Default Where do these tools hail from?

I bought a bunch of used stuff when I first started this hobby and some tools came with the lot. My marvers and marble molds are graphite with threaded inserts in them. I have matching wooden handles that screw into the molds/marvers and are all interchangeable.

A guy that's been coming over my house to do some glasswork wants to know where he can get some. I can't contact the person I got them from because the PMs have been purged.

I'm attaching a pic of the tools. If you know where to get ones like these, please let me know so I can let him know.

Thanks,
-BEP

Default Search

Just search for lampwork bead tools most of those should be easy to find on the web. Or graphite bead tools. And/or glass tubing cutter.
Divardi Glass has lots. Howaco glass etc.

Thanks, Hyper.

I've searched and haven't been able to find them. He wants these exact ones - thick wooden handles that screw into the graphite.

I should just sell him mine and get one that I want since I'm not real attached to them.

Default C'mon

They are not that much different. Those tools probably fell by the wayside long ago. If you get good at this you should be able to work with any tool.
