My new marble run

I had a college assignment to make a 40x40 cube based on the subject which I recieved - which was Kinetic art. Since I love marble runs, and Marble runs are considered kinetic art - that's what I built!
It's the first time I built anything this proffessional looking as far as all my funny little contraptions go. I'm used to building these out of paper. my goal for this thing was to make it "Good enough to be on youtube."
Granted, I don't know how to build a lift that takes the marbles up every time, nor is it beautifully crafted out of wood or popcicle sticks, but it's mine and I love it! And apparantly, so does my cat, who tends to stare at it.

Thank you. :)

The chicken wire i there for the slide pieces to rest on, actually. It's what's holding them up and in place, as well as it helps give the cube a more cube-like look.

And how'd you know I have a cat?

The way your design contrasts the movement of the marbles around the square with the circular movement in the "bowl," is very appealing. Is the chicken wire to keep your cat from chasing the marbles. I like your video!
