Do you marver your beads?

[Jody Lee]

Yes, Love my Osibin lentil shaper too!

Hey Ali! You MARVER those beads?? I thought you just eye'd them and used gravity and such

I voted for the second option, but its more like a combo of #1 and #2

A cross between one and two for me also. If I am making spacers or easy donut beads, I rarely touch a marver. Everything else, anything goes. although my all time favorite tool that I use every single time I torch is a handy little paring knife lol.

I never marver donuts but I do use a graphite mould to ensure that beads in a set of rounds or discs are all the same size. Couldn't live without my lentil press though, and, I use an Osibin shaper for cones and a paddle for barrels.

I voted "Oh yeah! i marver the heck outta them!"

I love my torch top graphite marver and my graphite paddle. My husband made me the torch top and he adulterated the paddle with a hole in the corner so I could use it as a tail stock holder. My hands shake a lot so I desperately need all the help I can get!

I also love my CG Beadrollers - I have the one for donuts for regular mandrels AND the one for donuts for bhb mandrels.

I also gots me two Zoozii's presses, I'm getting pretty good with my little lentil press, but i have a ways to go to figure out how to use my seashell press. I think i just am not using enough glass for that.

And I poke, and pick, and tweezer, and groove, and rake the 'ell outta all my beads too.

I love tools.
