Xylophone Bin

[realninj4]

would not want to throw away something during a midnight snack!

[AsellusPrimus]

I don't understand the point of this. It's not very cool looking, the sound it makes is annoying, it isn't fun.. Waste of time and a perfectly good xylophone.

[WiskeyDickBomber]

this sucks ass

[MaxnMem]

can i please have this.

[stubbyt34]

apparently no one checked the pitches of the bars before nailing them to the can.

[Hirukaki]

I'm sorry, that would be so annoying to hear in the house after a day or two

[darthd95]

It would be possible to put the wooden "sticks" in an order that it plays a song!

[ocarinha25]

Ta, i?

[TheCreator4]

whats the point

[lucecoco]

wouaaa incroyable le mec il est trop trop fort quoi! LOL

[megapurpleweed420]

thats so cool XD ^^

[ace666999]

why am i looking at a bin with some wood ?!

[CrooningFebbre]

Wow that was so cool :^o

[13chungh1]

People would just steal the balls

[surfrecordslondon]

it would be better if the ball could be lifted to the top when it finishes, at least then it wouldn't be a hassle detracting from the interesting part?

[lambanmartyr]

Awesome! Love your creativity! :-)

[joseytaylor]

How come the marble doesn't just fall off the edge?

[VeritasUnae]

@joseytaylor I assume it curves inwards constantly and sharply to try and prevent the marbles from falling off.

[DuffanyHero]

i'd love to see inside the mechanism that releases the marble

[mrDominicwilcox]

@DuffanyHero please watch my 'Making of' video to see the mechanism.

[AAErikCO]

Awww I was expecting it to play a song or something :(

[aswesee]

what kind of wood is that?

[JaviVChannel]

This tray can't be used in early xDD

[MrIsaacGosse]

bilnd person put something in the garbage. what the heck!!

[MrCAUTIONWETPAINT]

i still dont understand how the ball comes out

[mrDominicwilcox]

@MrCAUTIONWETPAINT please watch my 'Making of' video to see the mechanism.

[ShadowWarChild]

If only to give something like this to a cat owner:-) It would be so hysterical!!

@StMikey: That would've been an awesome staircase, like that piano stairs transit entrance they built in Stockholm.

[BabmerChan]

You're going to destroy that bin within a week.

Out of rage.

[bradynpage]

why didn't you do two marbles at the same time? or three? just seeing one was kind of maddening after the first few times.

[camelisthename]

Gravity at it's best :D

[Marinbot]

Aren't those bars expensive..? :/ The poor xylophone that those rosewood bars were ripped off of.. Assuming it was actually a xylophone. Could've been a marimba.. Or the bars were bought separately?

[danz2276]

@Marinbot Couldn't have been a marimba, as marimba bars are of graduated width, xylophone bars are of equal width.

[mrDominicwilcox]

@Marinbot The bars were made for the bin, see the 'making of video' I have

[mrDominicwilcox]

@Marinbot The bars were made from scratch, please watch my 'Making of' video to see. No xylophone has triangular shaped bars.

[amyloo3]

how do they not fall off as they go round?

[RogueAutomotive]

@amyloo3 The bars are mounted with a slight slope inward. Although the ball bearing would try to continue straight the slope of the bars means it is coaxed into falling inward around the bin. There is a nice making of video on the site via the link in the description

[amyloo3]

how do they not fall off as they go round?

[mrDominicwilcox]

@amyloo3 The wood is very slightly angled inwards, it was a little tricky to get right

[TomGeater]

That's Wonderful. I love it, How about making more notes and making a little tune out of it? I'm just saying, That would be pretty cool.

[happybirthdayto007]

you shouldve put a crapload of em in at the same time.

[fangerous200]

Physics! :D

[oldakustikblues]

pitagorasu suichi

[lauravw1996]

whahah!

fun!

[stacyandjulie]

This is so much fun!!

[StMikey]

This reminds me of an unrealized plan of Harry Partch's: build a stairway that is a large xylophone to be played by stepping on it.

[eybu1]

alot ppl would say its dum and easy to make, its not,

[Romily205]

imagine hearing that  in the middle of the night lol...spooky :S

[ThePoster100]

GREAT!!

[HarukaNaKimidori]

nice use of free time!

[mrDominicwilcox]

@HarukaNaKimidori Not free time this is what I do for a living. This raised $4000 for charity.

[valletiberti]

@mrDominicwilcox Right on! :)

[coolskata]

sweet^^

[samodominos]

thats cool

[screamit1]

do two balls at once!

[LegoFanMitch26]

awsome dude you are cooooooooooooooooooool!!! add me

[Pzizzle123]

stfu pumpfever u bellend tht is epic

[mbofny]

LOL....pretty cool!!!

[N4RUT0Ship]

sorry to say, but it would get annoying fast.

creative thought though!

[MitchellobLite]

see, i'd like to throw something in the trash in the middle of the night, but it would wake up the whole house.

[marxdarx]

yeah it would if you sit there for a few times..but one can just walk away when it gets annoying. I saw a pretty cool coin one that is for donations..just put in slot and it spins down a cone shape inside...I can totally see this in a coin version maybe..

[LucaCava94]

lol

[Lenniett29]

Some bit of engineering to put it all together.. nice

[Pippinfootball11]

could've been better if you set it up to play a song whenever that happens

[xslimkrnboix]

oh come on guys! Thats pretty darn awesome :D

[DerKaiii]

really nice! :D

[pumpfever]

useless, not even "cool"

[toskoramone]

it combines the two things i look for in a trash bin: unpractical and annoying

[qasim88]

i'll buy it off you

[mandolinplayer13]

i lol'd

[epundo3]

at first it sounded like the super mario bros theme. nice though.

[wethepeoplebike]

awsome

[LittleNacl]

Interesting!super good

[vlcan912]

it played on the nodes bad technique

[marklung]

@vlcan912 hahaha

[RyhthmDefined]

I'm amused, but I would totally buy it if it played a song.

[winkydee]

@RyhthmDefined I totally agree, I think you could probably re-organize the keys to play a simple tune, er no?

[uncleparsnip]

i think you should try to market the nose light at the red nose day people...

[uncleparsnip]

i like the bed and the dictionary on cassette. nice work

[morgantck1]

c laid

[AngelsInFlight22]

Awesome!

[AgIi12345]

[vickyrega]

[Dollek1234]

[Mongoloid66]

fucking useless

[Shifting0Sands]
