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!
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!
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.
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!
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!!
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?
Thanks Daniel, the most interesting thing I discovered thanks to your video is how to twist the wire on itself to make it perfectly stiff and straight!
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
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.
Dammit Dude! You figured out a fantastic way to mass produce that bearing track. In our high school electronics class (1980's) we made wood frame structures with v-groove wood track (like angle iron only wood). We lined the wood with copper foil and connect the foil to a battery. One side to positive and the other side to negative. Then creatively place L.E.D.'s throughout the structure, the steel ball would make the connection and it would light up. You could place breaks in the foil, connecting wire to the foil outside the track to keep continuity through the system. This would make the L.E.D.'s flicker. I had the out of the box thinking to make a copper wire track to go outside the wood structure and be more fluid. Our electronics teacher said, "that's a great idea but you should stick to the basic project. You may be taking on to much". I really wanted it to work so I proceeded. Using copper wire was difficult because it is an exceptional conductor of heat also I was young and did not have the skill. the ties kept breaking from the solder and I could not get a big run of track completed. I didn't give up and kept trying the due date approached and didn't finish the project in time. I quickly slapped more wood track on it and half assed finished, it didn't really work well. Our electronics teacher said "I should give you an (F) but you worked hard to try something different". I think he gave me a (D+). Wish I would have thought of the Form work you created or known you then. HA HA!! I also could have used a cool damp clothe to keep the soldering heat from breaking completed tie joints. Great Video! Thanks for the memories.
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 🙆
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.
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.
@@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 TH-cam 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.
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 have no desire to build a marble track, but that trick of straightening wire by twisting it is brilliant and made this video even more worth watching.
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!
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! 😀
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.
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
¡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.
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.
In my youth, it was always my dream to build a marble run in exactly this way. To this day, over 40 years later, I still haven't done it. At least now I can see what it looks like in practice. Thank you very much!
Great video, Im trying to make a home made pinball game and been wondering what I'm going to do for some rails/ramps and this is going to help a lot! thanks again keep up the good work
@jubeibob hi ! same for me, i want to try with bigger diameter for pinball ramps. but i m not sure that the welding with be ok....i m afraid that a soldering iron is not enough. did u try ? Can you help me ? thanks in advance
Love the video. Inspired me to start my own. I'm stuck on the Soldering. Using flux and a temp controlled iron, cant get the solder to stick. Is there a specific temp I should be at? I remember in the past the metal needs to be as hot to allow the solder to flow, is my iron not hot enough
@@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.
hi!, i use solder with 2% flux, it's very difficult to connect the parts because the solder doesn't glue, do you think that the extra flux ( griffon s 39) change everything, is lot of simply ? Sorry if you don't understand my question, i'm french 😅 think you edit: this product it s amazing, the parts glue itself very quickly
You may want to try a different solder. Sounds like you're using silver solder, that stuff sucks. If you can find some old school flux core lead solder you'll have better luck. Also try sanding the wires a bit, they may just be dirty. Some red Scotchbrite pads or 220 grit sandpaper should do the trick. Good luck!
Many times using extra flux andcleani g the surfa e, like in the video, help soldering. Try to heat up the surfa a bit before apply solder, as hearing will Cook away the flux. And the soldering Iron need to have enough power and soldering tip be large enough to hold the energy require for soldering.
Daniel, I saw that you're using 14 gauge galvanized wire. The 16 gauge one I tried at the home improvement store seemed to be quite stiff, hard to bend around tightly, such as the half circles for rail trusses. Is the drill-assisted twisting doing anything for flexibility or it's just for straightness? Will thinner wire, such as 20 gauge work or it has to be very rigid? Thanks!
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
Imagine putting that manual crank on a clock, and a marble hitting a little bell each hour... :D You could read the minutes from the height of the marble in the spiral... :D :D :D
@Michael Thornton if you just made it spin the spiral every hour instead of take an hour it would work fine, it may strike 45 seconds after the hour but it won't get off 45 seconds each time
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
@@JaydenLawson if you use solder to attach the wires together then a sanded wire will allow for better adhesion. It helps to use flux too. Also it smoothes the wire and removes any debris or inconsistencies. If you use a drill to straighten your wire, you can use the drill to spin the wire between your fingers while you hold it with a piece of sandpaper. It's very simple to do

I like the music. But I wouldn't be patient enough for this kind of hobby.
I really impressed with the techniques you use. Like making the wire straight using the drill.
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.
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. 😜
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
Why is sanding necessary?
@@JaydenLawson if you use solder to attach the wires together then a sanded wire will allow for better adhesion. It helps to use flux too. Also it smoothes the wire and removes any debris or inconsistencies. If you use a drill to straighten your wire, you can use the drill to spin the wire between your fingers while you hold it with a piece of sandpaper. It's very simple to do
Algunos venimos de un poco de todo :D
After watching this I now know I’ll never be able to make one.
