    When I first started watching Denha I was single, now I am married with two children and my older son who is 4, nearly 5 absolutely loves these. When people come round with their kids they are surprised at how their children will quietly watch these videos in total amazement.

      Being rude, sry. Very mesmeryzing. Creating a machine with thin steel wire and 4,35mm steel balls as a work of art/electronics.

    • @Jasper_4444

      They are only 4,35 mm? That's much smaller than I thought.

    I remember watching this video a long time ago, it got me interested in marble tracks, and I ended up getting some.
    Best toys I ever had, even as a teen I still play with them.
    Thank you so much denha for introducing me to them!

    Man this takes me back, I remember back when I would boot up my grandparents old Mac and would search for these videos. I miss those times, it’s sad to think that they’ll never be the same again. Cherish your memories, people.

  • @getin3949
    @getin3949 8 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    How very clever you are denha. My Father used to make items like these and he called them Thing-a-ma-jigs, I was so taken by them as a child and now as an adult. They are great memories of my Father who has been gone now 27 years.

    • @TheFakeyCakeMaker

    What an inspirational commitment to craftsmanship! I especially like the “monkey-motion” and clever use of levers and gears to reset the bearings. A+

    Man, this is just pure nostalgia! I loved watching this video when I was younger! In fact, I would ask my mam if I could get these off Santa for Christmas. If you've watched this, you've earned my respect!

    • @CaramellzYTPs

    These are so cool, and I'd really like to own one, but I will not buy one, because I would feel terrible to separate your collection. It truly is amazing! I hope one day that the world can find a place to display them forever.
