You may remember that I've shown you some of Tom's work before.  If you don't, you can refresh your memory here.

Tom has really outdone himself this time!



He's made a track for marbles.  (The marbles he uses were made by another Aquila glass torcher, Elaine.)



He sets all the marbles at the top, then gives the first one a push to get it started.  When it reaches a point on the way down the track, it hits a lever which hits another lever...and gets the next marble started!



Every single part of this---the track, the frame and the marbles....all of it is made of glass.  It's always so much fun to watch Tom's work evolve!
