1/4" LFT Bead Mandrel

Building the main bead with an LFt mandrel is less complicated and less limiting than building up using a simple mandrel. It also allows the development of nice rounded centers, and more design and shaping on the outside bead. (The LFt mandrel can be used as a simple large-hole mandrel as well.)
A 1/4" hole in the center of the metal cylinder allows placement of a tiny bead (under 1/4") , while
two cross-holes perforate through the metal chamber to enable easy stringing through the bead.
Otherwise, make hollow hoops for earrings or put in just one cross-hole to simplistically create a drop style bead! Tips & Directions included
