On the heels of our first, smaller Marble Tower, is this marble machine and toy based on Italian architecture. A unique wood crank elevates marbles up an acrylic tube (left side of tower) to the loft to ring a bell before rolling down a series of interesting pathways. Marbles are switched to one of two pathways to chime more bells, sound a xylophone, then swirl and zigzag over the rest of the pathways.

Sources are listed in the plan for many of the parts you need, but many can be found on your own or replaced with your own imaginative ideas. Clearly, this is a project which will require patience, but once finished it will also become a favored heirloom for generations. Full size patterns and instructions are provided for the 44" tall, 19" square piece.
