The Beadsmith Wooden Mandrel Set, 6 Piece Dowel Kit, with Labeled Storage Case, Sizes .25"-1" (6.4-25.4mm), Rods for Wire Forming

Great for making jump rings, hoops or links. Love how compact it is in its case. And the price point is great! The Beadsmith makes quality tools.

I was looking for a mandrel set to help roll some of the metal pieces in my metal models (such as with The Mandalorian’s legs and arms pieces, among others). In my opinion, these wooden dowels are perfect! I can get a perfect roll every time, though I still have to use my smaller metal mandrels for the tiny little metal pieces that need to be rolled.These wooden mandrels are better than my metal mandrels in many ways; one way is that the wood is much more “grippy”. The metal mandrels are really smooth, and they slide around in my fingers, which sometimes makes it difficult to keep the metal pieces on the mandrel as I try to roll a model piece around it. With the wooden mandrels, this is no longer an issue for me. Plus, these mandrels are much longer, giving me plenty of room to hold the mandrel as I use them.Overall, I am very happy with this set of wooden mandrels. Inexpensive, and very useful!

It is great product, although a little pricy...I wish they had mm measurement printed on the wooden rods or case. In wire jewelry world, designers use mm most of time for ring type of forms.

Me gusto mucho porque es de madera y no maltrata mis alambres

Everything is great, the only downside is the 3/8 mandrel is too small for its assigned loop in the case. So it slips right out. Other than that, pretty good.

I am not a jewelry maker, I'm a sculptural needle felt artist, and I LOVE this dowel set! I received them very quickly (two days), which was terrific because I was horribly impatient to try using them for my needle felting. I bought them to replace some rolled paper lollipop and candy sticks, because I wanted more permanent sticks. And when I found these, I thought they might be the solution. And, other than needing to wipe some dust off, they were ready to use immediately, and absolutely perfect for my needs! Super smooth, so they don't snag the wool fiber when I wind it around the dowels, and the 5-1/2" (or so) length works well for the size of things I make. The variety of thicknesses gives me nearly unlimited options! I was going to by individual dowels, cut them to length, sand them and use them, but why? Once I found this set, I was very excited, and the carrying case means I can keep them handy and protected all in one convenient place, tucked into my supply bag. I couldn't be happier with them!

I LOve the BeadSmith Wood-1 Wooden Mandrel set. It’s wonderful to grab these in the convenient carry case. Perfect sizes for jewelry and wire working. Great value and well made. Shipped quickly and packaging was very nice too.

Great dowels for size mandrels. I do wire wrapping and these work great for the different sizes that I need. Solid wood, Sturdy and have so far held up well. I think they would be good for dot mandala's as well because the ends are flat in varying sizes for the different sized dots. Haven't tried it yet but will soon.

I am so happy to have bought these. I make loops or use them for viking knit projects, so many uses for creating beautiful things.

Exactly what I needed thank you
