had someone enquire about my usual m&m machine, using the mini ones. gave it a shot, and it dispensed 49 of them. what she wanted, was something that would dispense between 10-15, as they would be a reward for a little one. she is going to test the prototype of this new machine. got the drawings done, and measurements taken. what is missing in the pic, are the dowel, a securing pin, and the gear to turn the dowel. the gear has been drawn up in sketchup, and code set up in vcarve. the planing of the scraps, and cutting begins tomorrow.

wanted to go with cherry scraps, but not enough length. went with white oak instead. the gear to turn the dowel will be cherry though. i will be making 2 of them, one for the customer, and one to sell on etsy.
