Bucket Chain for Marbles

Dave R · 7 Mar 2018, 19:09

Not very fine woodworking but a project nonetheless. This is preparation for a tutorial.

I wonder if it could be printed. My marbles have been waiting for such an uplifting development. (Nice presentation!)

Dave R · 7 Mar 2018, 19:35

I expect it could be printed. All the parts are solid components. The guy that got me started on this makes these things from wood.

And thank you.

Now you need t animate it!

Very cool . agree with ntxdave it would be great animated.

Dave R · 8 Mar 2018, 01:58

Thanks gentlemen.

Animation will have to wait until after the tutorial.

ntxdave · 8 Mar 2018, 03:23

Looking forward to your tutorial.

Wood chain? sorry not patient enough to wait for the tutorial. Oh and yes very cool!
Thanks Dave

Just 4 components, right? Nice work.

Wood chain?

I'm not sure I'd have the patience to make #60 roller chain out of wood but the guy who got me started does. The tutorial I'm doing will be about making it in Sketchup which isn't so bad.

A few more than that but not too many.

Thank you.

a super model - will there also be a marble runway at this lifting mechanism? - i am so curious about the further development

Dave R · 8 Mar 2018, 17:16

I expect there'll be more development but probably not by me. I wouldn't be surprised if he draws up the whole thing but beyond this lift, I have no idea what he's working on.

HornOxx · 8 Mar 2018, 17:21

now I'm more curious as before
