    A few years ago I purchased a steel stepped bracelet mandrel. 
    Believe it has four steps ranging large to small.   It works pretty
    well now, after I polished the steps.   The steps had all sorts of
    machine lines that marred the inside of the bracelet.   This mandrel
    was manufactured by a company that many of us use.   Polishing those
    steps was a real chore, file, sand, file, sand, polish, you know the
    drill - a lot o work.  With the various other alternatives mentioned
    on this thread, think I'd try a ball bat instead.
