Item Name: Assembly Kit for Fork without Beads SKU: BP-FORK Description: Assembly Kit for Fork w/o Beads is a parts kit that includes the required components to build your own custom fork with a lampworked glass handle bead. The kit is designed so the finished bead assembly will be compatible with a 3/32 size mandrel, which is a common mandrel size for beadmaking and makes it easy to produce a comfortable, durable handle bead that fits the hardware correctly. This kit is intended for makers who want to combine functional flatware with a handmade glass accent. The included parts are dishwasher safe, which is important for a finished piece that will see regular use and repeated washing. It is a practical way to turn beadmaking skills into a finished, usable object without having to source and match the hardware separately. How it is used: Make a handle bead on a 3/32 mandrel, forming the bead to the length and profile that suits the fork and feels good in the hand. Anneal the bead properly so it can handle daily handling and temperature changes during washing. Assemble the hardware components with the finished bead to create a complete custom fork handle, producing a functional piece of silverware with a lampworked glass focal.
