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. Everyone played marbles, and the playground had marble circles painted on the ground for the brutal games. They were more prized than gold. 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!!! I have my marbles and played with my grandchildren and great-great nephew & niece!

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.

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.

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!

Waiting on the day someone asks me, "what's the most useless piece of information you know?" so I can tell them that glass blowers call their ovens glory holes 😆

It's like in production they realized that there's no way around these innuendos, so they put all their effort into embracing it, but going just far enough to not overdo it. The sweet spot of innuendos.

That would give me alcohol poisoning though!

I was half asleep when I saw this video a few months ago. When he said, "The Marble Maker is at his glory hole." I was just like, "Pardon me?"

Me too! 😂😂

''Longer and longer it gets...until at last it looks like a skipping rope, while the other blower already has a gob on his rod....'' this is priceless stuff, so so many 'that's what she saids'

“Its a very important lubricant for the blowers hot tool” “the senior blower returns to the glory hole”

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

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!!!.😂😂💕🇬🇧

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 !

"Because glass blowers have to keep the glass on their rods hod enough to fiddle with". Lmao

I have more than 400 marbles of different sizes and colors that I won in playing where you shoot your opponents' marbles to make them go outside a circle. I was ten years old. I am now 77. They are quite pretty inside a fish bowl.

Keep them to the end, the joy you get from looking at them and remembering how you got them can not be replaced by any other feeling. Good for you!

I was born in the early 1980s and even then I still played with marbles growing up. Maybe my parents were a bit old-fashioned, but I really liked looking at all the pretty colors and designs that were found in marbles.

I wish I still had mine. I used to treasure the dobbers that I won. I wonder where they went along the years and all the house moves.

So happy to see that I'm not the only one who learned that they call the furnace the glory hole. >.
