I like the lane with the three holes where marbles "wait" for others, and how the machine still works when components are being swapped.... That's really genius!
First thing is the craftmanship being superb in itself, and then modules introduced. Kudos to the designer and lathe working. Parking garage for marbles. Absolutely fascinating!
It's really amazing how something so pointless can be so... satisfying. Guess it brings out the kid in you, watching these little balls zoom around and make noise. Though my favorite ones are the big marble machines, with the rails and stuff. I remember going to a science center and sit there watching those balls move around. Felt I could be there for hours. It's just so cool watching the moving parts.
Really neat. One thing that occurred to me that might help getting alignment with the pegs for the smaller marble modules would be to drill counter sinks 1/4 to 1/2 way up from the bottom of the bases to guide the pins into the holes.
I'm sitting here shaking my head in awe.This is wonderful.You even have interchangeable sections.You are a true artist and mechanical engineer.I love it.Thank you for sharing your talent with us.
Brilliant! If I had one of these, it would actually feel like I'm not alone. It also sounds a bit like rain so perhaps it could help a person get to sleep at night. Love it. Very clever indeed (the person who designed it). Well done.
This guy leaves you speechless for words honestly i dont know how to explain this its so well made.All i can say is flippen hell brilliantly made bud .
As a teen I used to make marble roll-it-downs out of my Lego's. I am amazed I never thought of the idea to bring the marbles back to the top automatically.
Not sure if your going to see this but - loved the intricacy and the engineering that went into this marble machine. the random white noise of the marbles[steel balls] running through and colliding with each other is a soothing sound to the mind. It is a piece of eye candy also in the most enjoyable sense ~ fantastic. Hope you make more modules to add on to this - would like to see how you would develop this further. Thanks for producing this!
So cool and ingenious. There are delays introduced which slow down a ball's travel through the machine. There's another, where balls are halted and held until 3 balls have accumulated. Another, where every second ball is re-routed to an alternate travel path. It operates the same as a piece of complex digital logic circuitry, but using mechanical 'gates' and delay timers instead of electronic ones. All this stuff is happening in parallel also, which makes it even more complex than than just a simple sequencer. Love the superb build quality of the wooden components too.
+Jet Gardner You could certainly use different coloured balls but you can't restrict them to any section. They would be mixed up after the first cycle because they have a common path through the lift at the rear centre of the machine.
I'll clarify, I meant it would be fun to start each section with different colored balls and let it run, then see after they're scrambled if they all migrate back to one color in each platform.
+Jet Gardner I can tell you without experimenting that they won't. If you expect a machine to sort balls by their colour you have to build in a mechanism that detects their colour and actively sorts them on that basis, otherwise the entropy (randomness) of the system just increases as time passes. That's the natural way of things according to the laws of thermodynamics and to reverse it you have to do work.
yh it bugged me that balls were placed in several locations of the machine so it was impossible to follow the route of one ball.... make atleast 1 of them a different color
Hardtop Harry same here - looks like a minimum of 3 balls is required. I’d use it as a timer for people coming in my office to get to their point in a limited amount of time! 😆
If you go to google and type in wood marble machine, and follow the prompts, you will be sorted. They are very eager to please and helpful. All the best
Why does this machine remind me of that old mechanical board game "Mouse Trap". I guess it's the gears and interaction. When he switched the 3rd and 4th modules I realized the simplicity of it all. Fixed input and output points. What happens in the middle doesn't matter as long as the flow continues. Still, I could never have thought of it.
This is wonderful to watch. I love watching them make their way around the hairpin grooved board on the left. Could you make one in a frame where they follow the paths of a few constellations?
I just started watching marble runs on youtube. This sounds so peaceful. I think I am going to order one for my german themed forest basement. (I have a mechanical cuckoo clock as well)
What a nice "piece of work"! The engineer part of this creation is satisfying to watch, and the woodwork marble run part is beautiful to enjoy. Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work!
Good News: The Marble Machine will be ready for the Brass Band, Bamboo Ensemble, and Rondalla for music collections, including Ukuleles, Guitars, and Harmonicas by Easter Sunday. Thanks! 👍 Amen! ✝️
Really cool, you did awesome. I really like the lift feature...it reminds me of people rushing to the amusement park's gate excited to get in. If you can add maybe 5 colored marbles in the mixand drop them in different parts of the machine, it'll be wonderful to watch where they travel and see if they will ever catch up with each other.
Marble is all steel so the the size and mass is guarantee the same as ensure. The colour marble made from ceramic then size and Mass is not quite the same and the are very light, therefore it's not run well
What about you color the marble yourself? Like with a spray paint specific for steel, I'm sure there is a paint for that. What I'm not sure is if it will still roll through the whole system the same way . I would be curious to see that if you haven't tried it yet.
Absolutely quality piece of mechanical design and I think that anyone who has thumbs down is a jealous person because it’s mint!, respect from the United Kingdom
Great Marble Machine. Someone may have suggested this already. Chamfer the tips of the alignment pins as well as the holes on the bottom of each segment. This should help with the assemble alignment. Thank for posting this , pretty cool machine.
Watching that was kinda hypocritic, by the end I felt a sense of calm, like watching fish swimming in a aquarium. I like the sound of it too, reminded me of a babbling stream, water over rocks. Nice work,
@@evanmiller338 I've never heard of that one. I don't know if it made it as far as New Zealand. But I definitely remember "Mousetrap", and this video reminded me so much of that!
@@pmn2821 Lucky you. I never actually owned one myself. As a kid, I was always playing it at my cousin's place just round the road. They had it there. I loved playing it, win or lose, because of the contraptions you had to put together to make it work.
Craigslist, We, my younger brother, baby sister, and I got it for Christmas I would guess in the late 60s. Advanced for its time we played it and played it. My sister cried when she got "trapped " so we let her win. Didn't matter I just loved watching the mechanism preform. Very happy to have a new one on hand.
So for $240 you get only the base model then to complete the build you must purchase at least three more modules for it to properly run? Do you get to build all sections or are they pre-assembled? Last question, does the base model come with the motor?
To complete the build, you must purchase at least three modules. $240 (on sale) is just base machine price. It will comes in kit form so you need to put all the pieces together by glue and screws step by step shown on instructions. The kit includes motor and everything you need to build this machine (except glue and battery, not allowed shipped by air)..
@@Woodmarblemachine Thank you very much for the reply. I need to save up my money and get one. How much would shipping be to USA, zip code 64029? Thanks again for your information. I hear there's a big problem with shipping right now, probably a long delay as well.

Over 8 minutes long and I watched each minute with wide eyes. Beautiful!
Time to hit replay and watch it again.

Incredible! The engineering involved alone is amazing, let alone the skill it must've taken to actually craft!
Thanks!
Fantastic marble run!!! Love it!!!
I don't know if I'm the only one who thinks this, but watching this kind of stuff is so satisfying to me.
So nice to see one of these marble machines made from real wood and very good components . The gate wher the marlbes wait is great
Soo therapeutic and relaxing could listen to this for hours :)

This is the “I’m definitely going to bed after this video” video
Why you wretched fiend!
Brilliant machine well done. I think It would be even more interesting to watch if you had one red ball enabling you to follow it's journey. :)
Thanks!
Beautiful!!!! So much thought and creativity was put into this. How could anyone down-vote it?
Jealousy......lack of understanding the creativity.......bored and want us to try and figure out what isn't really there.....
This is a work of art! Love the gears in the back, all wood so beautiful. You should showcase your work in art museums.
Thank you!
Nicely cut involute gears for smooth operation!
🙂
good sound quality, perfect video length, good closeups (it's great that you take so much time for them). Wintergatan would be proud.
It's amazing how you made the three removable models interchangeable.
It has the same height, the same length, the same receiving point and the same delivering point

Amazing! A perfect John Bonham drum solo!

Mesmerising and beautifully made, a credit to your thought patterns and woodworking skills
It's great, but I have one suggestion, use different colored balls for each section to show how they're distributed.

What an intriguing piece of engineering. I would like to see just a single ball working its way through the hills and gears. fascinating.

Just like the government, doesn't really do anything but it looks impressive doing it.
this is very impressive especially since it is made of wood. Quite a skillful person indeed, I could watch this thing for hours.
Looks like the module base pin holes need to be countersunk underneath to make them a bit easier to locate....
lol. I just commented with this same suggestion. That'll teach me not to read down in the comments more. ;-)

fantastic... calming and relaxing to watch. can you let it run for an hour? Great concentration noise. Thx!!!
