It seems like no matter what size I use people want a different size. I just make beads on different size mandrels. I guess depending on what the bead will be used for can help determine the size of the mandrel. Will it be put on a thick cord or ribbon? Then a bigger mandrel. Will it be strung on something like beadalon? A smaller mandrel.
I get almost all of my mandrels at a welding supple shop. You can buy pounds and cut them to the length you want.
