Here's the good stuff, the drive motor assembly, the moving belt with the attached blocks of acrylic plastic and the idler pulley. The belt is made from what is known as "bias tape" to those who sew, and it was dyed to look like the bottom of the other chute, a nice copper color. The "ice" blocks were then glued to it. The red material is a rubber band wound around the wooden pulley to reduce slipping.
