Answers:
-Why no motor?
I wanted it to keep it as simple as possible for everyone! Future video will cover this
-These are no basic tools!?
You may or may not have a soldering iron but I consider something that you can buy for under 20 bucks pretty basic. A drill is something everyone has or at least know someone with one :)
-What soldering iron do I need?
Almost any will do but a fine point is recommended.
-Where do you get that universal flux?
You don't need to have this specific type. Most will do. Or try some different brands and see what works the best. If anyone knows a good combination sold in the USA let me know!
-What is the base made of?
Its black MDF

Thanks it’s really cool.
Hi Daniel. How do you go about making downward spiral tracks? Would you make a straight section then shape it down? Or would you make the shape with one piece of wire, duplicate it then solder together? I'm currently in the process of making my own machine, and this is the hardest part for me. Thanks!
@@micklivi92 Hey! the same process as for making a 180 turn, just bend it around a round piece and again with a smaller piece for the other rails. Then shape it by hand to the correct size, and start adding crosspieces to form it in the final shape. Hope this helps!
I like this videos I dont stand inglish good
bro, a channel named "Un Poco De Todo" recommended your channel, it's a really good channel man, hope you can grow so much:)
This might be the one! Hope the algorithm finds you!
my own little Neo would be cool. If the matrix finds it indeed.

@@danielbruin I'm here thanks to the algorithm! Spreek je Nederlands?
@@My_Op Yes! jazeker :)
Instructions too clear, now have a marble track through my entire house... 🙂
Marbles stuck in the ceiling fan.
Wait what lol
Nice
For real?
Your house is small
If you've ever done highly detailed, extremely exacting work with your hands, you'll have some idea of how talented and experienced a craftsman Daniel is. And the video is, of course, fabulous. The amazing thing is that whole project, however complex Daniel's design for it may be, is created with a spool of wire and a coil of solder and expertise with a soldering gun. Brilliantly simple, and truly beautiful. A thing of beauty is a joy forever!
I’m trying to build the spiral right now and it’s crazy hard. The precision needed and soldering skill is significant
I don't know why I keep watching this but I can't stop
me siento de la misma forma
@@kanna-kamuiUwU No sé si es porque es informal o entretenido o qué.

Thanks Martin! Love to see you making one 😅
Hi Martin
Wow... Martin dropped in on this. This is awesome.
*eagerly awaits the first compositions for the MMX*
@@danielbruin thank you to both of you for helping me to see this cool video
Exactly who I expected to see here
Nice. I made one for my daughter ~30 years ago out of welding rod & copper wire - very similar construction. I included switching gates, a bell, and as "water wheel" with a little man made of wire who did acrobatics on a crank coming out the side. Fun, but it soon got bent.
Your techniques are better than mine were, particularly the wire-forming and possibly the materials.
@John E Great comment in this day of “I do/did it better”. You sir are a gentleman. You are actually the first one I have met on youtube!
Me taking detailed mental notes on how to do this even though I don’t have most of the tools and doubt I’ll go out and buy them
ruclips.net/video/jMw2yxth1Q4/видео.html
EXCELLENT video-Thanks will be doing with my grandchildren
I don't even care about the marble track, but your editing is AMAZING. Basically perfect. It puts the biggest channels on youtube to shame. How long did this take you? How much footage did you work with? I wish I could get as good as you one day
Thanks man! This took me 5 days to film and edit. the actual time for making the marble track would be only 6 hours or so. I got like 3 hours and 200 shots i needed to edit down to 6 min. Was a fun project!
@@danielbruin Only 6 hours? Even with this great video as example, this it would take me days to do something so good
@@Alnidru I guess it isn't the first he built. 😜
But Yes, 6 h is impressive. I would guess 10 times more.
Totally agree, editing like a boss!
@@danielbruin you make it look so easy . But this come from years of experience. Thanks for sharing. Inspiring.
You made it look like a piece of cake. This stuff takes skills and time.
Patience and a place to work (kitchen table + cardboard box under your bed)is what you need, skill comes later. Sure, your 1st ×100 soldier joints wont look awesome but you will get better. When I was 15 I got a cheapy soldering iron and a electronics kit and by the second night of staying up past bedtime watching How-To vids and practice I had some awful looking functional circuit boards.
Soldering non circuitry is easier because you dont to worry about letting out the magic smoke.
Tl;Dr This project is possible for anyone who can hold a pencil and have a flat surface
It is a piece of cake for skillful people like us. But for you it will take time
Incredible! This reminds me of a parent-student DIY competition my youngest daughter's school participated in 15 years ago. My wife and I dedicated our time, working with my daughter's class to create marble roller coasters. Daniel's ideas are exceptional and inspire me to build a smaller-scale version myself. Thank you for the fantastic inspiration and for taking me on a nostalgic trip down memory lane.
Well, yet another hobby to try. One day the wife might finally make me sleep in the garage, then we can both be happy!
Lmao, Amen
"The wife." Not sure why this should be funny... I guess sexist jokes have a long history...
@@Astronomynatureandmusic Not as long as my marriage feels.
@@philipyates3194 If you're joking, you got me there. If not, please consider some good counseling and rethinking of what marriage means...
@@Astronomynatureandmusic If you think someone using the term "the wife" is somehow sexist, please do explain.
That was an amazing tutorial I didn't even know I wanted to make one of these until I saw you make this and show me how to do it. Bravo great job
Beauuuuuuutiful demonstration - not just of this project - but how ALL project instructional videos should be made.
You have the inspiration AND you did your‘perspiration’.
Superb.
Things like this are what RUclips is really for.
Going to make this for my kids, they are going to love it!
Nice! Good luck!
This is actually insanely good. Gonna start my own marble track next Week. Just amazing. Thanks a lot man.
Good luck! (And patience)
Forget the fact this has zero practical functionalities, this is still the best thing I’ve seen this year! 🤯
thats an art
How can you say that! Your unimaginable piece of human!
This is how ping pong balls are lifted up from the net to refill in the ping pong robot. Pretty much practical while making ping pong robot.
this man is way way way too under-appreciated, the amount of effort put into just this one video amazes me.
Idk how many times I have watched this video, but I love it more and more each time!
This human is a genius...👏👏
This is the best tutorial I have seen. Thanks for sharing.
Imagine a rollercoaster like this where you are seated in a giant gyroscopic ball
😂😂You just have to keep dreaming
Imagine a system malfunction where the gyroscope stops working and you just start rolling really fast. Worst nausea you will ever feel. haha
Nah I can't imagine that one aye.
Its unimaginable bro
Imagine people puking in a rolling ball.
It would be barf central
Thanks for sharing. Although you made this look so easy, there is zero chance that someone like me can make this. But get enormous satisfaction just from watching the finished product!
i've always been fascinated by these things. Back in the 1980's, I remember seeing a huge on mounted on the wall at a pizza joint. It had "direction gates" and allowed the marble to trigger gates and alternate marbles to follow different paths. Parts to make this seem easily available and cheap. I think I will try and make a few track pieces and see how it goes! ..maybe the hardest part is finding the steel balls.
I will build my first track this weekend, just got all the tools and componets together. So excited!! thank you for this amazing little but perfectly thorough tutorial!!
Ooo howd it go?
It's been a year, how'd it go?
@@figgleston He's lost his marbles, clearly
Robin must have died
@@RedstoneMiner18 for me 2 years
When I was kids, i saw a huge marble coaster at shopping mall, and this remind me my childhood. Now I became 30 but I will try make it. Looks so fun to make it 🙆
wow, this is great, perfect! I wish I had as much free time to build or try to build a device like this.
Thanks Daniel for this primer. It's a good starting point for the first timer. I've watched a lot of RUclips videos but this one Illustrates the first steps in making one. I was particularly interested in the detail about the spacing. Not too wide and not too small. In some of the other vids I've seen people use a clamping tool they make that holds the wire exactly the width they want. Basically two rectangular blocks with grooves for the wire width with a screw and wingnut in the center for easy clamping. Got to start someplace. Thank you for the video.
You deserve a million subscribers! 😍 that was a beautifully laid, breathtaking video.
Thanks for sharing! I especially liked the tip about how to make perfect spirals, I've been struggling with that.
At first I was imagining a CNC bender, lots of programming, dc motors, and tons of tig welding. You made this look simple, now I gotta make one.
Drooling! Want one for my office desk especially when waiting on hold!
This was a real treat.
It would be illuminating to make a “rube goldberg” device using the signs, the tracks and other tricks.
I haven't heard that expression in many years Rube Goldberg not Too Many know who that person was❗🤔
Hi Daniel, found a compressed version of this vid on interesting engineering, shared that one on linkedin and now a friend of mine has challenged me to jointly build one of these tracks, together with our kids! Of to gonna read the FAQs now... This is inspiring, thanx! 😀
This could be the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. Thank you.
Utterly mesmerizing... simply outstanding.
とても感動しました！！！
I was very impressed!!!
日本人みっけ！
Pretty dope. Looks like something you'd see in a doctor's office
Beautiful to look at and see in action. Very clever. Impressed.
You could sell these for a fortune! Amazing!!!
This is cool. Especially because it only requires basic tools. I imagine this technique used for pinball ramps.
One of the best things on internet !!
Brilliant Daniel!! Absolutely brilliant. Thank you for posting.
I love your creative process! Satisfying to watch.
Love this video! I just found it now.
Edit: You're from the Netherlands too?
And congrats on 5 million views in just a month!
Thanks!! I'm indeed! my workshop is in Soesterberg. Have you seen my Moniac too (see other video)? think you'll love it (irl) Jullie zaten toch ook ooit in de buurt van Soesterberg?
@@danielbruin wat is het moeilijkste onderdeel om te maken?

This looks so time consuming but so immensely satisfying.
Wonderful Daniel. A man with passion and skills. I love it.
Daniel! You have to add Amazon affiliate links to your description! :) You are generating huge sales online, 10 million views, and people are buying this stuff on Amazon because you inspired them! Bezos is getting paid, and people would be happy if you got paid too! Excellent work with this. Inspiring for certain.
wow, your work deserves more amazing subscribers!
¡Madre mía, Daniel, qué elegancia en la ejecución!. Ni por un segundo me atrevería a intentarlo con mis manazas, pero tengo que reconocer que el proceso me resulta tan vistoso como el propio resultado.
I really impressed with the techniques you use. Like making the wire straight using the drill.
I love this! Thank you so much for sharing! Please do more!!
Great stuff, Daniel. You inspired me to build my own track. Your hints are very helpful and explain the process well. Just ordered 30m of galvanized steel wire 1.5mm and should commence in few days.
did you end up making one?
That lift mechanism is super nifty. Impressive work!
Really nice! I made my own Marble Track following your guide.
Saludos Daniel, excelente trabajo. Todo parece tan fácil cuando armas las estructuras! Pero sé que es un trabajo de precisión. Gracias por mostrar, no solo el resultado, sino la preparación, las herramientas, materiales, técnicas y recomendaciones. Gracias totales!
Add a motor on top so you don't have to spin it and when rest you can enjoy this amazing view. Hope you love my ideas.
So cool! Great guide on the whole process. Now I’ve got to think of a way to add marbles to one of my projects 🤔
That’s fantastic! Great job and thanks for the demonstration.
This looks MARBLE-OUS!!!!
how did i get here and why arent there any english comments...

What are you talking about, I see mostly Englisch comments
@@nielsdaemen algorithm probably kicked in 2 days ago
Even though one can buy such ready made things, nothing will give you more satisfaction than building one yourself. A fantastic job! You just got another subscriber!
I always wanted to build something like this. Thanks for making this video.
These constructions have always fascinated me. I have all the tools and materials. I’ll post a few photos when I’m ready
You didn’t search this..and will never make this..but you watched it all didn’t you..
Nope i searched for it
Bought everything today. Gonna make it :)
Didn't watch any of it.
Damn you're wrong on all assumptions.
Yep
I searched for it and im making it. Already done with looping.
Very detailed steps. Thanks for sharing! Nice work! 👍🏼
and to think of all the sets i purchased back in the day!🤦🏾♂️great post!🤓👊🏾☺️
Amazing Project! Thank you for sharing this with us
Epico bro

Been researching for years and still looking for an alternative to soldering for wire sculptures. I was hoping that someone would have developed a spot welder that could handle stuff like this but the ones I’ve seen are either too weak or too powerful to be practical. Your solder joints look so clean though and it definitely inspires me to keep trying.
The problem here is that you are waiting for someone ELSE to develop the spot welder.
@@mrtechnophile3483 Oh, I’ve definitely experimented with all sorts of related DIY projects. I did the whole microwave transformer thing that seemed to be big on RUclips for a while. I have other projects that take up my time now, so I’m not going to dedicate myself to inventing the perfect tool for a job that I’ve already lost interest in.
You know what, Thank you, This was simple and really cool.
Ultimate work and craftsmanship. 👍
Muito bom... gostei! Parabéns!!!
Hats off bro. That’s amazing I really love it. Keep it up and do more.. God Bless You.. Tony Vincent from Penang Malaysia 🇲🇾
I have been trying my hand at these since the first time I watched your video and my hat is off to you more and more every time. It’s all so clean and simple and effortless looking but you are good at a difficult thing and im impressed. Probably watched this ten times by now and always take something away. Thanks for the video
Thanks mate, and it took me many times to get it right too :) so no worries you'll get there
Wow guy, you got some skills and patience. I'm going to make for my daughter. thanks for the tutorial!
Should put a small motor and have it running this all the time.
Solar powered.
Wind powered
Hand powered! Oh wait..
@@danielbruin excellent video
Hamster powered !
参考にして作らせて頂きます！
とっても心が躍りました！！
Projeto muito criativo. Parabéns!
One of the most creative intros to a video I've ever seen...
I hope Martin from Wintergatan will make such cool marble tracks on the marble machine x!
Maybe, however he's talking about scraping the MMX. So maybe not.
This is so cool and you make it look so easy, I just had to try it. I saw this video a few months ago and finally have time because it is summer vacation, so I bought some supplies and just now embarked on my first attempt! Thank you for inspiring so many people to try their hands at this craft. Wish me luck! I will probably need it haha
Good luck!
So, how did it go?
Looks like fun! 😊
Badass. Great job. Amazing. I’m looking to build a motor rotated by marbles. This helps tremendously.

Saludos desde Chile !!!!!
Vengo de parte de un poco de todo ya esto es muy profesional
Amazing, thank you! I hope you do more videos, I’m especially interested in finding a practical usage for these, although purely decorative is fun also.
How nice of you to show us, dankjewel Daniel!
Fun project. Nicely made video.
2nd video watched and then I'm already subbed, nice.
I know I'm not on Wintergatan because this took less than half a decade to make. Very cool too!
Well, the first MM didn't take a decade to do. 😜
creativtiy, video, music, editing 11/10
I started making something like this today and after watching this i now realized I forgot to sand the wire. Thank you for sharing your skills knowledge creativity and experience. I appreciate you
Hard work!I want to buy this!
Wife: So what did you do today?
I built a rollercoaster for my pinballs.
Heeheh make my day
Clearly this was a kid who never left the house or played with friends lol
Wife: "But I.... I thought that I was the rollercoaster to your pinballs..? :("
More like it took a week. Each piece not including prep work which takes a day pretty much and planning takes like a few hours.
@@discobean54 Projecting your lack of ability on others? Some people are naturally talented without dedicating an entire life to the craft, those who aren't can't comprehend.
