Durston Wooden Bracelet Mandrel, Round

Description

This Durston Round Wooden Mandrel has been precision turned to offer the ideal surface for shaping and forming in a variety of materials.

Made from hardwood, this smooth round mandrel allows you to create perfectly curved surfaces ideal for hoop earrings, bangles, bracelets and pendants when used in conjunction with a mallet or by wire wrapping.

Not only is it suitable for forming soft metals such as; silver, gold, brass, copper and aluminium, it is also useful when working with thermoplastics such as acrylic.

To use, secure in a vice or steady between the bench and your body before shaping your bangle with a hammer or mallet. Care should be taken to keep surfaces clean, as marks can be transferred to the surface of the formed metal or plastic.

Please note; due to the nature of the material, this mandrel will mark if struck with force using a steel hammer or nylon mallet. Care must be taken so as not to damage the surface. We would recommend using a softer mallet such as Rawhide ().
