"Thanks Ric" as said I' make no excuses, I will nip this picture thing in the bud before it becomes a habit. Believe it or not the marble is clean, all the gas bubbles are inside with no blowholes clean surface, no pitting, just crummy pics. "It will be fixed"

Very nice Mib Bruce, hard to get one of these bo's with either ox or metalic strips in them anymore

Believe it or not I figured out how to delete the remaining one and the broken registry & replace it. I already forgot, it took a little fiddling but all good now, "Thank you Steph" I caused my own problems. I have more pics but free handed it again making the mib look terrible on top of being out of focus from moving. I'm going to take some good ones with my tripod, remote & shadow box. My hands are numb and it takes forever, but I look at these pictures with disdain knowing I could do twice as good, nice clean & sharp.

Try again Ric I was texting Steph about my double post.

Lets see if this works. I think I've got it,

x2, Agree with Ric, Phantom Conqueror.

Best site for Vacor (Mega) marbles there is, "Thanks for the repost Steph" a real timesaver.

I seen this type and the rounded one, in fact I probably looked at every bit they had. Appreciate the advice, will try for sure, I'll just use the same old piece of pine until I find something that works Thanks Bruce, Chad G.

I drilled 2 sets of pilots but for that 7/16ths just not gonna work, way to soft, good thing it was cheap, very nice board Bruce, that thig is exacting. I had a press just not ready to tackle a couple hundred holes and one mistake and it's over. They named the game right "aggravation" I know I'll never use a soft wood again, and yes it looked like I chewed a hole in the wood, take care. Chad

Man, I gotta get over there, we have one in town, thanks for the info Tommy !!

Nice board Bruce yeah buddy, I collect Chinese Checker boards, looks like cedar. My favorites are the old cardboard ones with the killer graphics & of course the wooden one but I also have quite a few tin also. I'll try and get a good bunch together for a pic. I just tried last week to make one for my aunt out of pine, it clogged the bit and screwed up on the first hole, maybe a little harder wood, I have a template and everything, you have to get every exactly right, I even messed up on the aggravation board I tried to make, same story "Pine" I found, is not a good wood to use. ...........

Good grief, I've been duped by a walking sphinx with arthritis !!

"Welcome Dustin" Great to have you, jump right in Brother !! Regards, Chad G.

Them look like untouched mibs, I wants me share Aaarrg !#@$$%&*^%#$%$

Lookin good Brother ........................................................... Are you using a tube or a bulb Tommy ???

Nice !!!

Some of the very best friends I have are marble friends, true blue thru & thru. Good times & good friends that will never be forgotten. Great pic Bill !! "Thanks"

Great Brick, hasn't been touched, great tail & drizzle trail, score

One more for the road, a 25/32nds miller burnt spiderman. Not gonna argue with a little pocket ware when it's over 3/4

Oops !! I forgot my new little friend, this marble was given to me by a "very generous marble Brother" Coming in at just under 1/2" a little powerhouse Wolverine. A great thing receiving something from someone you'll probably never meet until we leave this earth. Here sittin next to a 1/2" dead on faceted agate I got the same day. I've got some really good pics of the Wolverine comin, I was in a hurry when I took these. I took the first one 10 seconds out of the box, it's still layin in it's nest.

There's gold in them hills, Akro gold, the more you dig the more you want, an endless mountain of happiness.................

"Yes" a brick to me Tommy, not positive on the Akro, I'm leaning towards MFC. I have a few small 9/16ths MFC but all of them have white or black, hang on I'll look for some pics. Can't find em right now so a few from my friend Terrys collection & my saved pics. MFC white brick Another MFC white brick Another MFC white brick, they don't necessarily have to have a 9 pattern. I have never seen a akro with white , black, or green but I have seen plain bricks made by MFC as "I believe" yours is. I'm not absolutely positive so maybe a few more posts will help. MFC black brick Ebay sale, MFC green brick

Yes I agree new, they come in almost every color base glass possible, orange, yellow, red, etc. I was going through some at a shop for someone just yesterday and they had about 20 or more of these, I have seen them before but the name or country origin of the manufacturer escapes me ?? I was just about to say, all of them where about 13/16ts or so.

Well I finally started collecting Vitro's. I picked up 2 opals, a buttermilk a bunch of yellow jackets and a few helmets, green face, black face, red face a blue face and one a kind of yellow, before this I had a really nice trilite and some blackies stuffed away in a jar. All I have is a pic of the trilite for now. Resembles a cler face helmet with red, white, blue & yellow stripes, Oop I just seen some old helmet pics also, these are my old ones, I don't believe I have them anymore ??

I can't resist, I think I'm addicted a "mibaholic" my friends call me a Pelthead. I don't know if it's because of the knots on the back of my head or my addiction to Peltiers ............................ and Akros, and alleys, and ................. I've even started a contemporary collection, something I thought I'd never do ?? Ah well I can think of a lot of worse things to be addicted to.
