Here's how I make Tube Cane Marbles. I learned this technique from Lee Zeigler around '03 have have been using it for cane building of all types and styles ever since. In this demo I make a solid cane which I typically get 3-5 marbles from. Simple and easy, but can definitely be elaborated on by creating different styles of cores.
Awesome. So simple. Why didn't I think of that.

badass!!! thats awesome, thanks for sharing, lots of info i picked up here. nice graphite v marver setup with the brass v cutting tool, and i dig the simple ventaltion and side ways mirror. i like how you finished the marble using the little hand torch to polish the punty mark and the high temp gloves for tossing in the kiln. i have a marble mold on a handle that i lay the marble on and bring up to the torch to remove the punty mark and toss in kiln. what kind of gloves are those?

you can make some really intricate murrini if you use stringer instead of canes
