One of the most complicated Christmas presents I made was gumball
dispensers. The idea came from a Workbench magazine article, but
the design was my own. The frame was made from scrap cherry and
the sides from book matched 3/16" walnut. The finish was Tung
oil. Gum balls were added by swinging a little door aside in the
upper part of the front, where they sat in an angled hopper. When
a plunger was pressed on the top rear, a gate permitted one to
fall below the hopper's floor level, where they rolled out along
an inclined ramp.
While complicated, they were surprisingly quick to make in
quantity. I made 2 dozen easily in just a few days.

You cannot make a stupid kid smart by
handing him a diploma. Schools need standards
to measure the amount of education actually
absorbed by children. Don't sacrifice the smart
kids to make the dumb ones feel good about themselves.

Or you could wander over to a web site that does archive (at least for a
spell) the group. <http://www.delorie.com/wood/abpw/> is one that some
kind soul has put up and apparently maintains. It even has a gumball
dispenser picture or two pretty near the top of the list, too...

It's alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking. It's not available through
Google because they do not provide access to binary groups.
You'll have to find an ISP that does support binary groups. Typically,
most ISP's charge a specific rate for that type of access.
Alternatively, you can pay a one time fee of ($2.95 I think) to
Teranews to get limited access to binaries.
