Five Minute Reedmaker: Tools: The Mandrel
In my new mini-series on tools, I guess I'm working my way through the relatively straightforward ones first - while I build up my courage to tackle knives and shapers, which EVERYONE has strong opinions about.In this episode I tackle the truism that all of your tubes must fit your mandrel (MUST? Really? REALLY?), I show the distinctions between a few different styles of mandrel, and I offer a cheat so English horn reedmakers can save themselves a little $$.https://youtu.be/AFDg5yu1Lko
Here's the YouTube playlist with all of my other Five Minute Reedmaker videos. You could subscribe right there if you wanted to - I'm dropping a video each week until the end of the year.
Here's my website, where you can order reeds or cane or ask me questions. Questions will keep these videos flowing!
