Default Now for Rube Goldberg....

.... the bearings are very hard to get started evenly..... remember the egg cup is a curved surface.... although we had deligently cleaned the recess with a Dremell tool and wire wheel.......

Inevitably when we applied pressure one bearing would slide in like a hot knife in butter will the other end would get hung up.

We made use of brass hammer and brass drift bars.... the best weapon... I mean tool.... which we toltaly destroyed was a home made lead hammer. Got it as a gift from a technician from NRC.... they had their own brass mold and casted there one. Soft lead really works well but doesn't last long....

Here is the home made tool....
