Thanks for this Jolene - I have been dying to make buttons (and even have a commission for some if I can manage to do it!) but the button mandrels I bought from Howaco (or Moretti & More) are two prongs fixed on the mandrel so you have no way of getting the buttons off once they are made as you can't twist, whereas with this one you can take them out of the holder. I know the electronic mandrel spinner also has this facility but I didn't want to buy the whole shebang just to get the button mandrel so I am really pleased you pointed me to this site!
