Hi Kalera,

Can you tell me how to make mandrels? Where to get the steel? I am assuming Home Depot or Lowes. Not a question about your beautiful beads but you are such a wealth of info and I can't find any info. hmmmmm.....

Also, what size mandrels do you use and why?

I am forever bending them accidentally when removing beads and then cutting them shorter so that I can use them. I run through them so quickly. It gets expensive.

I would like to use larger than 1/16 but my customers don't like a hole any larger it seems.

Thank you O GREAT ONE!!!!

Kitty
