This group of tools is part of my method of making beads. I use all of these tools myself. Shipping will be quoted at time of order.
Paddle with hole for mandrel ..... $25.00
This paddle is 2 x 4 inches. The length is important for a full stroke
while mavering a bead shape without the 'skidding' action that will smear
your designs. The hole in the paddle is to support the mandrel end while
centering beads. The hole has a metal insert* that will never enlarge or
wear out.
* The idea for this metal insert was originally a Vince Henley innovation.
Pair of armrests (C-clamp not included) ..... $35.00
These armrests provide support for the arms and help relieve stress in the neck and shoulders. Used in conjunction with the paddle support you’ll find a great deal more control of you hot glass.
Smircich Button masher ..... $35.00
This tool allows you to make a thin (1/8”) disk for a button blank from a flattened ball of hot glass at the end of a glass rod. |
