Are you sure? I don't think you know what it is either. Tossing out "nope" like you have a clue, how rude!

A Rube Goldberg machine, named after American cartoonist Rube Goldberg, is a machine intentionally designed to perform a simple task in an indirect and overly complicated way. Insinuating that I am overcomplicating things..........How rude!!Are you sure? I don't think you know what it is either. Tossing out "nope" like you have a clue, how rude!

Man, I think I get to a point I can ID, but then you go add more stuff or give a clue that blows my guess! Had been guessing big ole steel yard forklift - but now changing to big old dumptruck for mining.

I heard it was 4 times the annual salary of what admins make from WB, he will be rolling in the zeros now boy!
@Kenbo you finally figured out what you're making?
Here ya go...
I don't think that's correct. Pretty sure it's going to be a D9 Caterpillar dozer with ripper claws on the back. Just wait and see. Better recount the votes.
You may be right! Apparently Kenbo doesn't know. He has to have everybody guess at it so it'll refresh his memory
You're going to play with this in the dirt!?!
A-ha! It’s a loom machine- weaving or Dobby rug loom 
No, the bathroom. He said dump-truck....
I was thinking some kind of Farm equipment. But that's wrong.

Well I started off the day by getting the brackets that I messed up last week, remade and installed on the ply assembly and once the glue was dried and they were all pinned in place with 1/8" dowels, I immediately dropped the assembly and had it shatter on the floor. So it was time to repair that which took some time. While I was waiting for the repair to dry, I worked on the last 4 pieces of the ply assembly and the I spent the rest of the day making the segments for the wheels. I didn't have any 3/8" stock so I had to re-saw and plane some down and then I cut and fine tuned on the belt sander, 24 5" diameter walnut disc. These are by far, the largest wheels I have ever made on a model and they are going to be quite the process to make.
