NathanSnyder Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hello I am new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Nathan Snyder, I have been lampworking with Boro for 10 years, and making marbles for 4 years. I currently have some marbles on Ebay with some of them ending tonight. Hope you all had a great Holiday! Thanks Nathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi Nate. Glad you made it. That's an amazing photograph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chordus Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 That's quite a bit of camerawork you've got there! If I make a suggestion, consider showing the whole marble in the primary auction photo. While the interior shots are great, I can't even tell that they're marbles. When I'm buying marbles on ebay, I'm not going to give it a second thought to auctions that aren't clearly marbles on the browsing page. Though I can't buy anything ATM, I'll almost certainly be a future customer. Those marbles are rock'n! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richsantaclaus Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi Nate - have any experience with soft glass (COE 104)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathanSnyder Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Thanks everyone. Rich- I have played with 104 and 96, but just never had much success with it, maybe one day it will grab me. Chordus- Thanks for the suggestion, I though about that when listing, but then did some that way to test it out. I will do them that way in the future if I list on ebay again.

Speed Racer Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Very nice work with the boro, and so unusual that I hope I can grab a few before they disappear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsantaclaus Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 104 is a tough glass - I've been melting it for about 16 years now. The heat control takes a lot of time to learn especially with the pinks and purples. Boro = turn up the heat and oxygen and don't worry one bit about thermal shocking...lol!!!!!

NathanSnyder Posted November 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thanks Speed Race. They will be hanging out at my website as I only sold 1 out of 16 on ebay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 Also not buying anything at the moment, but after the holidays, I can see myself being selfish again. In fact, I plan on it. But . . . do you make marbles as small as 1 1/8? That's as big as I go . . . just curious, because I like what I've seen of your work . . .

NathanSnyder Posted December 1, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Thanks Ann, I can make some smaller ones, have been wanting to make some actually, but probably won't get around to it until next year, so it should work out great.
