I have scrounged individual dishing forms and half round swages for the stuff I do a lot of so my swage block doesn't get used a lot---much easier to throw a handfull of swages/dishing forms in a bucket for demos than bringing a swageblock.
I never saw the need for a cone mandrel until just lately when I've been doing a lot of a project where having a cone mandrel would cut down the truing up time to almost nothing! I really hope to pick up one of the nose cone ones at Quad-State this year...
