Hammer a five-sided bangle over a round mandrel and the corners soften with every pass; the geometry you sawed and soldered slowly disappears. This mandrel has a true pentagonal cross-section, so each of the five flats sits fully supported while you work it, and the crisp angles between faces survive the forming. A specialist former for contemporary geometric bangles in silver, copper and other non-ferrous metals.

It is turned from solid wood, which gives while steel will not — the bangle takes the shape without the mandrel marking the metal. The 14-inch length leaves generous room for positioning and adjustment, and the smooth, unfinished surface is ready for the bench as supplied.

  • Features a true pentagonal cross-section for accurately forming five-sided profiles.
  • Crafted from solid wood to prevent marring of non-ferrous metals during forming.
  • Provides five stable, flat faces to support the bangle's geometry during hammering.
  • Measures 14 inches in length, offering ample space for shaping and adjustments.
  • Supplied as smooth, unfinished wood, ready for immediate use at the bench.

Who it's for

Common questions at the bench

UK or US sizing?
Our steel ring mandrels carry both UK alphabetical and US numerical scales unless the product specifically notes UK-only or US-only in the description. Hardwood and aluminium mandrels are unmarked — use a separate ring sizer to measure.
Can I hammer directly against the mandrel?
Steel mandrels yes — that is what they are designed for. Hardwood mandrels are for forming and finishing only; hammering against them dents the wood and marks the workpiece. Aluminium mandrels: light planishing only, no forging.
What is a stepped mandrel for?
Stepped (tiered) mandrels let you work batches of rings or bangles in fixed standard sizes — useful for production work where you are making matched pairs or a series. Tapered mandrels suit one-off resizing where you need every size in between.
How do I store it without rust?
Wipe with a light camellia or 3-in-1 oil after wet work or polishing, then store in a dry drawer or wall rack. A small silica gel pack in the drawer is cheap insurance against humidity in unheated workshops.
