This is the final layout of the tracks with the bamboo skewers glued in place. As an additional precaution, long bumper skewers have been placed horizontally on both open-faced sides of each track. They bounce the marble back on course if it has skipped out of position, which is a fairly common occurrence.

I will likely continue this blog in the future, but a similar posting frequency and thoroughness may not accompany my return. Class begins in mid January so be on the lookout for fresh material some time near then.
