This is an adaptation of Steve Goods Gum Ball dispenser and a jelly bean dispenser I recently saw on the boards. The skittles drop from the wheel hole and hit 3 sloped ramps to end up in the pull out tray. It will dispense Skittles, M&M's ( all makes ) Reeses Pieces, 1/2 gumballs and small shelled nuts.
The dispenser has been cut from pine and poplar. It is 18 inches tall and 7 inches at the base plate. It was finished with tung oil only. This is the proof of concept build. I wanted to see if it would work out.

Many skittles, M&M's, peanuts and a few gumballs all went through the slide. Had to test it.... that is my story and I am sticking to it :)

Now this is a Great Idea for a Dispenser....I did make many of Just Steve's Design. Didn't sell very well. Ended up after holding on to them for a while just Giving them away as gifts. I can see how you designed yours it will dispense Perfectly. Looks pretty professional quality too. Danny :+}

Thanks Danny. I have sold a fair number of the dispensers and I have found the trick to be to have 2 of them out and filled, one with plain M&M's and the other with Skittles. I would then invite the kids to take a spin of the wheel. Have had several parents and grandparents come back for them cause the kids liked them.
