Hello

Has anyone tried the Bead Cap Mandrel - http://www.inspirationtoolworks.com/lampworking/0003/

What did you think? How did they work? How do you use them? If you do not feel comfortable saying your piece please PM me K?

Where I sit now they look great.

Well, I liked it enough to buy it months ago, and promptly lost it in my mess of a house. I'd sure like to melt glass on it!!!--Gail

Way to funny Gail. \\:D/ Maybe you could ask the general populace as the person who lost their passport did. lol lol

They do look cool.

What size did you get Gail? Sometimes I hate choices....or which size do you think would get the most use?

I think it is one of the smaller ones...possibly the smallest. I figured that by the time I had the thickness of the glass on it, it would look pretty large, and I don't tend to use huge beads or lots and lots of strands (for the opening side). Sigh...maybe it is hiding with my new boro book. Can't find that either.-Gail

Jeff is one of the all-time greats when it comes to mandrel design.

Does anyone have a picture of a glass endscap? It seems like a darn fine idea so I am surprised that noone is using this tool?

Hi all! (Thanks Mike!)

There are a few pictures in the cutomer creations gallery on my site for that tool:

I also need to put up pictures of a bead cap by Patti Cahill.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
