Hi!
I would appreciate any thoughts and recommendations on choosing a bangle forming mandrel. Wooden ones presumably are for forming around but wouldn't be good for applying textures like hammering.. I saw the Proops stepped ones on eBay, around £20 ..seem very cheap compared to cooksons ones. I remember reading on here that a mandrel with a very steep angle can make life difficult when making wider bangles. (My Dad is buying this for my birthday) Anyway thanks in advance for any comments!
