Finally Made My Own Hot Fingers
Yep. I've had the free tut from here http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/show...fingers+marble for some time and I finally got around to making them. Easy peasy. And I had everything I needed at home already.
A couple of differences : I just used a nut to push up and down on the mandrels instead of a collar "thingie". I used 5 mandrels instead of only 3.
As you can see, it works like a charm. I may still cut down the top part of the mandrels yet. They look a little long. Saved me a bundle.
ETA: So there is no confusion - this was posted some time ago on LE in this thread. http://lampworketc.com/forums/showth...ht=hot+fingers

Let me be the first to congratulate you on a fantastic job! It looks great! I personally have no need for a hot fingers, but yours definitely looks top notch.

Very very nice! I may need to do this too - I was pricing hot fingers and they were $45!
Good job and thanks for posting!

I have saved so many little tidbits of info and freebies from this forum over the years that have come in so very handy it's just incredible ! This little tut is just one of MANY. I must say again - Thanks to all that have made my beadmaking life a little bit easier. I love reposting or bringing stuff back to the top when they may have been long forgotten and when the need comes up now and again.

I've been making my own for years but I've never thought of using a nut as a slider. Mine were a ring of twisted metal and not very easy to push back and forth. Excellent idea !
