I am a Great Grandma now, but as a young girl, I was the marble Champ! We played at school and couldn't wait for the bell to ring for recess. We kept our marbles in large coffee cans and to this day, when I smell coffee I get a thrill and think of marbles. Planets, Shooters, Aggies, Steelies, Peeries, PeeWee's, Cat's Eyes...we played "for keeps". When you had a "real " marble, it was made of gemstones or real marble.

If we "lost our marbles" we would roll some out of real clay we dug up from the yard. They were tough to make well and sometimes they would shatter. Sometimes, we would heat the plain glass ones in the oven at home and put them in a bowl of cold water to make them crack, then play a game of "shatters". We rarely did this one unless you had won an excess of them. How I miss the days of NO COMPUTERS and kids playing outside from dawn till dusk!!!

VERY interesting video. I worked for twenty years as a neon glassblower.....very different process as shown here, but still many of the glass-process principles still apply. Rather than the "glory hole" arrangement, we used crossfires, (two opposing fire "jets") to do our work, bending glass tubes of various diameters into shape. I briefly worked with a young glassblower who learned his craft and skills from his father. This fellow was simply amazing in what he could do. He could make perfectly round marbles, with color or "cat's eyes" in the middle, using our crossfires and 6MM tubulation glass. No molds or instruments to manipulate the molten glass....only gravity and the ability to balance the "glob" of glass. I practiced this myself, and was able to make irregular-shaped marbles not perfectly round. I still own (and value) marbles he made. I wish I had a video to post of his method, but I love the memory of watching him work. Thanks for posting this.

I was about 7 years old in primary school, and I always wondered how the marbles were made. That was about 48 years ago. It's nice to see the basic concept of marble making hasn't changed much in all these years! They've been doing marble making for a very long time now, and it's not just marbles that can have glorious colored patterns in them, anything that can be blown or molded from a hot billet of glass can in theory have many different patterns applied to it!
I am 82yrs old, and I still remember playing 'marbles' when I was in grade school. All my marbles were made of glass except for one, my shooting marble, it was made from agate.
i literally just thought that to myself as well. Glassworks are the most fascinating type of artistry, I'm constantly drawn to it. In fact I've collected many glass pieces over the years. It definitely makes dusting (and moving) fun.
Ooooh dear...I could just imagine children and their parents sitting down together to watch this back in the day...when words like GLORY HOLE , GOB AND NOB started to be used...I know I couldn't control my self and would have to leave the room...and I'm pretty sure those weren't MARBLES but probably PAPER WEIGHT'S for some executive's desk!!!.😂😂💕🇬🇧

Have you walked through your local hardware store? Some pipes are connected by threaded 'nipples'. The object used to unclog your toilet that you relax yourself on to is called a 'plunger'. Paint 'stripper'. The following is from a discussion posted on houzz - " Men created names for plumbing construction hardware, right? tnfarmhousefixintnfarmhousefixin 7 years ago A bit off topic, but it is related to remodeling our bathroom. We've been without running water for 6 days! You know the story, "When You Give a Mouse a Cookie" - one thing leads to another? That's how most of our remodeling projects go.........Anyway, in the hopes of not having to use pool water to fill the toilet tanks and take a take a shower at the neighbor's for one more day, I make an emergency run to Home Depot to pick up some plumbing pieces DH needs to work through the night. I have no idea what most of these things are or where to find them so employees were helping me look for them. Seems silly, but it was a bit embarrassing and funny reading them my list out loud - 3/4" nipples (can I say that here?), 4' pipes, nuts, screws, male and female couplings, and on and on. Almost every item on my list except salt could be used to refer to a male and/or female body part, actual or slang, and/or an, um, intimate activity :-) I don't normally have a juvenile sense of humor and I'm not a prude but am I the only one to find this both odd and humorous?" It really is infantile when the posts go on and on like it's a bunch of 11 year olds commenting. The craft used to create these marbles is talent that has been honed and perfected. The marbles are their own type of jewel.
Forget the smutty innuendo! Admire skills of the glass artist, marvel at the astonishing complexity of the process and be amazed at the time and effort that goes in to producing one sphere of coloured glass. And to all those non-Brits and callow youths who imagine the narrator was innocently oblivious- google the phrase 'tongue in cheek'.
This was filmed at The House Of Marbles in Devon, England, they also have a little museum, a large wall with a marble run, they have a cafe and sell loads of different glass wear and other things, it's lovely!
Okay, "Glory Hole", "Rod", "Lubricant", "A Stroke", "The Nipple", "Hot Tools" AND sexy jazz sax from 4:18...?! 😂 (I originally came here to relive games of Marbles in the 1980s, not hear an amused old Brit narrator! 😂)

A bit off topic, but it is related to remodeling our bathroom. We've been without running water for 6 days! You know the story, "When You Give a Mouse a Cookie" - one thing leads to another? That's how most of our remodeling projects go.........Anyway, in the hopes of not having to use pool water to fill the toilet tanks and take a take a shower at the neighbor's for one more day, I make an emergency run to Home Depot to pick up some plumbing pieces DH needs to work through the night.
I have no idea what most of these things are or where to find them so employees were helping me look for them. Seems silly, but it was a bit embarrassing and funny reading them my list out loud - 3/4" nipples (can I say that here?), 4' pipes, nuts, screws, male and female couplings, and on and on.
Almost every item on my list except salt could be used to refer to a male and/or female body part, actual or slang, and/or an, um, intimate activity :-) I don't normally have a juvenile sense of humor and I'm not a prude but am I the only one to find this both odd and humorous?"
It really is infantile when the posts go on and on like it's a bunch of 11 year olds commenting.
The craft used to create these marbles is talent that has been honed and perfected. The marbles are their own type of jewel.
@@kimquinn7728 calm down karen it's a joke
Forget the smutty innuendo! Admire skills of the glass artist, marvel at the astonishing complexity of the process and be amazed at the time and effort that goes in to producing one sphere of coloured glass. And to all those non-Brits and callow youths who imagine the narrator was innocently oblivious- google the phrase 'tongue in cheek'.
"tongue in cheek" - Bollocks. And the Tongues are obviously being used elsewhere, at that Glory Hole !
I've been trying this whole video to make this wholesome but all these insane innuendo's are turning my mind into mush
“The senior blower is back at the glory hole” 😂😂😂
"Because glass blowers have to keep the glass on their rods hod enough to fiddle with". Lmao
POV, it's January 15 2021 and this JUST got into everyone's recommendations.
Abit late for me, this question had been on meye mind for ever since elementary school, eye miss hanging with meye old friends :(
The innuendos remind me of "Are you being served". All hail Mr. Humphries 😎
Nice one... Only missing Mrs Slowcome's Pussy...
"I'm free!" 😂
So that's how it done. Thank you for this video. My wife has all her marbles and I have only a few from my childhood.
Sometimes I dont have any either :)
I lost mine a while back.
we suspect you are swiping them from her
“Its a very important lubricant for the blowers hot tool” “the senior blower returns to the glory hole”
"the master blower heads toward the glory hole "
That's just a Thursday night...
“The senior blower is back at the glory hole”

This was filmed at The House Of Marbles in Devon, England, they also have a little museum, a large wall with a marble run, they have a cafe and sell loads of different glass wear and other things, it's lovely!
Had a look and they range from £60-100 each
@@edwardmurphy they have things for a few pounds and pick and mix Marbles, loads of board games :)
Excellent
Thank you for the relevant & useful info!
The Narrator seemed too obsessed with his own interests...
@edward
Collectors items, obviously.
Not for rough house play!
Okay, "Glory Hole", "Rod", "Lubricant", "A Stroke", "The Nipple", "Hot Tools" AND sexy jazz sax from 4:18...?! 😂
(I originally came here to relive games of Marbles in the 1980s, not hear an amused old Brit narrator! 😂)
tallaussiebloke I agree this narrator has issues
The senior blower is back at the glory hole.... My mind, I swear....
I'm about to comment the same thing until I saw your comment lol
