The design for our second machine is under way. We are planning to triple the runtime of our first machine with more advanced fabrication techniques and a three-stage pulley system. Evan has selected some new marbles, dominoes, and other pieces to be included in the design. Apparently, dad’s old matchbox cars aren’t cool enough.
The machine is being built in our new mini studio, also under construction, which should give us better lighting for our videos. We are testing multiple camera angles, tracking shots, and improving our editing skills to deliver a fun feature video.
Machine No. 2 will also be the basis for our first series of tutorials on creating pegboard-style machines. We expect the build to take 6–8 weeks and another week or so to edit the feature video. The first tutorial should be released in mid-August, followed by an additional tutorial every 1–2 weeks.
