codd tumbling?
Mike, thanks again for your tips about codd tumbling, I will keep you posted on my bottle tumbling project. I'm interested to know why you immobilised the marble, was it through an actual breakage or an expected one? All the best for a speedy recovery. Darren- lost marble

codd tumbling?
Anybody successfully tumbled a British Codd bottle? Are there any problems with the marble chamber clogging with copper, particularly with the small sized (6oz) or narrow neck Codds?- lost marble
