Marble run from random parts

[Mitchell Andrus]

This would be great for when the grandkids come over. Not much planning here, just a pile of random parts - well, a bit of planning perhaps. Very cool.

I have 2 grandchildren due in October. This would be an ideal toy for them, whether they are girls or boys.....

Mitchell, I have been building this one on and off for a few months. I'm about half finished.

Just the sound of the marbles plinking on the wood is enough.

We have a plastic version but the wood is so much cooler.
