This version of the double-bladed stencil shears removes a strip of paper approximately 1/32" wide from the pattern, which is all the allowance that is needed when cutting stencils for copper foil work. These nifty inventions improve upon the old method, which was to tape two single-edge razor blades together and run it along the the pattern line, all the while trying not to cut yourself, nor destroy your tabletop. Ah, the conveniences of modern life! Stainless steel blades. Imported.

New! Many stained glass crafters find wrapping glass in copper foil tedious and difficult. For this reason, we researched the various copper foilers that are out there, and this one came out on top, by a mile. While it is not appropriate for very small pieces of glass, it can save a lot of time and Bandaids for most foiling jobs. People who buy it rave about it.

Burnishers, Crimpers and Fids, Oh My!
|
|
As you assemble your stained glass project, whether you are using copper foil or lead, you will need to bend, nudge and flatten your metal around the glass, here and there. That's where burnishers, crimpers and fids (oh my!) come in.

Used by sailors to assist in the twisting and splicing of rigging lines, a fid is also used by some stained glass artists to open lead channels, burnish copper foil, scratch backs, and perform endless other tasks that would probably never even have occured to us had we not heard it with our own ears. Sometimes you just need a fid. There are many folk who prefer the newfangled plastic lead openers, but we'll keep these around for you Luddites out there. Not for the fid-challenged.

In order for copper foil to stay put and look good, you need to burnish it well. If you are one of those folks who don't use a burnishing tool of any kind, you probably have the little cuts on your fingertips and scratches on your fingernails to prove it. This handy nylon burnisher will work much better. You're welcome.
