Since
2016, artist and woodworker Larry Marley has been building and designing an
annual ‘Gravity Well Marble Machine’. With each successive version, the design
gets more ambitious and elaborate. From the satisfying sound of metal on wood
to the hypnotizing path from start to finish, these wonderful contraptions are
a delight to watch.
Most
works begin as a series of thumbnail sketches. Once a design is clear, a full
size mechanical drawing is made. Then critical dimensions can be measured and
entered into a software application he created to process this information and
create a cut list.
The pieces are then cut, assembled, and usually turned, carved, and sculpted to final form.
