Build a Marble Tree for that Special Toddler in Your Life

Maker Faire Bay Area 2016

May 20th-22nd

Presentation Wood and Metal Working

If you have a 1-5 year old, you will want build this toy. It looks like a tree and a marble placed at the time will roll down from leaf to leaf making a xylophone-like sound of descending notes. Can be built using a table saw and scroll saw, or with just a laser cutter.

Vance Morrison started making young, being a nuisance in his father's workshop by the age of 5. By the time he was a teenager, he had taken over the entire workshop and expanded it into electronics and chemistry. Creations include a coffee table rabbit cage, wood sampler clocks, a dawn clock, regular thermite demonstrations, and of course marble trees.
