Glad you make these videos/Just love the show!

[@TomHaroldArt]

Thanks, man! I'm glad I was finally able to complete the series. You requested a video on the marbles I use/have, and I should be able to get that done in the next week or two. Thanks again for checking out my work!

[@marblelegends-mastersofmar5033]

Always brother,I am your fan!

[@codymaasen1]

I am trying to learn how to get into this. I've always been amazed by these sculptures. You do great work. Where do you get your wire/rod for your track>

[@TomHaroldArt]

Thanks for checking out my video, Cody. I have a page on my web site (link in the description) that answers a lot of common questions for interested builders. I get the stainless for my artwork either from local metal supply shops or sometimes ordering online, whichever has the best price. There is a rolling ball sculpture Facebook group that is helpful answering questions as well. Best of luck to you!

Very nice work . Are you using SS wire ? .thx

[@TomHaroldArt]

Thank you for the compliment. Yes, this is 1/8" stainless wire. I have a Q&A on my web site that answers a lot of other builder questions at tomharold.com.

@@TomHaroldArt thx

Hello, what kind of wire do you have and what is its thickness?

[@TomHaroldArt]

It is stainless steel wire. The thickness is 1/8".

[@andreasherr6848]

Thank you for your quick answer, I would like to ask you again where I could buy such wire

[@TomHaroldArt]

@@andreasherr6848 I buy wire from either local metal supply shops or sometimes online. Search for "stainless steel suppliers in my area" and see what comes up.

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

All bent by hand. I assumed some fancy contraption(s) would be used.

[@xavierathorne]

What kind of welder is that?

[@TomHaroldArt]

It's an old Miller 150 STH. I think they have a newer model now, but it's the small, basic TIG welder that Miller makes.
