These aren't what were sold before are they?

who was it, arrow springs? Most hated them and as you can tell they never took off...if this is the same thing.

Oh yes, they were tungsten, there were a few threads here....again, if this is the same thing.

I am intrigued and look forward to hearing more!

I'd be willing to give it a try.

I bought one of the tungsten mandrels and just couldn't get the hang of it. It was worth a try.

I hope your idea works, Mike!

These new mandrels sound amazing .. any word on how the testing is going Mike?

Sounds very interesting...I've been wondering about that too.

Here's to a good ending of the process. I would use them.

I definitely would want to try them. It's a pain trying to get the residue out of a transparent bead, and cleaning can take hours when I've been making spacers, even with a dremel.

Curious- was any progress ever made on these?

Hey Mike is you can do it I'd love to try one. And if possible could you make a truly non-stick fry pan!!!?? I've had so many that suck its unreal!!!
