    While it is rare to find woodwork in a PC build, most carpenters (especially cabinet builders) would advise applying wood glue along the seams of the frame. Skipping this common step is kind of like attaching a cooling tower without thermal paste. Once the glue dries it can more than double the durability of your wood project while reducing the chance of spitting the wood when inserting screws. You guys did a beautiful job, and I imagine it was a lot more work than this video showed.

    I shared this with my brother who happens to have a laser cutter. He noticed your burn marks on the wood and said you need a blower. The blower will puff the smoke out of the way and prevent the charring you see around your edges such as on the music score. He uses a cheap compressor to "puff" the air.

      @@AudreyRobinel That statemnt is very relative to who is doing the work. Metal is easily patched and filled too, depending on size with either straight up weld or just weld in a new plate. For a metal worker / welder, slapping together a rectangle box is very easy. To a career carpenter or wood worker, the same or similar end product but out of wood isnt hard. To those who havent worked in either medium often, and dont have the experience to just look at something and know what to do - then both can be hard. Ive seen novices build some Horendous MDF sub boxes, and take like days to do it. So yeah... its just relative to the experience of the builder. I was raised doing alot of wood work, but as I grew older became a mechanic and got into welding and fab. If you asked me 15 years ago Id rather build something out of wood.

    The proper thing to do to silence the gears is to employ a double sided timing belt on the back side with equivalent gear ratios and make it so that the gears never actually touch each other. Your backlash is huge and that is I would say the main source of your noise. With involute gears the pitch circles should meet but not overlap.

      @@Lowkas Martin spent 4.5 years trying to to build the Marble Machine X, a sequel to the viral instrument from 2016. The first Marble Machine didn't actually work as it was only ever able to play the full song once or twice, and would break constantly. The Marble Machine X was supposed to be a machine that was reliable enough to take on a world tour and play on stage.
      In the end, as he grew as an amateur engineer, he realized that his initial plans were impeding the mission to create a machine that could reliably play music. Decisions made early in the project that were based on faulty assumptions or aesthetics were causing issues that had to be fixed. 6 months ago, Martin made a video proclaiming the project done. He was no longer going to be making weekly videos about not, nor even finishing the machine. Instead, he would be working on the Marble Machine X2, but wouldn't be doing the weekly video schedule he had been doing for the previous 4 years.
      Last month he came back and has been making weekly videos about the MMX2.
