Make Podcast: Rube Goldberg Contraption Machine Made Out of Sticks and Stones



When I found out that Jesse and Nate make Rube Goldberg style contraptions, I challenged them to come up to my family’s nature preserveand make a contraption out of sticks, stones, and twine.

We gathered up on Whidbey and for a weekend messed around in the woods during the day and roasted marshmallows on the beach at night. Andru came up with the idea to use threesomes of stones to form a wandering domino effect and Jake transformed into a human sawing machine.
