Aki Shaper

	The new Aki Shaper 3, is a refined version, by Elise Strauss, of the original Aki Shaper, designed by Akihiro Ohkama. The Aki Shaper 3 is slightly shorter, thinner overall, with the thickness thinning towards the tip (see picture of side view) to enable finer detail lampworking. As with the original, all working edges are radiused. Arrow Springs is proud to offer this tool as an homage to Akihiro. Graphite dimensions: ¼" x 1" x 3½".

Bea's Marver

	Designed by Bea Stoertz, Bea's Marver is used to straighten the ends of beads. To use, slip the mandrel sideways into the appropriate width slot for the mandrel diameter you are using, then bring the bead against the graphite paddle while rotating. Graphite paddle size is 1½" x 2½" (38mm x 64mm). Each of the three different width slots are ½" (13mm) long. Other sizes of paddles available upon request.

Temperature Controllers

Pyrometer

$75.00	The battery operated digital pyrometer is considerably more accurate and much easier to read the old style analog (needle type meter) pyrometers. The Pyro-DFC can read in either Fahrenheit or Centigrade. Operating an annealer or fuser manually with an infinite control switch and an optional pyrometer is an equipment cost savings over operation using an automated temperature controller, but does require monitoring and adjustments to the infinite control switch during your working session and for a short time afterward. Digital pyrometer comes with a 6 foot thermocouple. Battery is included.

Bail Hemostat

	Only $15.95	Strong gripping regular hemostats hold wire loops for making buttons, leaves, flowers and other small glass, metal items and components very well, but by their design, they are awkward to hold and rotate like a mandrel. So, we have mounted a 5/32" mandrel to a 5½" hemostat so you can easily hold and rotate your project on center. 12" overall length.

Cabochon Mandrels - 12 Diameters

All 12 diameters are available with 9" or 12" length handles. Pictured are 1/2", 5/8", 3/4" and 1".		Our round Cabochon Mandrels come in 12 diameters, from ½" to 1", by 1/16" increments, plus 1¼", 1½" and 2". They feature a thicker 5/32" handle for more a comfortable grip and your choice of a 9" (23cm) or 12" (30cm) length. For regular bead mandrels, where you mostly hold the mandrel level, the 12" length is more popular. Cabochon mandrels are typically used more in an up and down direction, therefor you might prefer the 9" length so it doesn't bump the table and other objects. The larger sizes not only make large cabochons, but also can be used like a painter's palette to make one or more irregular pieces at a time across its face. Millimeter equivalents listed with each size.

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.

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. Custom graphite molds are available upon request. 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, The Standard Height Range version perfectly mates with the following torches or other torches of similar size or shape: Minor Burner, Mega Minor Burner, Mini CC, WildCat, HellCat, Little Dragon 7 Bead Burner, Little Dragon 21 Bead Burner, Bullet Burner, Cricket, Bobcat, Lynx and Cheetah. The Tall Height Range version is for taller torches, such as Nortel's Mid Range and two flame torches and most large GTT torches. Read more about which Hand and Arm Rest fits best for your torch. Includes 4" C-clamp to secure torch and Hand and Arm Rest to your work table. Torch not included.

2.5mm Threaded Insert Mandrels for Jewelry

Inserts and #8-32 Threaded Insert Mandrels for Glass Knobs and Bottle Stoppers
 

	Inserts for making glass knobs for cupboard doors, drawers, boxes and bottle stoppers using #8-32 screw threads. These ¼" (6.35mm) outside diameter, steel inserts come in two lengths.  ¾" (19mm) length and ½" (12.7mm) length. Inserts have a hole in only one end and are threaded to accept the included, standard 1" (25.4mm) long, #8-32 screw. Simply screw an insert onto the 12" (30cm) long stainless steel Insert Mandrel and apply molten glass to the insert. After you have made your beautiful knob or stopper, anneal it well. Hint: Optional - To prevent eventual corrosion between the Insert and the Insert Mandrel and to make the insert easier to remove from the mandrel, apply a very small amount of anti-seize compound to the threads. Anti-seize is available at all auto parts stores. It it typically used on the threads of spark plugs for the same reason. See our Graphite Button and Knob Mold. Also available here are 2.5mm threaded Insert Mandrels for 2.5mm threaded jewelry inserts. The overall length is 8". Inserts are not available from us at this time.

Mini Leaf Mashers

Only $14.95	Our new Mini Leaf Mashing Tweezers make realistic miniature leaves for many applications. Very popular right now are 3D multi-component sculptures and brooches.

These parts are then wired together to a central point to create some of the most incredible 3D lampworked art. Additional uses include leaf dangles on jewelry and components that are flame attached to larger pieces. The vein pattern is hand cut on each tweezers for a realistic, natural look. 7" long.

ASK 104 Clear Clearance

	Sale $8.00 Per Pound	As a clear, it is absolutely wonderful; bright, easy flow, doesn't turn silver yellow… the list of attributes goes on and on, but stops at being 100% compatible with all COE 104 glasses. Used by itself, it can't be beat. Makes great ornaments and sculptures. 8mm diameter.

Quartz Fuming Tubes

Only $3.50 or $4.50	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.
