Pros : The book is good, and the individual components are good individually. However -- the book recommends 1/32" shelf paper, but the kit includes 1/8", which is tricky to wrap and cracks just as the book says. The included medium/large mandrel is supposed to fit 6-8" wrists, but my mandrel has a circumference of 6 1/2" -- too large for me, so I had to buy the small one separately. The tongs needed some tweaking, they had to be re-shaped to the proper angle, and the graphite pads needed tightening (mid-bend, unfortunately). Now that these problems are solved, and I've got all the bits I need, I am confident that I can start making some good bracelets. And it is fun.
|
Cons : No real cons, just some frustrating delays and extra money outlays.
|
| Other Thoughts : Check all the components before you get started, and measure everything -- you may have to make some adjustments or buy some other parts. |
