CG Beadrollers - have you tried one?

firedinglass · March 31, 2010, 07:35:47 PM

I really like the look of the donut spacer......to make the postage worthwhile i really ought to buy 2 , it's only a few euros more p&p. And if the pound goes down against the euro, they'll be even more expensive...... who am i trying to convince.....

I have been drooling over them too -might treat myself at FO save on the P&P

Well, I'm convinced - ordered for collection at Flame Off

Thanks everyone for your comments - I can tell the OH I was talked into it!!

Quick question?

If there a UK seller of these? I can only find them on the actual CG website

EDIT: Found them

Where??!!

I'm confused

I think the CG Beadrollers are only in the US. The only similar thing I've found in the UK are the graphite marvers on Tuffnells - or am I completely wrong

(wouldn't be unusual

)

I know Frit en glass sells them - they're in the Netherlands

Will someone be selling them at the Flame Off?

Frit en Glas is at the Flame Off, I think.

Ohh dear, I have something else to add to my wishlist... But what size mandrel should I be considering getting one for? So far I've only used my 1.6mm mandrels, but I have a load of 2mm and a small number of 2.4mm. Anyone know if the larger beadrollers will work with a range of sizes?

I've ordered from Frit en Glas (European distributor according to the cgbeads website) as they're coming to the Flame Off - wanted to save postage but didn't want to risk them not having the one I wanted on the day.

ha! another tool to covet...I want one

unfortunately told hubby only the other day, that I probably had every tool I could ever want...will have to surprise him at the Flame Off...now to be nice to him until then

I am not coming to the flame off. (recovering from an operation) , do you think if I ordered one they would put it in the post for me when they get over here.

I've used my smaller mandrels(1.6-2.4mm) with the BHB beadrollers, but not big mandrels(5mm+) with the smaller mandrel aperture beadrollers - does that make sense?

So I think the answer's yes!
