Product Description

Mandrels are made of stainless steel and have a very low heat transfer. This means your fingers will stay cool even while you're working in a direct open flame. Use the bead rake to manipulate molten glass by dragging, raking, feathering or swirling the surface. You can also create air bubbles or poke holes through the glass; a bent tip provides a more comfortable grip. Set includes twelve 3/32" mandrels and bead rake. Rods measure 10" long.

  •   Nice and straight
By on
Pros : Good mandrels and tool. No weird misshapen ones and the end cuts are clean.
Cons : Need to be burned and scraped with pliers or another tool to prepare them before use to get any residue off and make the bead release stick, which takes some minor effort. But you need to do this, or you will lose your beads so be aware. Once broken in like this they are great.

  •   Great start
By on
Pros : The bead rake has both a straight end and a bent end which allows the user to determine which method of holding the rake suites them best. The mandrels are stainless steal which is great because they don't rust. They are nice and straight which helps form a nice round bead.
Cons : These mandrels are a little large. They are almost 1/8" so when you add bead release your hole will be a bit larger. Make sure this is the size hole you want in your bead.

When and how did you get started in stained glass? Ive been interested in stained glass for as long as I can remember. As a child, I would sit in churches and watch the (often) biblical depictions come to life when a stray ray of sunlight cast its illumination our way. Sun shadows dancing. I dabbled in many media over the years, trying to find an outlet for some of the visions careening inside, but none of them took. Drawing, painting - even watercolours - no amount of professional training could guide my hand in a satisfactory way. But then there was the glass. I lived abroad for a few years, and wound my way through Europe on my way back to the States when I finished my Peace Corps Service. My last international destination was Paris, where one of my closest friends lives as an organist. Two beautiful autumn

4 Ways to Stop Procrastinating Today
Apr 30, 2010
Chances are, right now, in reading this blog post, youre avoiding an overdue task. I too was avoiding a laundry list of work-related tasks in writing this. Procrastination is a part of life, and its certainly always been a part of mine. As a teenager, my parents would accuse me of putting off everything from piano practice to math homework. Id vehemently deny their charges hissing back, I work better under pressure. The truth was, I often felt overwhelmed, under-productive and anxious. Over the years, Ive been able to combat my avoidance issues using 4 tools. The trick is constantly reminding myself of these actions, because they do not come naturally to me. 1. Just Say No. I say yes to everything. Need someone to head up that event? Sure. Want me to design 12 posters for the Car Wash? No problem. Take your kid to daycare? Of course.
