I made this marble tower more than 10 years ago for my grandson, who was about 3 at the time. I brought it from Ohio and placed it in the front room and he came in and was mesmerized. He played with it for most of 5 hours. It is a little over 4 feet, if I remember correctly. You can load many marbles in the top and trigger them to  come down one at a time. It makes a lot of noise, plays down a xylophone ramp, etc  The last path leads to a bell and then into a box. Kids love it because of the noise and they can place individual marbles any where along the paths. I purchased the plans on line and I made changes and added some things as I went.

Ron I guess we will have to start calling you the "Marble Man". Love it!!!

Nice Ron.  I still am mesmerized when I see one and can play with it for hours. 

Totally cool! If I ever made one like this or your other one, I would never be able to wood work again - I would be busy playing with the marble tower.
