I'd say that's a good reason. I'm sure these machines are inspiring to at least one of them and they'll have great memories of these for the rest of their lives. 😊 If you don't mind me asking, how do you get such even and smooth bends in the wire tracks?
I use 1/16" brass rod in straight 48" lengths. I bend them on cylinders of different diameters. I have several little clamps that hold the tracks for soldering. The clamps are made with two 1/2" pieces of 1/8" brass rod with a small bolt in the middle to draw them together. The 1/8" brass pieces have grooves which hold the track the correct distance apart. When I have a good sized section of the track clamped and adjusted I solder it and move on to the next section.
Wonderful set of machines. The wooden spirals on the first one are absolutely gorgeous, and the launching mechanism at 4:12 is something I've never seen before. Lots of really cool ideas here.
I spend a lot (too much) time on TH-cam watching amazing, mind blowing talent and creativity from musical, athletic to mechanical and I get a real charge out of your talents. Thanks for sharing and know that your work is appreciated by people you will never know.
As a toolmaker for many years, I can happily say you have made some beautiful and well thought out designs. excellent workmanship on the bending and brackets. Well Done!
So cool to watch, it reminds me of the awesome pinball machines and their wire ramps were the ball glides on to reach a different area of the pinball table increasing your score and triggering a specific reaction at times 🙂...
I love the relation between this kind of system with electric system. :) I use to explain the work of a battery (for example :) of 'lifting' charges against a potential.
Fantastic workmanship! Nice to see some metalwork instead of 3D printed stuff. U just need some tweaking here and there and then, but then all together in one huge machine 👍🏻
Gracias al Creador por darnos la misma capacidad para la creatividad a todos los humanos y que pocos han dejado escapar la oportunidad de desarrollarla para que todos aprendamos unos de otros! Gracias!
Those are really nice machines. I'd be interested in seeing a build video where you show how you get those nice clean curves in that ?brass rod? you use.
I don't have anything to show how I bend the wire, basically it is done free hand on different size cylinders. I have made a bunch of little clamps that hold the two wires the proper distance apart and in position for soldering.
If ya like this, look at the marble machine that wintergaten made! It reminds me of these ^-^ I always wanted one of these kind of machines when i was younger
Old post that I just found and watched. Really amazing and beautiful craftsmanship along with attention to detail not only in function but also creativity in design! I truly enjoyed your video, Thank you for posting. what average rpm were the motors? I realize that there was 1 much slower but not sure if it was all changed in your gearing!
The gears come from old water meters. I use to work for a City and I had the water department save some of the gears for me when the old meters were replaced and scraped out.
hi, me and my friends are making a final school project for high school, we got inspired by this video and we are going to make one of this machines ( the 2:55 one ) if you could reach to us giving some informations about it (sizes, how it works etc.) we would be verry thankfull, thanks for your time
Hello, my marble machines were made without plans, so regrettably I have nothing to send you to help you build yours. The rails are made with straight 1/16" brass rod which comes in 4 foot lengths. The rails are soldered together with an electric soldering iron and soft plumber solder. The ball bearings are 9/32" diameter.
Wonderful and fascinating machines. Very clean. Interesting mechanical devices i will remember for my future projects. What material wire tracks are made of ? Brass parts soldered together or welded iron ? Thank you.
I like the different lifting mechanisms- escalator, staircase, lift, launcher and magnetism. How about one where the marbles are propelled upwards by a strong gust of air?
The tracks are made from straight 4 foot lengths of 1/16" brass rod. I use a electric soldering gun to attach cross braces and supports. The brass rod is bent around different diameter pipes and cylinders. I have a small bench metal lathe that I use to make the lift mechanisems.
The last lifting mechanism is a very elegant design.
My favorite is the antepenultimate one (2:51).

I agree
My grandchildren play with them and they get out of adjustment.
I'd say that's a good reason. I'm sure these machines are inspiring to at least one of them and they'll have great memories of these for the rest of their lives. 😊

@@LeslieProper Would like to see a video of the clamps and your fabrication process.
Love your designs. I bet the grand children love coming round your house
What a loved grandparent you must be.
Those lifting mechanisms were incredibly imaginative!

I can imagine him building such things when he was a child.

Those machines are true works of art, the craftsmanship, intricacy and sheer engineering skill is astounding. Thanks paul
Some excellent builds here. Thanks for sharing your great work!
Beautiful work. Mesmerizing mechanicals. I can see the lifting mechanisms are the main interest here. Very nice selection. Thank you for posting.
This is very neat: thanks for sharing it! I'm especially fond of the magnetic lift in the last one.
Ruling in joy the different lifting mechanisms. Very creative!

Hi Bill, thanks for the nice comment.
Beautiful.. I wish I can make something beautiful like this one day.
love those designs and my fav is the magnet lift 1 :D
These are very beautiful and inspiring!
You've got the most creative lifts I've ever seen
Well done thanks for sharing
all the best from John in Texas
Super cool, I’ve always been interested in mechanical stuff like this.

I loved the second one. More relaxing and both motions were almost in unison.
As my grandmother used to say"The devil finds work for idle hands" ! Brilliant fun !
THANK YOU...for sharing. Really nice. You have really been busy.
たまにこぼれちゃう所が人間味があって良いですね
Lol😄 this is great! Thanks for sharing!
El nivel de ingeniería que tiene este señor en la cabeza es alucinante!!!!!!
The essence of mechanical engineering! My favorite branch of engineering.
So cool to watch, it reminds me of the awesome pinball machines and their wire ramps were the ball glides on to reach a different area of the pinball table increasing your score and triggering a specific reaction at times 🙂...
this looks awesome! I admire creative lever designs
It's amazing. Good luck. Это ШИКАРНО.
These are just wonderful to watch 😍
Why do I smile And Laugh? Tyvm for this
This person is my spirit animal
I love the relation between this kind of system with electric system. :) I use to explain the work of a battery (for example :) of 'lifting' charges against a potential.
Magic. That's worth a like and sub.
The marbles flying off made me very nervous but these were so cool!
Hello !! The work you do is wonderful
That's one of my favourite videos since now 😁
Its awesome! Thank you!
All of them are great !!
You are so talented and I wish I could make stuff like this. I really like you videos as well 😁
Fantastic workmanship! Nice to see some metalwork instead of 3D printed stuff. U just need some tweaking here and there and then, but then all together in one huge machine 👍🏻

Just AMAZING!
very impressive, some incredible construction, Wow!
I could totally hear the marble machine music in my head while I watched this.
Que trabajo tan hermoso !!!
Curious what kind of woodworking tools you use - would love to see a how to video.
GÉNIAL...!!🤙
Wonderful machines! Have you thought about making one steam powered by one of your engines?
The last one with the magnets is very ellegant.
I think the balls may get magnetized over time and then stick to each other.
These are awesome. Really nice work man. Where is a good place to start with these the motor Mount?
And this person is the spirit of my marblelife
#4 appears to be very good at distributing marbles around the room.
I thought it says "marble machine melody".
I was like few minutes in waiting to hear some melody and then i realize what i missed...😂
What I like is that these sculptures don't run at 100%. Or no video editing has been used. I'm looking at getting into this hobby.
Nicely done!
Some final adjustments are needed but then you have it,perfect working machines.
I’m just getting into making these devices. I just really like magnets. Way cool
Very impressively!
(...lots of good ideas that I'm going to steal...)
Nice greetings from the enns valley.

This is what people should be watching at 3 am
Lindas maquetes meu amigo. Parabéns

great job, i love it :-)
They are great. Need some fine tuning, but absolutely wonderful.
Now, chain them all together and make one big run😂
Glad you liked them, thanks for the comment.
Very interesting, Congratulations. it's like a terapy. :)
If ya like this, look at the marble machine that wintergaten made! It reminds me of these ^-^
I always wanted one of these kind of machines when i was younger
Where it ’s not perfect, it ’s human and fun.
Amazing projects mind blowing. Thank you 😯😉🙏🙋
Cool stuff.
Cool! El ultimo me gusto mucho!
It's nice and funny. Good work. Congratulations.
I once played a similar kind of machine when I was a kid, but instead of marbles, they were toy penguins
So cool!
Wonderful!
Old post that I just found and watched. Really amazing and beautiful craftsmanship along with attention to detail not only in function but also creativity in design! I truly enjoyed your video, Thank you for posting.
what average rpm were the motors? I realize that there was 1 much slower but not sure if it was all changed in your gearing!
I love the designs ...
This is amazing! Where do you get all the brass gears and gadgets?
The gears come from old water meters. I use to work for a City and I had the water department save some of the gears for me when the old meters were replaced and scraped out.
Nice description
Thanks for watching??? Thanks for making it!!!!!
Wich one is the most efficient ?
amazing!

Muy Buenas..!!!
5:36 My OCD death stare finally worked on that one marble just in time
"That one marble"
Yes, very specific
Awesome!
Hi
Leslie Proper Nice video😃👍
shadow has four holes? 1:30
These machines are sooooo damn cute!
Do you make the gears yourself? When I was a kid I used to take everything apart looking for anything that I could use with motors and Lego.
Wonderful and fascinating machines. Very clean. Interesting mechanical devices i will remember for my future projects.
What material wire tracks are made of ? Brass parts soldered together or welded iron ?
Thank you.
Yes, 1/16 inch brass rod in 4 foot lengths. Soldered with lead free plumbers solder and an electric soldering gun. Thanks for the comment.
Wonderfull !
This was my childhood
Muito bonito!!!!!! Parabéns!!!!!!
Amazing and awesome 😎😊
Reminds me of playing pachinko machines and amassing a 45k debt
Wow nice Video 😁👍😁
