Marble Pump

A quick and dirty look at the marble pump in action on its own. I'm no cinematographer so you'll have to live with the phone-cam quality and text narration.

It's staggeringly hard to get 17mm drill bits (regular, spade, or forstner), and the same for router bits in Australia. I gave up and went with 18mm bits, despite the fact that marbles are 15-16mm.

The pump shown here is a little "loosey-goosey" as it was my 1st build. The others are a little leaner in action.

Great little gizmo anyhow.

For some reason the Youtube Captions are intermittent. If you don't see captions then this will be duller than expected, trying to fix the problem. Try again later
