Me and my little buddy worked on this project together.
Pine sides, cedar base and top.
Glass globe from Walmart.
Sliding ball drop was a piece of old cutting board scrap pulled out of the burn pile.
Spray shellac for the finish.

We now have enough gum to last us a life time…..................

That’s a cool Project!
You must of had fun building it with your little buddy!
Great work you two.
At one of my dad’s friends pool hall he had something like this that was filled with peanuts. While I used to watch them play pool I would eat all the peanuts! I love peanuts and gum!!!
Thanks for sharing.

Kook: I could not find any plans on these anywhere. Lots of pix of the completed ones. I found out quickly that you do not just drill a hole slightly bigger than the gum and expect it to work. Had to go back and retool the drop opening to prevent clogging.
Joe: Nice bucket list
