I wonder if they would be any good for custom center bands?

Carter Tools, he is a Taig lathe distributor, he has a set of plans for a ring mandrel.. The mandrel can be made out of wood on a wood lathe, but the steel ones are better.

The six jewelers at the Gallery might put out a hit on me if I start making rings. The rings look pretty and I have scraps...

Best of luck.
