A MACHINE THAT DESTROYS WHAT IT CREATES - Kinetic Sand Art Table

cults3d

I’m going to show you exactly how you can easily make your own super cool automated kinetic sand art table step-by-step. Including smart LED lighting. You can see a video of it doing its thing and build instructions here: https://youtu.be/Lng_AsmfBfU It is incredibly captivating to be beside this simple DIY wooden table as the steel ball magically carves out an endless and ever changing series of beautiful geometric patterns in the sand.
