This sweet dispenser has its rewards

waiting to see what colour would roll out? By using

offcuts from the workshop you can make your own lolly

dispenser, and save your coins. It’s designed for round

sweets about 18mm in diameter. As most sweets are not

perfectly round, there may be the occasional jam, but a pin-

ball style ‘tilt’ will get the rewards flowing again.

Most of the smaller parts of

the unit are odd sizes and

shaped from larger stock. For

the components that need

to be shaped, it’s easiest to

clamp longer lengths to the

table while shaping, then cut

to length. You will also need

6mm dowels, 6mm dowel

centres and assorted screws.

rotate freely in the holes,

and ease with a small drum

sander if necessary.

Step 2 Draw a line across

the top of the hole, and

another 6mm above. Mark the

position of two dowel holes

12mm in from the grooves

and drill 6mm diameter by

10mm deep holes.

Here’s how

Step 1 Set a power saw

to cut a 6mm deep by 3mm

wide groove 19mm from

each edge of the case sides

(A), leaving a 46mm-wide

section between grooves.

Cut the two sides to length.

Mark 100mm up from the

base of each side, find the

centre and drill through both

pieces with a 35mm spade

bit. When the point just

appears through the back,

drill back from that side.

Check a 35mm dowel will

Step 3 Screw the case

bottom (B) to the sides after

predrilling 10mm in from each

edge to avoid the grooves in

the sides. Cut the roller (C)

to length – it is cut long so it

can slide from side to side

as well as turn. Measure

105mm from one end, and

drill a 19mm-diameter hole to

a depth of 15mm.

Step 4 Before cutting the

catcher (D) to length, mark

the curve from the template

to the edge face

bottom. From the underside,

find the centre and drill a

19mm hole through bottom

until the point appears at

centre of catcher. Turn over

and complete the hole.

Adjust if necessary. Draw a

line 12mm from the back

edge of the base and glue

on the ramp and ramp sides

with their back edges centred

along this line. Glue the posts

and screw the knobs to the

roller using brass screws.

on the ramp and ramp sides

with their back edges centred

along this line. Glue the posts

in place then glue case to the

base. Clamp until glue sets.

Step 8 Prepare the top

(J), plate (K) and handle

(L). Find the midpoint of

the handle, join to bottom

corners and cut the angles.

Round all edges of top and

top edges only of plate.

Screw the plate to the

handle and the top to the

plate, centring each time.

Step 5 Mark diagonally

and cut the wedge shapes

for the top ramps (E1, E2),

leaving about 2mm at the

points. Cut with a handsaw

and sand smooth. Fit a pair

of 6mm dowel centres into

the holes in the case sides

and carefully align the ramps

so they clear the roller holes

by 1mm. Press to mark the

dowel hole centres in the

ramps. Drill 6mm by 10mm

deep holes. Cut 18mm-long

dowels, glue into the ramp

holes and then into the

sides. Feed in the roller to

make sure it is free to rotate

and ensure the ramps are

parallel with the roller.

A Drill holes for top ramps just

above the roller holes.

B Dowel the top ramps to

the sides and check they are

parallel with the roller.

C Glue the bottom ramp, ramp

sides and posts to the base

before adding the main case.

Clamp until glue sets.

Step 9 Drill a 6mm

diameter by 10mm deep

dowel hole 10mm in from

the top corner of each

case side. Push in dowelling

centres, align top and mark

dowel holes in top. Drill to

10mm deep. Glue 18mm-

long dowels into the top

only and let dry. Round over

dowel ends and open dowel

holes in sides to 7mm.

Step 6 Prepare the base

(F) using the diagram for

dimensions. Locate the

centre of the post holes and

drill 35mm by 10mm deep

holes. Also drill a 19mm

hole to a depth of 5mm

as the lolly receptacle. On

the underside of the case

bottom, measure 25mm in

from each side, find the

centre, then drill 35mm by

5mm deep holes. Use a

round-over bit in a router to

round the side and bottom

edges of the case and the

top edges of the base.

Step 10 Mark out the

octagonal knobs (M) by

drawing eight axes and

measuring 30mm along

each. Join up the points

and cut out with a jigsaw.

Sand all sides smooth, then

hold in a vice and cut

a 35mm diameter by 5mm

deep recess in centre for

fixing to the roller ends. Slide

the perspex (N) into the

grooves and locate top in

dowel holes. Do a trial run

with some sweets to see if

it operates properly. It may

be necessary to slightly dish

hole sides and ends of ramps

with a small drum sander for

more reliable operation.

Step 7 Cut the angle on

the bottom ramp (G) leaving

a front lip of 2mm. Then cut

it, the ramp sides (H) and

posts (I) to length. Position

the ramp and sides on the

base and place the posts

in holes. The difference

in height should be 5mm.

Step 11 Separate the

loose components, sand

smooth any rough areas

and sharp edges, then spray
