Follow on Google News | Marvelous Marble Machine Reflects Lifelong PassionRichard Browne has been building Rube Goldberg-esque devices all his life. Now his latest roller maze presents a fun challenge for woodworkers to build at home.
Richard’s new marble machine is nearly three feet tall and holds 26 oversized marbles. It runs with a pleasing clatter as the marbles roll, spiral, and swoop through two crisscrossing routes on nearly 18 feet of track. Featuring ramps, chutes, a spiral staircase, and a dumping bucket, the machine runs for about six minutes as each marble to arrive at the base triggers the release of the next. Watch video of his amazing machine in action at http://www.scrollsawer.com/ Building Instructions for the Amazing Marble Machine Adventurous woodworkers can construct Richard’s marble tower at home to delight and astonish family and friends. His step-by-step instructions can be completed using just a few standard tools and materials.
