Marj Bates, Creator of the fabulous Make-A-Knob Kits we sell, also has a wonderful Kit for Topping your lamps! The Make-A-Finial Kit finally has a press companion! The Finial press is very versatile. You can make finials using the Kit, available separately, or you can use the end of a 1/8" mandrel to make a vessel style creation. With a little creativity you could make this bead off mandrel to create a functional Top.
