If you come to Saint Louis regional, we will give you some little marbles. For free.

You see, to get the big ones (on a short notice without having to get them shipped) you have to buy a package of marbles that contains 300000 little ones and 2 or 3 big ones.

So we have a ridiculous amount of small marbles left over.

The wheel was made like this: we put marks every inch on the wheel, drilled in with a 1/4" hand-held drill, used the press and a 7/8" bit to make the hole, rubber-malleted a 1" marble into the hole.

No glue or epoxy as of now, although it may be added later. We are still undecided, although we are leaning towards "no."
