For those unfamiliar with Joseph’s Machines, the YouTuber’s behind a long list of viral videos featuring Rube Goldberg-ian machines.

In this video, Joseph shows off a “Pizza Making Contraption,” which covers the simple steps of saucing the dough and sprinkling on the cheese and toppings. The contraption does so in an incredibly mesmerizing way, however, with its use of an endlessly circling toy train. As well as a swinging sauce bottle that makes geometric patterns tie-die aficionados would drool over.
