Thanks.

 

 I prefer the first video.  I find narration irritating.

Same for me.  Also the machinery in the first was more interesting.

How hand blown marbles are made.

Dang.  I was expecting a thread 'bout gun sights.  Some of my favorites are "Marble's!"  

 

That said, I've always loved marbles.  And THAT said, I was shocked to discover how difficult they were to come by when I set out to have my cub scouts den earn their Marbles Belt Loop.  Dunno if it's universal or just a california thing, but the toy stores wouldn't seem 'em - "it's a liability thing, 'cuz kids might swallow one!"

 

Sheesh.  

 

Finally found 'em at Wal Mart, in the pet department - sold as aquarium decoration.
