Nick, I love this whole presentation...wondered where you got the spiralling aluminum marble machine?  I have a thing for marble machines!

I had that Bohm marble machine saved in eBay watchlist for years it seemed like but none ever showed up… I hate to admit what I paid for a new one, but after seeing how many people sat and watched it, it was worth it in the end!

If you really have deep pockets, check out the fancy model  :o  :D

Those marble machines are both stunning and fascinating, but a bit outside my budget I'm afraid. The laser cut wood kits do offer a reasonable, if somewhat more pedestrian, alternative!

I sure wish I'd bought one of those merry go rounds when I had a chance.

Oi...Bohm certainly gets their pound of flesh for both model marble machines...love them both, but neither is in my future at those prices...yikes.  BUT, thanks for the links...looking is still free!

I know for sure that at least 300 people stopped and watched that little marble machine, brought a ton of smiles, so at a buck a piece it was worth it ;)

I will be bringing it along to another show this weekend as well…
