large scale!

My marble machine kit was made by company "Wood Trick" and found
it on Amazon. Glad you enjoyed the model you got, they are kind
of addictive (third kit for me). Built two with my grandson and
the big marble machine with my son...great bonding time.

A really cool build Roger and son! The video is good too.
Running it with your generator will be fun. I may have to find
one of those kits.
Good job.
