I think all the jumbo's,are between,1&1/4 and 1&1/8.Ill post some more pics,when I get the chance,,,,,,, It kind of funny,how,not 1 of the supermen with lutz,made it into my box,,,well,not realy

WOW!!!!!----I didnt know that there was 2 runs of 1 inchers.Guess I missed the other one,,,,,,,,

Hey Ron,how much for the jumbo's? Can I add some photo's?

I wonder if there is a possibilaty that some of the"contaminates",or lutz,was a result from the workers doing maintinance on the machines,while they were running. Another guess would be,that there was something in the stream,coming out of the tank(based on the "lutz",kind od following the pattern.) Maybe put those two thought together?

Just a little bit,,,,working on another little hooky dooky too,,,,nope,not tellin,,,

I wanna call the first one"Our Gang".--"Sprinkles at work" More of the "mad scientist"--------------Big John Ives,mashing some goldstone(lutz) Big John,,,,,,,,Black,odyssey glass---Hollywood and Richard,getting ready to put the machine in place. Walt,Big John,and Scott Kanneg(hot foot) tending the shutes,,,Ed Parsons,and Hollywood,"keepin an eye",, A couple of pics,from Daves Family,Memorial day cook out.Its nice to be around people,who feel like family.Especialy when you cant be home with family.

Sprinkles is such a "manly" name too!!!!!A couple of the others were"The Mad scientist",from when I was doing my "thing",,,T-Tool,for the pre-heat tool I came up with.Pictures to follow. There are some good nicknames coming out of Jabo,,,Ronnie,is know as "Hollywood",ever since dirty jobs. My friend in Paden City,Scott Kanneg,is now called "Hot foot",because his pants caught fire,while tending the bottom end of the rollers.It was cute,when he did it,and thought nobody saw what happened.I prefer,his name to be "Hot Pants",because its another one of those"manly" names!!!----LOL Im placing the blame,squarely on Ron Shepard,for the purple on purple and clear with lutz.I SEEN HIM DO IT!!!! Ill get more photo's up,when I get the chance.There are many incredible marbles in this run.(sprinkles or not) The whole idea,behind the "Odysseys",was to do things a little differant,either by technique,or by color.It was Ed Parsons idea,and am damn proud to be a part of that team that was assembled,not to mention,Haveing David,and Jabo,allow us ALL,the opportunities. Whats a sprinkle,without a marble?--------Thanks to David M.,just for being,who he is. More to come,,,,,,,,,,,psst,,,,I left some sprinkles fly,on the 1 inch run too,,,,,There are rumors,of some test shots,on industrials,while the marble machine was not being too friendly---------- Sprinkles------BAH HA HA HA HA!------Griff

OOPS!!!---Sorry Ann,wrong marble. It was a test shot with black base dichroic.Im guessing maybe 50 of them went down the line. Some are "chunky" with texture,but what I think is realy cool,is that some came out smooth,but have the look,of being beat up.I think they are nice,like tropical fish enthusiest,think a plecaustomus is pretty. If your into,sci-fy,,,,dark planet,,,,,,

Got you covered Bruce.Just need to locate a case,and am still sortin. Watchya wanna Know Ann? They are a test shot,with a larger goldstone frit.Many are as smooth as smooth get.A few,have some minor texture. Just as a guess,maybe a hundred and a half,at best,like those,in the run. pssst,,I think she likes that one------LOL Fish eye?,,,,,I cant see it cause Im getting marble blind from sorting so many!!!

You interested in a 25 lb box of culls,1/2 from the 1 inch run,and the other half from odyssey's? pm me if you are,,,,,,,,

Some more.Will add more,soon(still going through them)

Some "experiments" from the odyssey run.

The weather has been getting "wierd",Im the past deceade.

BAH HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!! Thats some cool looking marbles your making. GOOD JOB!!!!!

Sue,you obviously dont have a clue,about me.You overestimate my level of emotional attatchment,to threads like this.Maybe you got one of those crystal balls,that Galen has. You still have your dillusional relationship,with sp?Is he one of your "friends"? I think you should just sit on the sideline,and stay there.(its safe there) Is it ok,if I have something to post about your kids,that might be negative,totaly not true,but it gets the stamp of approval,just because someone respects my right,to express my opinion?Give me a break,,,,,,,,,,,Now you do know enough about me,that it would never happen,right? Ill tell you,like anyone else,just erase all the words,that are posted,before the word,"but". Id like to "third" the motion,that Mike Made,,,,,,,,, There is a ying and a yang,but I aint no ying yang. Going "marble blind" from sorting. Advise for the marble buyer,based on rarity.If you get the chance to get a "good" 1 incher,or a good black odyssey,they are rare,not just because of the limited runs. More than 2/3rds of the inchers and the black odysseys,were "culls". This is fact,and not some sort of sales pitch.I figured I would volonteer this info,with present company,before someone wanted to make some insinuation about it,,,, The campfire is still going,I think Limpbizket,a new york strip,and some toasted marshmallows is in order.Got some fresh Baily's for the coffee too!Did you ever dip a freshly toasted marshmallow,in Bailys?Its a 12,on a scale for 1 to 10.(but it could be an aquired taste).There I go changing my mind again,,,ITS ZEPPLIN O CLOCK,,,,,,,,

Going with toasted marshmallows,Campfire in the back yard,ZZ-top,,,,,,,,nope,,,,,,going with,,,Santana. Is fire,a living entity,or just a chemical reaction?

No Sue,He does not get "us",everytime.He does provoke a response.That ok,it reveals his true colors,to all.Fine by me. Give a guy a rope,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, If you think his insinuation,are not the equivilant to an unfounded, personal attack,then turn a blind eye,to everything,including what I have to say. Maybe if some of this targeting,was directed at you,you might have a little more understanding,instead of this,,,,well,basicaly this,nothing stance you like to take. If you dont care when your friends are insulted,then you realy dont have any friends. Everyone of the jabo's,will pass for old,,,,,,to someone who doesnt take responsabilaty,for thier own,knowledge,or lack of.Also,will pass the test for the color blind,not to mention,they will pass,for the blind marble collector. I guess I was wrong,when I thought,only the ingnorant would be fooled by these marbles. Just completly forgot about the color blind,and out right blind. Now,Im going back,to jammin some Allman Brothers,BBQ chicken,and sorting some incledible marbles.-----Check that,the mood changed to,"Oingo Boingo",,,,track 1 Oh,I forgot the potty talk,,,,,,,dang it!!! "Sprinkles"

Yep,the insinations that our team had ill intentions realy helped everyone out???? Corncerns about what a marble potentialy,"looks like",is fine and dandy,by me,BUT the rest of it,well,,,,,,where can I get that crystal ball????? I dont think they can make one,at Jabo,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,or can they?--LOL

Hey Bocci,sorry about the thread jack.Ill make up for it,when I get the time,with photo's of both the 1 inchers,and the Odyssey run.Oh,yeah,pm me your mailing address,please. Im not passive like some here on the boards.Anyone who want to crap on my plate,rain on the parade,or just out right insult someone who is my friend,your gonna hear about it. Ill tell you what Galen,if you want to realy make a differance,in your crusade to protect the ignorant,your more than welcome to buy the box full from me at a buck a through.I think there is about 2000 in the box.You can make all your concerns dissapear,and all you have to do is write the check. Im guessing your def,(or in this case,illiterate),because I said there was nothing,done intentionaly,as you are insinuating. Your opinion,or dislikes,or insinuations,will never change the truth.Your suggestion will not be noted because your delivery sucks.You have nothing in it,and you are not going to control anything,even though it seems like you want too. Now I have more important things to do,than address your concerns,straw man crap,and opinion. First thing,ends with a wipe,and a flush,,,,,,,,definitly higher priority,than addressing your concerns,and probably more constructive. Now on the positive side.The team,that Ed Parsons,assembled was the best,most casual,politicly free,group of marble enthusiest,I have ever had the privelage,to be a part of! I kind of like my new knick-name too------SPRINKLES!!!!!!! Now,Im going to fall in line,and add that this is my opinion. (and just who's opinion would it be?)----LOL

Hey!I saw them before you!---LOL Bump

The partners in the run are Ed parsons,Bobby Newman,and me. Galen,you know exactly squat,and should not make such,assumption,about what was,or was not attempted.At least you should keep it to yourself,until you KNOW something. Here,Ill lay you out some facts. Started with trial,white base. Goldstone was dropped,at 11:08,and appeared in the stream,in 15 minutes. 6 bars of color,were dropped,at 11;12,(4 yellow,and 2 reds).This began to appear in 12 minutes,past the drop.The transparent red,did not come in,or was covered. The next drop,was 2 apple greens,at 11;35,and it appeared,at 11;45 Opal white,and transparent orange,added at 11;40,and appeared,at 2 minute,and 10 minute. Just to get thru it quikly,tan,mustard,wine/plum,more oranges,and reds were dropped. There was no,ill intentions made,and if you have an eye for detail,such as,"The only true oxblood,is mycrocrystallline",then you should have no problem,telling what is,or is not akro.Looking for the "marks"is no longer the "giveaway",Marie. Of course,the statment that Jabo,never used "true oxblood" is over,thanks to some guy that applied akro oxblood fritt,to marbles at jabo. Oh yeah,by the way,the myth that jabo never used black based glass is over too.Thats guaranteed,as of June 1st,2010. I would be more concerned,about the "schedule" that was made,for the one inch run.Everything,that was ordered,put in the tank,WAS,an attempt,to match up with peltier color combo's.Specifically,superman,,,,but with lutz. I think they over estimated on the amount of strike glass,that was required,because at least half,of the glass rods were left over.Are the investers,planning on doing another run,with the glass?I think there is more than enough left over,for a 3/4 run,,,, Yeah,there might be some available,from Ed,Bob,or Griff,,,,,,

I was board,for about a minute out here in W.Va,so I took a little drive,,,,, I sure am glad,I dont have to work as hard for Jabo Cullet,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Im guessing there's been some lunar activity,by all the "stuff" Ive been seeing on the board,in the last few,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Going back to fishing now,,,,,,,,,,
