wvhillbillyjlm Posted March 23, 2014 Report Share Posted March 23, 2014 Are there any glass rattles available that are larger then the 7mm size? Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gadawgs Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I don't know if they sell em but you can make em pretty easy. It's been discussed before. Lots of variations. .22 shells and bbs is one common way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nedyarb Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 I use the plastic tube that they use to supply water to your refrigerator. Cuts really easy, put a lead shot in it and cap the ends with a piece of aluminum can punched out with a hole punch! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 If you can manage to drill an oversized hole for your glass worm rattles, and can trap them in the hole without gluing them in solid, they'll make more noise. Also, if you line the hole with metal tubing, you'll get two different rattles. I also use discs from alum. cans that I punch out with a hole punch. The punch is 5/16" in diameter, so I drill a small pilot hole from side to side in the crank, countersink 1/16" deep with a 5/16" bit to make a seat for the disc, and then use a smaller bit for the rattle bore, using the pilot hole to guide the bit from each side. I use PVC, so there's no need to line the hole, but I don't see any reason it wouldn't work with wood, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
