i like the idea..
would it work if i drill a hole thru the pusher? so that the jelly beans will drop to my waiting hand (or mouth).. :)
or will it make it stuck? does yours get stuck sometimes?
Thanks for sharing!

Perfect for holding/dispensing M&M's too!
Thanks
I will be making these for my children to dispense food to their
Pets - rabbits, ducks and dog. All the animals get a dry food type so all I need to do is resize storage and dispenser feeding needs and presto, the kids walk past and feed, work the dispenser slide, animals feed!
No mess no fuss, top up once a week - too easy. My kids are very young.
Horses, dogs, cats, etc. Great idea.
He drilled the slide hole completely through the slide so that you (should) catch the gum ball in your hand and he also smoothed and slightly tapered the hole with sand paper so that the first available gumball would fall into it easily.
Killer project!
