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 $$.

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.
