[@henryshaner6483]

Ohh wowww that is incredible

[@gerdpriester]

That‘s what I call handcrafted art! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@ralphgraler4223]

I'm fascinated for marbles up from my earliest childhood... and I'm 64 now... It's so absolutly strange and magic how they become these stunning patterns... ❤❤❤

[@Gibbonsglass]

They can be so mesmerizing!

[@mdbryan9525]

The comments on where the tricky parts are and what to do about them is especially helpful.

[@GeorginaBarnette]

They are beautiful! ❤😊

[@Gibbonsglass]

Thank you!

I love your work.....first time seeing it!!

John I shared your video with my face book group. Marble Identification and gave you a sub thank you.

[@Gibbonsglass]

You are too kind! Thank you for sharing, I appreciate the support!

[@HiTechDiver]

Very impressed. I grew up just outside of Corning, NY. Since you are into glass, If you ever get the opportunity to visit the Corning Glass Museum, you will not be disappointed. While you're there, only 20 miles away is Watkins Glen State Park.

Honestly I don’t know how you can stand the heat! But your marbles are amazing beautiful!

[@urzathehappy72]

Great vid. I attemped to make a marble for the first time today and my boss said "thats no marble its not round. Thats a paperwieght." Is working with dichoric glass hard? I want to get some my coworker said tubes of it might be easier to work with. The way u finished the marble was helpful to see didnt realize it was possible to remove glass to remove the jack line

[@c64116]

Reminds me of the galaxy on Orions collar.

Me to!

[@chrisclark7795]

Way nice 🤙

[@apismellifera1000]

Those are neat. Have you made any marbles that resemble the German hand made swirls?

[@Gibbonsglass]

Thank you, I try to do that sometimes! Check out my rainbow swirl marbles on my Etsy etsy.com/shop/gibbonsglass

@@Gibbonsglass Not too long ago I made a marble from brown beer bottle glass and the heat source for melting the glass was in the form of a giant 62'' spot Fresnel lens out of a rear projection TV. I may be the first person in the world to make a marble using a giant Fresnel lens as the main heat source for melting the glass

[@evgenyche8851]

Amazing job! Tell me, what is the device you are shaping made of? and why don't your figures crack when cooling down 0_0 probably sorcery

[@Gibbonsglass]

Thank you! The tool is made out of graphite and the marbles are cooled down very slowly to prevent cracking.

[@evgenyche8851]

@@Gibbonsglass THX man! You are amazing!

[@Antisympathy]

Are you still selling these marbles? The link in the description isn’t clickable.😮

[@remlya]

Yes, search for gibbons glass. His web site is still active selling his pieces.

[@AriaMasterofChaldea]

Hi! Wanted to ask what the tool on 5:30 is called? I started doing glass blowing in my university and wanted to know what the tool is called to round the glass used for the marble?

Fastest way is let nozzle produce wavy color inject inside clear nozzle drop into heated oil bath then it need no rolling because pressurized oil bath make marble perfectly round and inner decoration can reflect light create cool, heat or material in water base on color and wavelength of inner reflector and wavelength of each materials

[@benjaminmatte5225]

Damn cool marble

[@mdbryan9525]

You’re obviously not using Bomma cullet.

[@Gibbonsglass]

Is that good or bad? Is Bomma cullet quality? I have never used it. I am using Spruce Pine.

@@Gibbonsglass I don’t want to run my furnace that long because it’s not in a secured area

[@azharparvez9971]

Hello sir. What type of material do you select for inside colour. And i have tried colour glass for inside design, but my pieces kept shattered.

[@joannecarson5568]

@@azharparvez9971I’m not sure where you are in your glass journey, but all the glass you combine has to have a compatible COE. If you are using compatible glass, then maybe your annealing/cooling schedule is too fast.

Do you want to buy some insurance on them ?? I'm just saying because it would be a real shame say if you were to lose your marbles 😂😂😂😂

The music is annoying

Great, now all I need is a small loan of $100k to buy the basics for my own glass blowing hobby 😆
