There is nothing to do in the garden in winter, so I have time to tinker. I only worked on one marble machine at a time, and when I had another idea, I continued building, without hurry and only when I felt like it. When I finished, I looked for new ideas and inspirations on the internet. I usually "plan" directly with wood, no drawings. Of course, that results in a lot of scrap, which goes in the fireplace. The wood I use is mostly firewood from a local factory. Ash, some maple, and some linden. I make the dowels myself, similar to the method on your page. I learned that from my father. The knife is made from an old hacksaw blade.
2. Marble machine "Lift" - 2009
The marble pump with piston and crankshaft is also copied from you (marble machine 1).
The track was turned on the lathe and then cut and assembled into a track.
