Guy Builds Room-Sized K'Nex Machine Marble Maze

This is the 40,000 piece, room-sized K'Nex marble maze 'Clockwork' built by Youtube user austron. God, I wish I had a room to dedicate to K'nex builds. I live in a studio. Do you know what that means? It means I'm in the same room as my roommate when he changes. I could draw his naked body with my eyes closed, bro.

This is Clockwork, my fifth major K'nex ball machine, and my largest and most complex K'nex structure to date. It took 8 months to build, has over 40,000 pieces, over 450 feet of track, 21 different paths, 8 motors, 5 lifts, and a one-of-a-kind computer-controlled crane, as well as two computer-controlled illuminated K'nex balls.

Not gonna lie, if I had the money to build a room-sized K'nex marble maze, I'd probably spend all that dough on something else. You know, LIKE MAKING LASTING MEMORIES. "You mean drugs and alcohol?" It's like you can read my mind. Quick -- what number am I thinking of? "Penis." Damn you're good.

Hit the jump for a video of the thing in action.

Thanks to legendaryxatdx, who claims he bought a house with a special room dedicated to nothing but food preparation. Man, I wish I had a kitchen. :/

  This is a series of realistically painted Pokemons by DeviantARTist arvalis (aka RJ Palmer -- check out his page for ultra high-res shots). It says in his little bio he likes dinosaurs, so we're pretty similar. Except I LOVE dinosaurs. I am dino fan numero uno. My buddy Ter... / Continue →
• CanCraft: Guy Makes Papercraft Style Superhero/Cartoon/Video Game Characters Out Of Beer And Soda Cans

  October 16, 2012

  Japanese artist Macaon makes figures of famous characters out of cut up beer and soda cans. No word if he needs somebody to help drink all those beers, but I know somebody interested if he does. SPOILER: It's me. Shocking, I know, but I believe in supporting the arts. Hit t... / Continue →
