That is looking great.  I particularly like the use of the Geneva crank, it adds even more eye candy.  Looking forward to a video I am!

Chris, maybe those last pictures will explain is more, at least until I can make a video later today.  As to the camera it is a simple Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS which I have had for a few years now. Its a pocket sized point and shoot which has served me well and takes nice close ups too.

I made one of these in wood a while back, fun but a bit noisy after a while ...  :-X  Been meaning to make a marble pump as well but not got round to it!

I caught this at work today but couldn't see any pictures (good old IT policy). Marked the post as unread so I'd find it as soon as I got home. (Didn't need to. Lots of interest here.)

Looking forward to the video. Very neat project!

The video worked great and was well done.
Very neat project Bill.

I had to add it to my list of 'nifty gift ideas'

What an absolutely futile endeavor.
And I love it!  I just put it up high on my build priorities.
Nice job and nice video.

Well as soon as i make a few correction to the drawings and design the feet for it, I'll be happy to post them in the plans section if anyone wants.
Thanks for all the comments. Needless to say it took more than just this weekend but probably don't have more than 30 hours in it ovreall, so its still a rather small project.
