Smircich-Henley Graphite Paddle
$30.00 Part# GPSMIRCICH

This 2" X 4" graphite paddle incorporates the Smircich Tail Stock Holder into its design. One of the outside corners is clipped off at a 45º angle and has a cup shape. Vince Henley greatly improved on this by designing a stainless steel insert for the cup shape. Like the Smircich Tail Stock Holder, the paddle's special feature is used by placing the tip of the mandrel into the cup to steady it. By holding the paddle/tail stock holder in one hand and the mandrel in the other, you can control the bead within the flame more easily. It becomes instantly more stationary as you rotate the mandrel allowing you to place the bead in the flame exactly where you need it and keep the bead on center.

Graphite pads for marvering. Sanded smooth on both sides. Works great for marvering, flattening the bottom of vessels or holding pieces of silver, gold or palladium leaf when you roll the hot glass bead over them. Also makes an excellent "no wash" kiln shelf. No matter how hot it gets, glass will never stick to it. When used as a kiln shelf, it will disintegrate. As with all our graphite marvering pads, marvering paddles and torch marvers, they come with a lifetime free tune up. You cover the shipping, we'll re-sand the surface to new condition for free. Special sizes available.

Guarino Groovy Tool
2" X 2½" ..... $37.00 Part# STUMP-GUARIN
2" X 4" ..... $42.00 Part# STUMP-GUAR-2

The new Guarino Groovy Tool is a modified Graphite Stump Shaper. Designed by Andrea Guarino-Slemmons and her husband Whit Slemmons, the unique grooves make this tool a wonder for applying metal leaf and foil to hot glass beads, by burnishing it along the curves and right down to and around the mandrel holes. Note: The grooves do make the tool more delicate. Mishandling will lead to the tip breaking. As with all Arrow Springs made graphite tools, we will redress damaged tools to new like condition for free, but the overall length of the graphite will be shorter. See details at beginning of tools section.

Mikie Shaper

Stainless Steel Marvering Pad
$10.00 Part# SSMAR

Heavy gauge stainless steel, that sits 3/8" off the table, makes a great alternative to graphite. Since stainless steel has a relatively low thermal conductivity, you will find that it probably will never get hot enough to stick to glass. 6" X 6"

Pyramid Press
$8.95 Part# SH-PYRA34PRE

At one end of the Pyramid Press is a 3-Sided profile that impresses an inverted, 3-sided pyramid pattern when pressed into hot glass. The other end has a 4-sided profile to impress an inverted 4-sided pyramid pattern. Made from 1/4" x 6" (6mm x 15cm) stainless steel.

Oval Bracelet Mandrel
Mandrel ..... $36.00 Part# MANOVL
Mandrel With Base ..... $65.00 Part# MANOVLB

Used to make lampworked glass bracelets. The Mandrel with Base model comes with a 12" X 12" base that securely holds the bracelet mandrel at the proper angle.

Ring Mandrel
Mandrel Only ..... $22.00 Part # MAN-RINGNG
Mandrel with Stand ..... $40.00 Part # MAN-RINGNGWS

This solid steel Ring Mandrel is ideal for making glass rings since it has no grooves or markings. Used for shaping and sizing. Working area is 9" long for ring sizes 1 to 15.

The ring mandrel is used bare, without mandrel release and cold.

For the Ring Mandrel with Stand model, place it on the work table to the side of the flame with the narrow end of the mandrel facing you. For the Ring Mandrel only model, position it to hang off your work table, to the side of the flame with the narrow end of the mandrel facing you. The big end sits on the table with either a weight holding it down or a strap can be used. Neither weight or strap is provided.

Heat up a mass of glass just like you do when you are pulling a stringer or making a twisty. You should only melt only enough glass to pull out a thickness and length that would make a ring. When the glass is ready to pull, position it over the ring mandrel, at a location of the taper that is the ring size you want. Now is the important timing part. Pull it out and use the punties to wrap it around the mandrel while the glass is still flexible. Bring the two punties together and press them together to complete the circle. Remove one punty, attach a new "cold" punty on the opposite side and then remove the other original punty. Clean up the joined area. Then, if necessary, gently reheat the whole ring and straighten it using the mandrel for roundness and a paddle or pad for flatness. Remove the "cold" punty. The area of the ring where the two punties come together is where you can attach a decorative element if it looks a bit wonky.

You can also wrap only three quarters around the mandrel, leaving a little of the ring hang away from the mandrel. Then nip off one of the punties, attach a new "cold" punty half way around, remove the other original punty and use tweezers to manipulate the two loose ends of the ring together. Reshape as described above. Remove the "cold" punty. This second way is good for rings that have a spiral band and do not have a decorative element to cover up the join. It is harder to do then the first way.

A nice variation is to make the center of the pull thicker than the sides, where the punties are attached. This gives you a ring with an elegant bulge on the top of your hand. The joined area is on the palm side of your hand where it is not seen. There is a lampworker in Venice making these; only they were twice the size of a ring, as pendants. On some of them he put pieces of goldstone positioned in the center of the bulge. It took him just a few minutes each and they sold for what is equal to $30 to $40. He used the first method as described above.

Both methods do take practice. Expect your first few to not look so good. Within a few goes you will get it down.

Spinning Top Mold
1" Diameter ..... $38.00 Part# MOLTOP1

Cylinder Speed Shaper
$69.00 Part # GPCYLINDER

The new Cylinder Speed Shaper is one of the most innovative lampworking tools to have been developed in years. Now you can quickly and expertly shape cylinder beads on both the cylinder side and at the end—all in one, smooth motion. Plus, you'll get the crispest edges you've ever seen! You'll be able to produce consistent results in far less time. Without a doubt, the Cylinder Speed Shaper is an innovation as important to making cylindrical beads as was the mandrel. You'll see the difference it makes when your beads nestle up to another flat surface as on a pen body or cap of a BeadPen.

Baroque Shaper
$32.00 Part# GPBAROQUE

Graphite mold has three sizes of Ogee profiles to make beads with a baroque look. The three sizes make ½" (12.7 mm), ¾" (19 mm) and 1" (25.4 mm) long beads. Pictured are two beads made in the medium size profile, with one decorated, and one large bead.

Osibin Former
Small ..... $34.00 Part# GPFORMERSM
Medium ..... $39.00 Part# GPFORMERMED
Large ..... $45.00 Part# GPFORMERLG
X-Large ..... $50.00 Part# GPFORMERXLG

Graphite shaping tool for superbly making the subtle shapes that make the best goddess, fish and bug bodies as well as elegant amphora vessel shapes and ovals. Each side of this two sided shaping paddle has one half of an oval shape cut into it. The oval starts as a narrow and shallow curve, and as it widens out it gets deeper. The radius of the curve of the oval is different on each side of the shaping paddle, for all four different sizes. These tools are so flexible, that they can make very small or very large shapes, all faster and better than using a traditional flat paddle. The former's curved profile is cut using a ball shaped cutter. The Small size Osibin Former has curves made from 1" diameter and a 1¼" diameter cutters. The Medium size is made from 1½" and 2" cutters. The Large 2½" and 3". The X-Large 3½ and 4".

Osibin Curve Shaper
$40.00 Part# GPCURVE

The graphite Osibin Curve Shaper has a large curve area, like a half-pipe, for making curvy specialty shapes.

Osibin Sphere, Oblate and Disc Former
$60.00 Part# GPDISK

The Osibin Sphere, Oblate and Disc Former is a graphite shaping tool with six different, round bottomed, grooves, three on each side. At the edge of the tool, the grooves are about one and one half as deep as they are wide. As the grooves extend into the graphite, they become shallower, until there is no depth left. Each groove is a different width to create different bead sizes. Groove widths are 3/8", 1/2", 5/8", 3/4", 7/8" and 1". The former will make an oval bead when working close to the shallow end. A little further in creates a nice sphere or round bead. Towards the deeper end will form an oblate bead and near the very end will create perfect donut or disc beads.

Lentil Shapers
Original Osibin Lentil Shaper $37.00 Part# GPLENTIL
New, Larger Lisa Fletcher Lentil Shaper $40.00 Part# GPLENTIL-LF

The larger Lisa Fletcher Lentil Shaper has two larger curve profiles for making scaled up lentil shaped beads than the original four profile Osibin Lentil Shaper makes. It is also great when you want to make smaller lentil beads with a lower profile curve. Better than pressing the glass between two curved shapes of a mashing tool, because each of the tools' profiles have a different curve to them that, when worked over the glass, can give you near limitless diameters and profiles. Used by heating one side of the bead and working the softened glass in the mold, then heating the other side and working that side. The final form takes shape surprisingly fast

All of the profiles are about 3/16"(4.7mm deep. The chart below lists the diameter of each profile, as measured across the graphite and the curve of the profile, referring to the diameter of the sphere shaped cutter that made the curve into the graphite.

Osibin Lentil Shaper (Original)
Diameter of Profile	Curve of Sphere
13/16" (20.6mm)	1¼" (31.7mm)
1" (25.4mm)	1¼" (31.7mm)
1¼" (31.7mm)	2½" (63.5mm)
1¾" (44.4mm)	3½" (88.9mm)

Lisa Fletcher Lentil Shaper (Newer Larger)
Diameter of Profile	Curve of Sphere
1-11/16" (42.8mm)	4" (101.6mm)
2" (50.8mm)	5½" (137.7mm)

Kim Cylinder, Cone and Vessel Shaper
$38.00 Part# GPBICONE2

This is one of the most versatile graphite glass shaping tools. It is used for shaping bi-cones, cones and vessel shapes. It can be used two different ways. One method is to hold the mandrel, with glass on it, perpendicular to the direction of the tapered V groove and rotate the mandrel to shape a symmetrical bi-cone with straight sides and a 90º center angle. The over all size of the bi-cone is determined by the amount of glass originally put onto the mandrel, up to what will fit in the mold. The other method is to hold the mandrel, with glass on it, parallel to the direction of one of the two V grooves. Two tapered grooves are arranged in reverse to each other to facilitate easy shaping on both the left and right side of the bead. By holding the mandrel at different angles to the groove, you can make any length or angle cone, bi-cone or vessel shape with either a straight or curved profile. Typically, one end of a bi-cone is shaped in one of the V grooves, then the other end is shaped in the other V groove. The over all size of the finished shape is not limited by the size of the V groove.

Osibin Multi Groove Shaper
$40.00 Part# GP-MULTI

There are four 90º V-grooves, each at a different depth. Shape glass on or off the mandrel, aligned with or perpendicular to the grooves. Used for making cones, bi-cones, vessels and a 101 other uses.

Button and Knob Mold
$45.00 Part# MOLBUT-A

Graphite mold with 9 round shapes of different diameters and profiles for forming buttons and knobs and more. Use instructions.

Smircich Button Masher
$30.00 Part# SMIR-BM

Developed by Jim Smircich, the Smircich Button Masher is a pliers with a stainless pad on each jaw set parallel to each other at 1/8". One pad extends further than the other. To shape a button you first melt a round ball of glass at the end of a glass rod. Next, set the end of the molten glass ball onto a graphite pad, with the glass rod pointing skyward, to flatten the end of the glass ball. Reheat the glass and use the mashers to shape the button face to a gentle dome shape. The longer pliers pad shapes the face of the button while the shorter pad rests against the glass rod and shapes the back of the button. The glass rod can later become the button's loop.

Ludwig Multi-Line Blade Tool
1/8" Spacing ..... $30.00 Part# SH-MULTI18
3/32" Spacing ..... $30.00 Part# SH-MULT332

Long time Arrow Springs toolmaker and accomplished beadmaker, Rob Ludwig, was thinking about beads while making a run of Sharon Shapers (Utility Blade Tool) and he thought, what if I put four blades side-by-side with a space between them? And viola! Not all great tool ideas are so great, but this one sure is.

Just heat up an area of your bead, pendant or other glass work and press the sharp edges of the blades against the hot glass. It's that simple. Because all four line impressions are made at once, they all look crisp, neat and clean, unlike when an impression made one at a time distorts the one before it. If you want more than four line impressions wide, no problem. Simply heat an area of the glass next to the first set of impressions and press the tool to the hot glass next to it, while overlapping one two or three of the lines. This way you can add one, two or three lines at a time while the overlapping keeps the previous lines from losing their detail. Two versions; One with the blades spaced 3/32" apart and one spaced at 1/8". Because we manufacture these tools, custom blade spacing is available by special request.

Sharon Shaper ..... $7.00 Part# SHUB2
Baleen Tool Set (1 of all 7 tools listed above) ..... $49.95 Part# SH-BALEEN7

From the talented creations of Michael Barley's Baleen series of beads comes the Arrow Springs line of Barley Baleen Tools. When Michael visited the Whale Museum in Friday Harbor, Washington and saw a display of baleen, the filtering structure in the mouth of baleen whales, he was intrigued and inspired to incorporate the pattern as a design element into his beadwork. Today, Michael's Baleen Bead designs are world renowned for their beauty.

Up until now, Michael has always used the Sharon Shaper as the primary tool for forming the baleen design element. Arrow Springs has designed five new tools to complement the Sharon Shaper. Like the Sharon Shaper, which is a sharp edged razor tool, four of the new tools are curved to each have a different radius, and a fifth tool is corrugated. The tools are available through Arrow Springs and an eighteen page tutorial is available for purchase from Michael on his Etsy web page. It is an excellent tutorial with clear step-by-step instruction and plenty of color pictures. The second to last page shows examples of Michael's Baleen Beads using the Sharon Shaper, while the last page shows examples of Michael's Baleen Beads using the newly available Barley Baleen Tools.

The first bead on page 18 of Michael's tutorial was made using the Barley Curve Razor Tool #2. Curve Razor Tool #1 has a tighter radius. #3 has a larger radius than #2 and #4 is larger than #3. The second bead on the page was made with the Barley Wave Razor Tool. Of course, the use of these tools is not limited to just making Barley Baleen beads. They can be used for any lampworking application your imagination can come up with.
