Ludwig Multi-Line Blade Tool
|

Regularly $24.95
SALE $17.95
|
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.

SALE $6.49

Having a hard time with the center of your flowers running into the petals? How about adjusting raised lines, such as stems and branches? This stainless steel tweezers is ideal for plucking the center of a flower design, giving it a clean, crisp and defined center as well as the manipulation of stems for the perfectly designed bead or sculpture. Overall length is 6½" (165 mm). The length of the tip on the very popular original Standard size is about 1/8" (3 mm). The New Small size is about 5/64" (2 mm) for very small detail work.

NEW TOOL Flute Roller
|


|
ONLY $19.95
|
This new design in a coil roller/impression tool leaves a neat, clean, curved, fluted pattern in glass. Unlike versions of this tool made from hardware bolts that leave more of a V impression, we've taken the same material that 3/32" stainless steel mandrels are made from and tightly coiled it, then mounted it to an 1/8" mandrel as a handle. Use it by rolling it against hot glass or simply press it in a area.

Hand and Arm Rest
|

|
|
The Arrow Springs Hand and Arm Rest is everything you expect it should be and more. Starting with a stout chassis, we mounted swept back wings, one on each side. Without the use of tools the wings easily adjust to a custom fit for hours of lampworking enjoyment. The wings adjust up and down so you can properly hold your glass rods and tools in alignment with the flame comfortably. They also rotate so the angle of their generous 2½" (6.3cm) padded width conforms to your forearm or wrist or hand comfortably. Get the idea here, ergonomics and comfort. If you can work comfortably, you can work better and longer and enjoy it more. From tip-to-tip, the wing span is 22" (56cm), yet with their cantilevered design, you can easily reach under them when you need to present the glass or tool from under the flame.
Now for the really cool part: between the wings is a snap-in graphite pad with a very generous 2½" x 3¾" working area. The graphite pad that comes standard is smooth on both sides. Use the second side should you damage the first or carve patterns or molds into it for an infinite variety of possibilities. In the coming weeks we will be offering accessory graphite pads with some of the classic shapes and profiles found in our hand held shaping molds, such as, but not limited to, Marble Molds, Osibin Lentil Shaper and Osibin Formers. Changing the graphite is literally a snap.
Finally, at the center of the Hand and Arm Rest the chassis adjusts securely around your torch. With four base positions forward to back and height adjustment, it perfectly mates with the following torches or other torches of similar size or shape: Minor Burner, Mega Minor Burner, Mid Range, Mini CC, WildCat, HellCat, Little Dragon 7 Bead Burner, Little Dragon 21 Bead Burner, Bullet Burner, Cricket, Bobcat, Lynx and Cheetah. Torch not included. $139.95

NEW! Ruffler Shaping Tool
|

 Only $19.95
|
Our new Ruffler Shaper mashes a ruffle pattern into glass that can also be easily turned into a bird wing or fish fin. There are two versions. One version has a straight end to nest up tight to a cylinder shaped bead or straight edged form. The other has a curve to it to more closely follow a curved form. Either will work on any type of base form nicely.
In the bead samples pictured, the oval bead has two ruffles that were applied. One ruffle was applied in a straight line, running parallel to the bead hole. The other ruffle was applied at a diagonal, like a barber pole. Both ruffles were made using the Curve End Ruffler.
The Straight End Ruffler was used on the cylinder shaped bead. Both of its ruffles were applied lengthwise and parallel to the bead hole. One of the ruffles was gently reheated and pulled over to the side to create a stylized bird wing or fish fin.

Ludwig Concave Mashers
|


|
Regularly $50.00
SALE $29.95 40% OFF

Similar to BBQ Mashers, except instead of having flat surfaces for mashing the glass, they are curved toward each other like this )(. The curve of the Concave Mashers is that of a 3½" diameter circle, and is 2" long. The glass can be shaped on the curve of the pads to make beads that are longer or shorter than the length of the mashing pads. We can no longer get the quality curved stainless steel plates to make this tool, so when the few we have left are gone, there will be no more.

Quartz Fuming Rods
|

Only $2.50 or $3.75
|
Quartz tubing makes the ideal material to hold Fine Silver or 24 Karat Gold for fuming glass. Quartz, with its low COE of 8, is extremely shock resistant and requires an immense amount of heat to melt, thereby giving you secure control of the molten metal during the fuming process when it is placed in a small depression. 11 mm OD, 8 mm ID, 8" (20 cm) long. To use the Plain Quartz Tubing for fuming, heat up a spot near one end until white hot. Then push a slight depression into the side of the tube with the tip of tweezers. The heating can be accomplished using a beadmaking size torch turned up to its maximum setting if you are using bottled oxygen. If you are using an Oxygen Concentrator/Generator the flame will not likely be hot enough. Purchase the Quartz Tubing with the Depression already in it. Caution: always point the end of any tubing downstream to the flame to prevent the flame from entering the tubing and burning your hand.

Frit and Annealer Trays
|



|
Lena Rhodes said "I love your Frit Trays, BUT can you make one that has a funnel at one end and has an area where there is no side on the tray to let the mandrel touch a single layer of small frit from the bottom of the tray?" We said, "Great idea!" And now we have the the Lena Frit Tray. The open top, no spill five sided funnel does both superbly. Now you can quickly repackage your frit without spilling, the opening of the funnel gets your mandrel right to the level of the frit and the tray still has its low profile sides to contain the frit.
We still offer all the other styles of our very popular Frit and Annealer Trays to fit your specific needs. The Handled trays comes as a tray with four sides and also as a scoop with the front side open. As frit trays, the low profile gives mandrel clearance on small diameter beads while still keeping the frit from spilling. For annealing, the four sided stainless steel trays hold marbles and such from rolling around and keeps multiple lampworker's loose items separate. A typical annealer can hold several trays across. 3 trays per set, except for the 5 piece Sampler.

Italian Style Pointed Tweezers Mashers
|

|
This invaluable tool just may become the workhorse on your lampworking bench. It has a good heavy duty, solid feel in your hand. The polished pointed tips can manipulate fine detail, yet have enough mass behind them to take on a lot of heat to resist sticking to molten glass. Behind the points it widens to ½" (12.7 mm) for mashing small scale work. A great time saver and incredibly handy when you have just tweezed a hot area of glass and want to mash it before it cools down (or vice versa). You won't have to set down one tool to pick up another, while the whole time the glass is becoming too cool and needs reheating.
We made two different tip profiles and asked lampworkers which style they preferred. Half said the slender tip and half said the wide tip, because the curve leading to the points can also be used for mashing like a pinch at the side of the molten glass and will leave a nice curve transition between the mashed area and the area that was not mashed. 8" length.

JC Enamel & Glass Sifters
|
|
The JC Metal Sifters and JC Line & Dot Applicators. These tools dispense frit, powdered glass and enamels by shaking, tapping, or for the greatest control, by moving the Coil Actuator. It is incredibly easy to use. With just one hand, you hold the Sifter or Applicator and move the Coil Actuator forward and backward with either your finger or thumb. You easily control the volume of glass or enamel, from a gentle sprinkle to a heavy flow, by the pressure applied and the speed you move the Coil Actuator. The standard screen mesh size for the sifters is 60. This gives good flow, yet also gives you great control for shading. A 60 mesh screen is generally preferred for its ability for shading as well as its ability to efficiently cover a small item, such as a bead, quickly. We also offer all the Sifters in a 40 mesh screen. You may be familiar with this size, as that is what is in the red plastic bodied sifters. Enamellists also like the 40 mesh screen for its ability to cover a large area quickly and thoroughly. The two largest sizes are not pictured. Sifters size chart.

Pixie Dust
|
50% OFF
 Select Colors
|
Use Pixie Dust to create a sparkle or pearl luster color inside glass or on its surface. Hi-Light colors are a fine powder and look like Mother of Pearl. Sparkle colors are a larger particle size and look sparkly. The Glitter colors are the largest particle size. When Pixie Dust powders are on the outside of glass they will entirely cover it and the color of the glass they are on influences the final look. A dark glass intensifies the effect. When you cover the powders with a transparent glass, you can control the density to either a sparse or a very dense matte look. Works on all glass except borosilicate (hard) glass. Instructions for use can be found at Arrow Springs' Tips & Tricks. 30 grams.

Barley Baleen Tools
|

|
From left to right, beads made using:Sharon Shaper (Utility Blade Tool) Barley Baleen Curve Razor Tool #1 Barley Baleen Wave Razor Tool #1
|
|
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. Michale's Etsy Web page: http://www.etsy.com/shop/michaelbarley

Like the Twisty Tweezers above, the Greedy Grabbers came out of the recent class taught by Hayley Tsang here at Arrow Springs. Both were tested, approved and named by Hayley and the students. The Greedy Grabbers are similar to our larger Uncle Al Rod Grabbers in their holding action. Instead of large hemostats, the Greedy Grabbers are made with locking tweezers. With a delicate, yet firm hold, the original, short 4¾" grabbers have an incredible range, from 1mm stringers to 7mm rods. The new longer 6¼" size has the same size holding range, but with a little more holding power and a longer handle.
