Make your own cuff bracelet bending tool
Sure, the traditional way of using a bracelet mandrel and a rawhide hammer still works to bend cuffs, but I recently did a side-by-side comparison with curving two inlay cuff blanks: one on this tool and one on the mandrel and it took almost 5 times as long to do with my oval mandrel than with this tool.
I also found that I indented my triangle wire a lot more with the rawhide hammer, which isn’t ideal since I want a nice crisp edge for my inlay cuff bracelets.
These cuff bracelet benders are easy to make and will save you a lot of hassle in your studio!
If that looks like too much work to make, you can just grab one from me here:
