    Hi All, I was going to keep this a secret until I had it all 
    complete, but I have been putting together a Web site for
    granulation.  Included in the site is an Excel spreadsheet for
    creating granules of any size. 

    There is a volume relationship between a cylinder (length of wire)
    and a sphere (granule).  I have calculated it on an Excel spreadsheet
    and any of yall can download it for free. 

    Measure the diameter of the wire to be exact, place it in the spot
    for the diameter. Plug in ramdom lengths , or use the up and down
    scroll to watch the length increase and decrease.  The diameter of
    the granule created by the two is displayed at the right.  It is
    absolutely accurate, as accurate as you take the measurements of your
    wire. 

    Here is the link:

    If any of you have any other calculations you would like access to ,
    please drop me a line and I'll add them to the spreadsheet.  I would
    like to have as many commonly used references as possible on the
    sheet. 

    I plan on including the following: 

    1) Ring Size in Size, diameter , length of band (circumfrence) and
    correlation with the other standards, Japanese, German, South
    American. 

    2) Saw blade sizes and diameter of saw hole needed for piercing. 

    3) Drill size , mm, inches, Tap number. 

    4) A convert sheet for different lengths and weights.  Excel has
    this built in using the Worksheet Convert Function.  You have to have
    the Analysis tool pack installed. 

    I also plan on having links to all the masters of granulation.  If
    you have any links to great granulation pieces, please email me and
    I'll include them. 

    I have placed a new link to Carolyn Tyler, fantastic designs. 

    I would like any pictures of Harold O'Connor's Granulation Pieces. 

Love and God Bless
