Skittles Tower - Proof of Concept


DWSUDEKUM

Recommended Posts

This is an adaptation of Steve Goods Gum Ball dispenser and a jelly bean dispenser I recently saw on the boards.  The skittles drop from the wheel hole and hit 3 sloped ramps to end up in the pull out tray.  It will dispense Skittles, M&M's ( all makes ) Reeses Pieces, 1/2 gumballs and small shelled nuts.
 
The dispenser has been cut from pine and poplar.  It is 18 inches tall and 7 inches at the base plate.  It was finished with tung oil only.  This is the proof of concept build.  I wanted to see if it would work out.

Nice job, DW,

Thanks for sharing and God Bless! Spirithorse

 

By the way, I don't know what image hosting site you used but, when I clicked on the thumb-nail for your

gum-ball machine, there were about 5 ads for porn on the bottom. My computer froze and I had to shut down.

Don't know why? It's never happened before.

God Bless! Spirithorse

A great gumball machine. I like it all. The color makes it stand out.
