I bought an expanding mandrel off Amazon for turning these. It comes in sizes from 1/4"-1" by eighths and a 1 1/4". It was less than $40. I haven't used it yet but I'll let you know. I have a bucket full of scraps and pen blank cutoffs that will work great for beads.
Excellent video. I can hardly wait to share this with my husband.
Please do!
always enjoy watching you turn mike . your a good teacher . thank you for sharing your turning knowledge with us all .
Great video Mike. I have a whole bunch of hair beads to make.
Go for it!
Another blast from the past! Outasite there, Mike. Very cool. First thing i gave a girl was a string of love beads. Thanks for the tips, tricks, techniques, and memories!
I carve beads by hand for fun. Carve, file, sand, and polish by hand. It’s a neat thing. They aren’t as uniform, but I kind of like it. Especially if I’m making them out of seeds or nuts. You ought to try that. Peach pits and other seeds.
Nice project, thanks for posting Mike.
Great job mike 👍👍 another great video
Thanks, Mike! Great practical skew practice!

One again more great information and experience
Great tips,
Iam new comer.. interesting things.. lets see more.
Thanks for sharing
So many ideas
Nice work great tips with the skew take care. Y.N.W.A.
Hope to make some jewelry as soon as the shop warms up a bit. Do you make several beads at at time from the same wood?
Sometimes. Or even buy a box of wooden beads from Walmart or an arts and crafts store.
Being a segmented wood turner I end up with a lot of multi colored scraps from making my laminate, the make wonderful beads.
Excellent. Hate to waste good wood.
Mike, you asked for tips .For catching flying items when parting off I place a 2litre ice cream box on the bedways. Nearly always successful, and essential when ejecting stuck Morse taper mounted Steb centres with a push rod. Some shavings protect the tips.(No longer using my wife as wicket keeper!). For continuous cutting beads &c., providing the bore is not too fine nor tool pressure too great, a hardened steel rod can be used as a simple mandrel, with bored wooden Morse taper in the tailstock. I use a three jawed chuck, which also allows the headstock to act as mandrel saver. Bushes are no problem. Of course a long drill is necessary, and you could still mount the blank in your collet chuck and let the cut beads slide along the mandrel safely.. Bernard.
Thanks for sharing those tips.
Mike, good reason to buy the ice cream, eat it and keep the box. Any excuse for a bowl of ice cream.
How about sticking a wire in the end hole to trap instead of catch ?
Good tip.
Nice video! Why make beads?...for one...large beads are hard to find or expensive, as I like large natural wood beads for plant hangers! Also, just something nostalgic about saying, “See the beads on that hanger...made those out of the climbing tree on the old homestead...bring a piece of home with you!”
What type of abrasive paste are you using?
I have several videos on the topic including this one ruclips.net/video/y-4t7S67-CI/видео.html
I am attempting to make bone beads as I do a lot on bone and shell pendant carving. I've never been able to find a way to keep a piece of bone in a chuck or on a spindle that isn't anything but a frustrating failure. Do you have any advice?
Maybe this will help ruclips.net/video/5vAm3PO87fI/видео.html
My 12 year old granddaughter will love some new beads. I’m a pen turner so I have lots of cut offs. Thank you for the video.
Why didn’t you use your new Laguna for these small pieces?
I was using my webcam video setup. I have not had the time to figure out the lighting and camera stand setup yet on the Laguna.
That’s what I figured.
Keep up the good work.
Would love to get a lesson from you someday.
If you are goinmg to be in the area, give me a call. Phone number on my website.
lol @ I haven't caught one yet, brilliant.
@11:43 Good practice makes you a good wood turner, but I would never try that like this guy, because even good wood turners get a catch, and with that knife, no matter the skill, it will be painful, :-)
So true. My poor attempt at humor.
@@MikePeaceWoodturning Oh, no worries, man, it was well appreciated.
It came for me just after the commercial in middle of your video, and I was not sure is that part of your video or from the add :-).
Then, with Halloween coming, I thought maybe you put some tricks and treats for us viewers.
how bout a video about turning a wooden pipe? youre my hero Mike Peace!
I help someone thread a Pipestem one time. But I don't smoke so I don't know what I would do with the pipe.
Mike Peace Woodturning i thought you might say that. just an idea
Thanks for sharing
