My wife stumbled across Matthias Wandel’s web page searching for people who have built their own pipe organ.

I especially liked this quote from the marble machines page:

”...small kids would render it non functional in no time flat. Everybody also always makes all kinds of suggestions for how the marble machine could be improved. Catch is, how do you ‘improve’ a machine that is fundamentally designed to be utterly useless? Like all neat projects I have undertaken, I have contemplated plans for a bigger and better marble machine, but as always, there is too many other interesting things to do for me to spend the time to build a better marble machine.

Note: I wrote the above paragraph before I built Marble Machine 2”

Things to definitely check out: Night time photography Marble Machines & other insane contraptions Wasp Sucking Machine Scanning Camera Most of the Wooden Projects such as the Wooden Pager Rotating Machine, Wooden Hinges, and the Wooden machines page.

and of course the home made Pipe Organ

I think most of the people reading this blog have similar experiences in expressing creativity. I hope this inspires you as much as it has me.
