Which press?

[Charli!]

Which press:

Zoozii Charm Press (http://www.zooziis.com/browseproducts/Charm-Box.HTML) or the CG garden variety pandora roller (http://www.cgbeads.com/beads_mixed.html)??

the will both cost me a smiliar extortionate amount go get them into the country (I only mutter because DHL got me with a stinger of a charge today!)
The zoozii one has more shapes, but then I imagine it to be rather heavy to use- all that brass!

I find the cg beadrollers much easier to use and if the weight for shipping is an issue, they are much lighter than the brass!

It all depends on skill level IMHO. If you can make consistent even shapes the size of the cavity then I would say CG's, it is a tool that shapes your glass to the final shape. If you have difficulty making consistent even shapes I would go for Amy's (Zoozii) because you can all ways get nice even shapes (not wonky) with pressing and then adding extra glass if needed then repressing. Now if you had an EMS(electric mandrel spinner) I would say CG's... then again you have more shapes with Zoozii's....The pro's and con's are endless.

What ever you decide they are both wonderful people with great products.

I find the Cattwalk tube shaper to be super easy to use for both tubes and doughnut shaped beads including the Pandoras. Plus, if you order 2, there is a big break for overseas shipping and silver, gold and palladium books are 1/2 off. http://www.cattwalk.com/formingtrays.htm
