Silly me!<br />For the price of a couple of set of 1/16 brass handled mandrels, I could buy an entire package of pound of stainless steel rods locally at my Princess Auto. They are 36" long and once cut into 3's I have over 60 mandrels.<br />Believe me, if one of the 60 bends, no biggie. I usually only replace one per year, and I make a lot of beads!<br />I work predominately with 1/16 so this saves me lots of $$ to buy more glass!<br />Smiles,<br />DarleneDarlenehttp://www.pendragonfyre.comnoreply@blogger.com
