Marble Making Videos

[lisasongsparrow]

I'm new to the marble experience and would like to see a video of marble making. Whether machine or man made, new or vintage, it doesn't matter to me; although, I'd ultimately like to view all methods. If anyone knows of a suitable web link, would you please post it? Lisa

Thank you all for your suggestions. I had no idea that Youtube would have such an extensive library of marble videos. Rich, my daughter and I especially enjoyed watching all 3 of the ones you posted. The ability to keep my 13 y.o. focused, on anyting other than her hair, cell phone, and friends is admirable. Are you a professional teacher or truely Santa Claus? She thinks you're Santa

I retired after 37 years of teaching!

Been doing Santa for 23 years!

If you ever get out here to southern California, stop by and your daughter and I can torch together.

Lisa,

Here is a link to a video of a marble run done at the Jabo factory. Production quality isn't real good and the narrator is really droll but it gives you a good idea of how the machine made marbles are done at Jabo.

To Joe: Awesome, thank you Joe! I look forward to seeing how the factory ones are done now that I've seen Rich make one by hand.

To Rich: I knew it!!! Teaching is just as much an art form as making marbles by hand. Thanks for the invite, I hope to take you up on it some day.

Luv these emoticons!
