Default bead liners

My mum is going to get me a pandora bracelet for christmas and everything I need to line my own beads.
I was wondering which is the best tool on the market to put sterling silver cores in my beads? I remember there used to be one around $70???

Which size mandrels do I need and how many would you buy? Where can I buy them from?

And also where do I get the silver tubing from?

Are there any other tools I need to cut the tubing etc?

Is there a store that sells all of the above?

How hard is it to just do by hand with dapping tools?

Sorry for so many questions just I better get a wriggle on and pick everything out to order it by Christmas so I can have it delivered to Australia in time.


Also just out of interest is there any reputable online US suppliers of Pandora bracelets and charms you would recommend? A plain silver charm sells for $30 AU here which I think is roughly about $28 US.


Thanks for your help and taking the time to answer my questions!

Cheers
Leanne.

This should give you all the information you need. If you don't find what your looking for do a search of the tips and technique section here. There is lots and lots of information here. I've been reading this for days DH said he was going to buy me the tools for Christmas too.
