My
husband, "Dr. Fab", is often busy
downstairs in his workshop, developing new
tools, display materials
and other fun stuff for me.
Here are some of the items he's been working
on;
Now available (in limited quantities) for
you to play with too! |

| Puffy
Mandrels |
A
modified mandrel, adapted from the
glass blowing world for use by lampwork
beadmakers. The Puffy Mandrel allows
beadmakers with a basic understanding
of making hollow beads the ability
to make light, consistently thin walled,
even hollows! |

BREAKING NEWS IN
THE WORLD OF "PUFFY MANDRELS" !!!!
Puffy Mandrels are
now available in EITHER 3/32" (standard
size) or 1/8" (large size).
Mandrels are sold individually, and can be used over
and over again!
They are 12" long, made of
hollow stainless steel tubing, and have
been modified to allow you to combine wound
and blown technique. They include detailed
instructions. Basic understanding of wound hollow beadmaking
is necessary to produce the best results.
Smaller, evenly thin
walled beads can also be made with the Puffy
Mandrel, but it's easy to get carried away
and make large, lightweight glass balls!
We suggest you order several, because they're
addictive, and you won't want to stop!
