Massive Marble Run from Outer Space - 20 Days Out

- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- I have 20 days to complete this massive Marble Run project to have it ready in time for the Western Idaho Fair.
Currently, I estimate I have about another 60 hours of work left on the project.
The table top is 42 inches in diameter, and the tallest point is about 24 inches from the top of the table. I am using three 12v DC motors to power the auger lift, magnetic lift, and "walking carpet". I've lost count of how many LED lights I've wired into the project =). Everything runs off of a 12v deep cycle marine battery, set in the base.
Woods used: Maple, beech, walnut, cherry, apricot, oak, poplar, alderwood and mahogany.
My son saw this today at the Western Idaho Fair, he studied it as best he could from a distance and wanted to know how it’s made. Thanks for the QR code directing us to your channel. We watched the Auger video. He’d love to see more videos of you making it.
That is awesome! I've got plans for several additional videos. If there's something specific he'd like, let me know and I'll make sure and cover it soon.
Nice job!
Thank you!
Wow, very well done. I have your other one book marked I like it so much as well. Really like the uniqueness you incorporate unlike so many others you see, congrats. I was wondering if the lift was a marble pump or is it some other mechanism?
Thank you for the kind words! As you've already noted, it's an auger lift. I'll be posting a video down the line showing some of the internals of the lift.
Fun! Does the table have adjustable feet in case it is placed in a location where the floor is out of level?
Great question! Right now the table just has locking casters, but I want to upgrade them to something like these leveling casters (www.amazon.com/Leveling-Upgraded-Adjustable-Workbench-Capacity/dp/B0C5GQNNST?th=1)
Sorry just opened up the description and saw the auger lift note. Approx how many hours total do you have into this project?
This project has taken a little over six months, about 3 hours a day after work during the week and about 12 hours over the weekends, so best guestimate is about 650-700 hours total. I have to have it ready to go on Monday, and am really wishing I had another week.... =)
We saw this today! It’s exceptional and captivating.
