  1. Yeah, I know just enough about how they made marbles to be able to very generally describe the process, but how they did anything beyond shear a stream of glass and roll it into a round ball on the rollers, I don't know. I am very mechanically minded though and I look at things like this and reverse engineer them in my mind... thinking about how it must have been done or how I would attempt to do the same. I guess it doesn't matter, but it's where the mind wanders.

    i've watched the process many times and ... wow ... sooooo many factors to consider in what rolls down the shute. everything is set 1 moment .. then somebody opens a door and .... here come ... production factors from temp. changes ... wind ... etc.. etc .. etc .... bill

  2. Okay. I'm completely embarrassed.

    From what you said, I thought I was actually looking at pictures of the 'night sky'.

    The white areas do sort of look like clouds. :blush:

    uhh ... i wasn't standing still ... since ... both spotted each other about the same time .... 10' apart ... giddyup time .. :blink:
