As someone who is new to glassblowing and just started fuming this is prob the most helpful vid on KZbin thank you tim

[@Sugarmountaincondo]

I just recently discovered the art of marble making here on KZbin and you are about the 4th or 5th person I have watched and I just wanted to say how awesome your artistic skills are and how much craftsmanship goes into making a special marble. I have always been interested in the glass industry like blowers of glass, colored glass goblets & drinking glasses and fine China makers and appreciative of all the craftsmanship that goes into making such items. And while all of those industries are very interesting, I have now become addicted to watching marble making videos because your niche is more unique and labor intensive and artistic like a fine rare wine from a little known place in the World no one ever heard of before. As Dr. Spock would say; Fascinating.

[@genius27641]

This is one of the best demo videos on KZbin! Hope you make some more soon.

[@kindjordan]

[@dickrickdickulas]

Brilliant,I've been looking for this kind of video for ages,love your work pall.

[@mattwertin]

I've wanted to do this for years thank you for the filtering

[@Bdogg979]

I’ve been working glass 18 years I really enjoyed your video.

[@johavinton1172]

I really enjoy watching your tutorials. It's one I keep Coming back to watch, I hope to see more in the future 🙏❤️🤙🔥

[@lumablueglassstudio1805]

Thank you for the knowledge... I am looking forward to making my next marble.

[@matthewward1608]

Great video, I took your class at franzs' forever ago on this and the phantom worm lol loved it then too! Good job brudda!

[@outdoorstuff]

Very cool, thank you. Hope to see more.

[@dakotawaterman9972]

Bring the show back mannn

[@friendlyglasscreations7000]

Thats so beautiful, havent had anyluck with tube marbles but im gettin there lol

[@michaelfarmer537]

That’s some really amazing looking work! I really enjoyed watching this demonstration.

[@keith9033]

Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time..

[@lindaashbrook6789]

Stunning!

[@ricks2907]

Thanks buddy cheers Ricky 🙏🔥🥂

[@AlleyCatPro2023]

Amazing! I'm just doing compressions now. I just got some tube in. I can't do anything large cause I'm using a small torch with a 20 con. I will try this. I hope they look just as good in a small marble or pendant.

[@sethsims3717]

Great video btw very well explained!

[@Shreddylife]

Thank you for sharing 😄 I just got a redmax not too long ago and I really love lampworking

[@jessegwalker]

For the tenth time to watch I love the video. Please keep them coming. Nice job and I aspire to make that marble.

[@ogmenes6169]

Excellent video, thank you . I’m subscribed!

[@arkfeldpro]

There is something I have noticed in Our Glass eco-system, in the way of decent nature and general attitudelessness purely focused on the forward momentum of the learning, which I have found in no other artforms in My Life, be it music or sports, etc..and your embodiment in this mentality and matter of fact-ed-ness, has Me encourage you to share much more, because personally for me, the delivery allows me to focus AND listen, which isn't usually easy. Thanks for the clear unstained definitive maturity that many lack, and know it makes a difference. P.S. ignorance question- what, where, and who, do I gather the proper gold and silver for the beginning of my fuming practice? I assume Mountain Glass would have it but that's me assuming and I would like an educated and tried/True answer that might contain some knowledge I wouldn't think to expect or look for in such an important venture. Take care, "subscribed" and will share and pressed "like" button.

[@jeffreyeckleben1574]

Sweet technique and marble

[@benjaminpeters7184]

So in the beginning of the video with the flared open tube, putting the designs I was thinking " hey that's great, I think I could handle that" THEN you got to the dot stack portion of the marble and I have to tell ya..... you're one tough act to follow. Your knowledge of color combinations and technique really made that look easy. I'm goin to attempt something similar tonight when I get home and I can only hope it looks 1/2 as good at this. Excellent work

[@paulwright9800]

Cheers man for that sharing.....

[@cosmoglassworks]

Nice! Thanks for sharing. I learned to make vortex marbles from your DVD many years back. It's still the most influential glass video I've ever watched.

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

Thanks man! That's great to hear! I really appreciate it.

[@tracyjoell]

I just found your videos, thank you for sharing your information! I have worked in soft glass for a decade, now wanting to try Boro. Your videos are so helpful! My Mega Minor will not get the glass hot enough, can you recommend a torch that can do both? Thank you again! Tracy

[@kraqkr]

What dvd is it? I Def need something like that

[@jr6786]

Nicely done. My dot stacks turn into funky stupid looking smears no matter what I do. Medium or small flame…with or without compressed air and middle or back of the flame. Same problem when imploding fume or striking colors. I always seem to cook them to death in the process of shaping.

[@uteute9612]

Thank you so much for this great video!

[@kraqkr]

Tysm for this video. I think it's gonna help me a lot

[@crazymodelgarage6438]

super cool! i`d love to be able making this kind of stuff, just dont have the time, the money and knowledge to. grat work pal

[@monstershug1359]

Awesome demo. I’ve been watching this a couple times over the past months waiting for my skills to catch up. Quick question, when your doing the condensing part does the flame type matter oxy or reducing? You get it pretty hot, I’m guessing the fume doesn’t really burn out or pale once it’s in there? Thanks for the upload!

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

Correct... It's pretty much a oxy flame

[@marcosgimenez303]

awesome you rock pleaseee moreee!!

[@neillcrawford1]

Fantastic demo marble...I learnt a lot......:)

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

Thanks Neill! Great to hear!

[@maszaan7024]

First off, I love the format of talking and watching the video. Explanations for us beginners was awesome. I had a question tho. How di you clsoe the small tube end so you could just pop off the closure point?

[@tylerloving7132]

I keep having it implode too soon 😂 but like half are nice

[@MAGATRON-DESTROY]

I love fuming with gold and silver and it looks like the green on a flys butt

[@heathersprouse5505]

This is awesome Tim! Thank you so much for this. Also... Your eyebrows look much nicer now :)

[@hankspangle6964]

I love the intro song bro :D

[@friendlyglasscreations7000]

I really enjoy it as well. We need a extended version lol

[@michaelleeson2592]

This is amazing

[@tightpockets1]

After you fumed inside the tube, what kind of flame did you use to apply the clear dots and clear L shapes? I would be afraid to burn off my fume or mess up the fume . ...

[@Muddyorphan1812]

nice tap put mines made out of a big soft glass bowl i blew in beeville texas

[@MAGATRON-DESTROY]

Try this with scalloped tubing with no or just a few dots or lines

[@Muddyorphan1812]

i want a herby 40mm are you still using the same torch ?

[@johnridge6730]

thanks man

[@RyanPine]

Nice video..... why did you stop making these videos ? KZbin is a marathon not a sprint, just keep doing it.

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

I hear you. I no longer have access to video editing equipment... hope to get some new gear one of these days.

[@pangu_]

Great job 👍🏻

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

Thank you!

[@TheDreamElectric]

thank you!

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

No problem! Thanks for watching!

[@Muddyorphan1812]

learning inside out work .... hope you like burning your hand in the torch lol but i have a baracuda so its to smalll

[@Muddyorphan1812]

butterscotch i think works with cobalt too its been a whiel

[@valerianovember6942]

I'm sitting on the couch with my dog and I have tears in my eyes because u are missing your dog.... So sad to know that we have to say godbye one day. 💕

[@dialman1111]

thanks this was great.

[@derickdoveglass]

This is so awesome🤘

[@kathleensmith4516]

Do you make small beads like (12mm)? or 10mm??

[@yaidothat3868]

More, more, more, MOOOOOORE! Please and thank you! Great video, helped me a lot!

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

Thanks! More is on the way! :)

[@yaidothat3868]

Are you on other social media? FB, IG, ect...

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

Yes. @TimKeyzers on IG and just Tim Keyzers on fb

[@Spence4420]

Quick question. Can you put a fish hook inside a pendant. I have an idea that I am looking into

[@jefftompkins6202]

My sister made and bought marbles on ebay, when she past away, I inherited her entire Marble collection. Some are are signed by the makers.

[@kathyjones274]

That is wonderful that you loved what your sister did, it's a beautiful talent to have. Close friend of mine passed last year and the glass beads were her talent and I inherited alot of her beads. The glass is a beautiful thing

[@yousefkhodadadi5402]

Good 👍

[@sethsims3717]

How do you not burn away all the fumes???

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

Practice is my best advice. There are so many subtle variables that lead to the fuming not burning off - Surface temp before applying fuming, flame settings, where the metal is placed in the flame, timing, what the flame is allowed to hit, how you apply the clear over the fume, and the mood of the glass gods (and the list goes on).... Getting through the process as many times as possible is my best advice.

[@georgeedwardscott8161]

what do you do with your waste glass bits?

[@kylea4953]

Can use an ear plug to plug off the blow tube instead of closing it with heat. Its just faster.

[@merrylmalter4777]

I just discovered this video. Are you still around to answer questions. I have one.

[@johnduffey2409]

Nice video 👍👌

[@charlesheady3265]

Nice

[@mikesfound]

What would a marble like this cost? Retail

[@patrickdean9797]

nice

[@Muddyorphan1812]

do you still buy o2?

[@Muddyorphan1812]

i love amber purple

[@stp-zt7zr]

Thank you very much for this lesson!! P.S. If you are "behind the driver's seat" you are in the back seat. You want to drive, you want to be IN the driver's seat!! yes?

[@Muddyorphan1812]

i like 10 mill tube instead of pulling points

[@doumor99]

do you have a gallery?

[@themarbleheadshow6481]

no

[@peaceseeker123]

If I make marbles can I let them cook and take them to a kiln later at like a community college free kiln fire day?

[@pristineglassworx6306]

What’s the name of the song

[@patrickdean9797]

i think i missed the part where you did the fuming okay i cuaght it

[@HemaLatha-cq8yt]

😬

[@jsinprtn29]

I wish you would have shown the fuming parts. I don't understand why you went off camera to do the fuming

[@timothykeyzers4966]

6:00 - 6:05 shows gold fume... 6:11 - 6:15 shows silver fume....

[@jsinprtn29]

@@timothykeyzers4966 no he's using a clear rod. As soon as he starts to fume he goes off camera. Re-watch that part.

[@jsinprtn29]

@@timothykeyzers4966 unless you don't actually touch the glass with the rod while you're fuming. Well, don't I feel stupid lol.. It's in the name "fume" is like a vapor. I get it now... Sorry I second guessed you Tim.

[@timothykeyzers4966]

@@jsinprtn29 The gold and silver is on the tip of the clear rods. when the tip of the clear rod is put into the flame it transfers the gold or silver fume vapors to the tube... It happens really quickly - and the video captures it all... alls that is happening off camera is me picking up and putting down the glass rod that has the metal attached.

[@jsinprtn29]

@@timothykeyzers4966 yea I figured that out the 3rd time watching it. I saw the fumes and it clicked in my brain.. That's why it's called fuming,, duh..you have to forgive me I am a blonde so I'm prone to things going over my head. Thank you for taking the time to explain it to me. You do awesome work, BTW!!

[@travismiller5548]

So uh... how is metal fuming harmful? Pretty sure silver and gold are completely inert in the human body.

[@elizabethwatson71]

I’m several years late to the glass game, but here is my question. Who made what colors? I need to know so I don’t spend hours online, then blow my glass budget and still don’t have the right colors

i use ear plugs to pug my points
