Marble Lifting Machine
« on: August 06, 2010, 10:31:57 pm »
This is one of Steve Good's patterns. Made from Red Oak and Mahogany. I turned a small shallow bowl from Mahogany to hold the marbles when not in use.
This was made for the annual toy drive for our woodworkers club last year.

It looks like a cool and fun toy.  I really like the choice of wood, too. Great job!

dgman,
Good work, those can be more difficult to make than you might think.
I made one of those several years ago and altho the grandkids like it, it gets more use from the parents of the grand kids!  :D :D

Thanks all! It was not difficult at all to make. The hardest part was aligning the cams to lift the the pistons in proper sequence. Instead of using Baltic Burch for the cams, I used Mahogany. It was alot of fun to make and ever one who saw it had to play with it!
