Versatile Chainsaw Lift: a Knex Ball Machine Lift

versatile chainsaw lift - a knex ball machine lift
IMG_4633.jpg

This is the third of three new lifts in our knex ball machine impossible. This lift is kind of like a chainsaw lift, but it is very versatile (hence its name). What makes this lift so versatile is the fact that you can make it go up, down (although I'm not too sure you would want to do that!), or diagonally! But for the purpose of ease, this one is diagonal.
For now, just look at the picture, watch the video, and I'll check in with you at the next step to start counting your pieces! Of course, if you don't what to do that, you can go to step 2 to start building it, and I'll still be there to help you along with that.

Oh, and if you need help with anything, feel free to post a comment with your question or send us a private message. We're here to help!
Good luck!
