I built one marble pump with a square piston and a built up inner block as my tools are limited and in fact it turned out to be simpler. My Grandson loves it. Mr Wandel, congratulations for your work, you gave the workshop the status it deserves and every school should have such a workshow where children would see such functions and such "wooden logic". I think it is a necessary education in addition to reading and writing and the other acceptive creative arts!
I used this just to show my 4-year-old nephew how his marble machine works. What's funny is that not only was he amazed, but so was I! I'm sure I speak for everyone in saying that we really appreciate all of your videos.
You sir are a Genius... I have watched a lot of your videos sometimes 3-4 times and Love the projects you create and build. Some day I hope to have the shop/shops you have to make things happen... I being a poorboy craftsmen love the idea of making my own tools and I have made a few with inspiration from you thanks for that!
It's not loosing your marbles that is the problem it is all in how you find them. Grin. Thanks for the great video. I'm going to order your plans for this. I make custom furniture and am going to incorporate this into the kids area.
Wow! You are amazing at explaining things with terrific accuracy. my husband and I and 3 of our children sat here enjoying this very much. We love marbles in our house. Thank you for sharing your talents and intelligence with us.
Great Work!! I love your tools I hope you wear a mask when working with wood because I read an article about wood dust causing cancer. Thanks for the tutorials my 6 year old loves your channel.
Ah...! That's just brilliant and simple! I've spent some time wondering about how the mechanics of the pump worked. I can't wait to get my hands on some hardware and start experimenting : )
Seeing all the machinery you use to do this outstanding job, I'm surprised you got all 10 fingers intact! I know a lot of people who lost 2 or 3 fingers in accidents while doing just what you're doing but you seem to take great care and put safety first. Keep up with the good work... it brings fond memories of my childhood, playing with my father...
Matthias, many thanks for a very instructional video. I have recently bought your gear software and like it a lot. Just have to get that laser cutter now.
The input and output holes are at a slight angle because they need to be close together for the piston, but I like them further apart on the top so there's more room between the input and output.
Espectacular!!! muy buen mecanismo. Espero poder copiarlo para mis maquinas de bolitas. Lamentablemente 14 dolares para la economia Argentina es mucho.
Like your style my man. All that accurate stuff with the drill - counterpoised with slack handling on the belt sander, along with top-class use of the pocket knife - which looks like you got from your Dad, he from his Dad..... and btw havin loads of fun with your gear generator program. Thanks
Great video Matthias. I really enjoy watching you work and solve problems. I've learned quite a lot actually. Hmmm. Does that mean you're smart or I'm dumb. Probably the latter. Anyway, great work! Cheers.
Thank you for sharing this. I'm reminded of Bob Ross (minus the afro): Straight forward and almost meditative information. You make a person want to run out a buy a drill press.
You're one very clever guy.... I love your vids and have now bought some steel 5/8" balls on the wonderful eBay..... That's a world away from ACTUALLY getting stuck in, I know, but I thought to myself, "To start this Great Thing, first one must have balls, preferably balls of steel, glass being what it is". Keep up the good work old son. {:o)
Hola Matthias, me gustan bastante tus videos son muy buenos y explicativos a pesar del idioma ,logre hacer mi primer prototipo de la bomba de canicas, pregunta donde puedo obtener los planos ,saludos
MASTER crafsman. You knonw some one is goingto pick this up, make it in china out of cheep plastic and get rich off of your marble racer. I have been into marble racing for years and have a ton of stuff (all plastic) I have a little bit of every brand and style. Ther is nothing out there that stacks on itself like what you have created in your stackable racers. You have made marble LEGO and I want some! My woodworking skill is under par to make them. I wish you well.
In England you can get a very simple motor/gearbox combination from Maplin. They do one with Meccano-spec mount holes, and a multi-ratio gearbox. (you keep or remove elements to pre-set the ratio. Maplin is online.
Quality camerawork and clear audio made this video a refreshing change from a lot of the videos I've looked at today.

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing! I love how sharp everything is. It makes life so much easier.
Great Work!! I love your tools I hope you wear a mask when working with wood because I read an article about wood dust causing cancer. Thanks for the tutorials my 6 year old loves your channel.
This is awesome, I never watch 20 min videos, but it held my attention. Nice work!
I don't know about learning to keep a tidy shop. Tell me when you find out.
I have learned to clean up as far as the camera's sightlines go.
Incredible work, thanks for sharing that with your viewers!
I've never seen someone so brilliant!!!
This is where it all started. Jeez it’s been 13 years
Awesome. Thanks for making this video... I've been wanting to make a marble pump since i saw your first machine over a year ago.
That's freakin sweet! Kudos to you my man
Ah...! That's just brilliant and simple! I've spent some time wondering about how the mechanics of the pump worked. I can't wait to get my hands on some hardware and start experimenting : )
i didnt know pliers could cut like that..crazy amount of info in these vids...keep them coming!!!
your machines are amazing
You sir, are an international treasure! Sending love from Sweden.
I could watch that thing all day! I need to make one...
U have some great equipment sir.
My do-it-yourself dad would be jealous.
The idea how it works is awesome
Wonderful. Always so nice to see every step of the construction. I'm a big fan !
this is ingenius! i love your vids and want to try building this. thanks!

Matt,
Have no worries, your marbles are quite secure in your head. Great job!
I loved watching this, I paid attention all the way through the end :)
I'm reminded of watching the new yankee workshop as a kid on PBS.
hey, matthias, u r a genious
Thanks for a very inspiring video!
I think you are brilliant!
Matthias, many thanks for a very instructional video. I have recently bought your gear software and like it a lot. Just have to get that laser cutter now.
Matthias this is really cool. Thanks for showing us these wonderful creations of yours. You must not get a lot of sleep. LOL
The input and output holes are at a slight angle because they need to be close together for the piston, but I like them further apart on the top so there's more room between the input and output.
This is awsome!
wow I just watched a 24 minite video on woodworking without realizing it... WHY IS THIS VIDEO SO INTRESTING!
Brilliant, as always.
another awsome vid
exelente gracias por todo lo que enseñas. Sos un maestro!!!! Construí mi Máquina con lo que aprendí de vos.
Gracias
Great explanation! If i just have those tools to work like you :( thanks for sharing!
Wonderful tutorial.
Lots of things can be learned, watching the way you work.
You my friend, are an inspiration :)
that's freakin sweet! kudos
Love the fact you work in Metric, Britain thanks you sir.
you are a good man
Nice job.
you are a good crafts man
amazing tutorial, Though I think my favorite part was your ending.. good sense of humor! keep it up!
that was genuinely fascinating, thankyou :) I'm guessing a well stocked workshop makes everything a little easier too :)
Dead clever, sir!
es asombroso y admirable felecitaciones
Dude you are some kind of genius or master craftsman
All of this so he could say that last line.....My hero
Espectacular!!! muy buen mecanismo. Espero poder copiarlo para mis maquinas de bolitas.
Lamentablemente 14 dolares para la economia Argentina es mucho.
THIS IS AMAZZINNGGG
I love it, keep it up, I’m running out of things to make 😂!
"Losing your marbles..." I love it!
Magnificent.
Like your style my man. All that accurate stuff with the drill - counterpoised with slack handling on the belt sander, along with top-class use of the pocket knife - which looks like you got from your Dad, he from his Dad..... and btw havin loads of fun with your gear generator program. Thanks

Cool Video
muy bueno, gracias por el video.....

simple and effective.
thanks =)

slurryoffagrape bbbb
We can learn too much, watching the way you work
They should place giant under-ground tubes to pump giant-marbles throughout the world, to decrease road traffic.
Thanks dude.
that's awesome
Genius!
man! you are epic!
hahaha i love the end. thats incredible.
Hola Matthias, me gustan bastante tus videos son muy buenos y explicativos a pesar del idioma ,logre hacer mi primer prototipo de la bomba de canicas, pregunta donde puedo obtener los planos ,saludos
Mostly cut out of firewood. Good for short ppieces. See my video "cutting lumber from firewood".
Watch the rest of the playlist this video is part of.
very impressive :-)
I could. But that would take more time.
MASTER crafsman.
You knonw some one is goingto pick this up, make it in china out of cheep plastic and get rich off of your marble racer.
I have been into marble racing for years and have a ton of stuff (all plastic)
I have a little bit of every brand and style. Ther is nothing out there that stacks on itself like what you have created in your stackable racers.
You have made marble LEGO and I want some! My woodworking skill is under par to make them. I wish you well.
3:30 made my day.
I only sell the plans. See link in description.
Great!!!!
exellent video
Matthias have you lost your marbles, LOL, Great job as always
Super!
In England you can get a very simple motor/gearbox combination from Maplin. They do one with Meccano-spec mount holes, and a multi-ratio gearbox. (you keep or remove elements to pre-set the ratio. Maplin is online.
read the article for answers to your questions.
My dad is a woodworker, you are a woodworker, I think Ill be a woodworker to :)
Can the crank be made of wood instead of a coat hanger piece?
can u show how to make the ramp that takes the marbles up and the run were it goes into the pump?
What's happens if the colum is full and there are no new marbles getting in? Does the entire colums slide again downwards in the moving pump hole?
Actually, marbles roll faster in a U shaped track.
muy bueno....
And it shall be named... Marblego!
That is so cool dude! Must have taken you a while to figure out how to do it in the beginning.
if they make Little Shop of Horrors on Broadway again, u should totally audition
is there any way i could buy the machine
A few dollars more than buying the whole set of plans.
