Thanks for stopping by! Glad you liked it.

Yes, but only the width of the wood strip. And, if you add another wood strip on the bottom, it will hang straight from top to bottom.

You are very welcome, its another idea to hang such items.

Its very freeing to create with what you have on hand. Have fun with it.

Thank you.

I believe I have videos that cover all the steps. However, I plan to make more videos soon. A start to finish video might be rather long. But, if people would want to see that, I'm happy to create one. Cheryl

Thank you. I try to make my videos clear. If you have any questions, please ask. I'm happy to help. And, yes you can do this. Especially if you already have the glass. Have fun with it. Cheryl

I use different brands, but I also have links to what I use in the video descriptions.

Thank you.

They have been a hit. Very easy to make as well. Thanks.

Thank you.

If you leave the solder alone, it will get a patina to it. Meaning it will darken and become less shiney. If you decide to patina it, you can use the black and then lightly buff it with a red scotch pad. This will give it a gun metal look which will not change much. I hope this helps.

Thank you. Thanks for watching!

I find that if I apply the solder to the flat part of the iron but use the side of the iron allowing the solder to run off onto the foil allows for more control. I also find a lighter touch works best and you need to be sure to move the iron as you do this. It does require some practice. But, don't fear if its not perfect the first go round, you can go over your solder lines with the iron to either add more solder or smooth it out better. As with anything, practice and you will get better and find out what works best for you. Hope this helps. Cheryl

You're welcome.

You are so welcome! I think you will be pleased with the table top version. Make sure you use the right size guide for your foil tape or you will run into problems with it folding over. I found out this the hard way. Cheryl

Thank you! 🤗

Hi Sharon, if you watch some of my videos on soldering, I show how I attach them. It is very easy, but can be fiddly. I put the ring under the edge of the piece where I want it attached. Make sure you flux the ring as well as the piece. Then, with a little solder, just tap a small amount on either side of the ring. If the ring fills with solder, just heat it up and start again. You will get better at this. Let me know if this helps. Thanks Cheryl

If you want to make your own patterns, you will need a cricut or plotter. There are all kinds of vinyl materials for T-shirts. It depends on what you like. Then, I would set your T-shirt press according to the material you purchase. You can also purchase pre-made T-shirt transfers that someone else has designed.

Oh sorry after watching the whole video I see you have problems with the last one you showed as well. So forget that one but if you have any suggestions on the tabletop foiler to help me with the foil not crimping on back side and pulling back on table I really want to like this because I can NOT hand foil

Sorry for the late response. I've been recovering from surgery. First make sure you are using the correct wheel for your size foil. This makes a huge difference. Then, be sure you are washing and completely drying your pieces. This is very important. The wheel can be adjusted to make sure your piece is in the middle for even application. Remember, not all glass is the same thickness so you will have to adjust for each glass type. You will have to burnish your pieces after you foil them. I hope this helps you. Cheryl

If you click on the video description below for more information, there is a list of materials that I use with links to Amazon for the items. Thanks for watching!! Cheryl

Thank you so much. Thanks for watching too.

As of right now, Anything Stained Glass has a minimum order of 10 sheets of 12 x 12 glass. Other sizes have different minimums. The shipping charge for their small box is $6.00 and 20 pieces of 12 x 12 glass fit in their small box. There are other size boxes as well. You can check this out on their website. They are currently having their winter sale. You should check it out. Thanks for watching!

I think I am wrong about the shipping fee. The $6.00 small box charge is for the boxing. I'm not sure what I was charged for shipping. It was a while ago. I know my total order for 20 pieces of 12 x 12 glass was $104.00.

It should help you then. Let me know how you make out.

Yeah, I don't use my Diegel Foiler at all. I love my tabletop. Just remember to keep the glass on the table and push it into the wheel. It will take a bit to get used to, but it is soooo much easier to use. Thanks for watching!!

Thank you.

I'd have to see it before I can comment.

No. In the abstract work, I will pre-fit the pieces then solder them together. Freeform style. Cheryl

No, there is no need to buy sterling silver which is more expensive.

I just love my table foiler. You will too.

You're welcome! Glad you liked the video and thanks for watching.

Hi Teresa, I use Studio Pro amzn.to/3TDJhoI

Yes, it is great! Happy Holidays!!

I am new. I have a foil table just like this one and no matter what I do it sort of chews up the foil. I have watched a ton of vidos and still can not seem to get it work like it should.

Most enameled charms will work. They are a zinc metal alloy.

Thank you.

I use a separate sponng for my stained glass work using Dawn dishsoap. Scrub in all the nooks and crannies to be sure to remove the flux. Otherwise, the flux could damage the glass if you leave it on for too long. Then, give your pieces a polish with carnuba wax or at least polish them with Pledge. This will prevent your solder from changing color over time. Happy Holidays!

Thanks for your advice.

I usually use lead free for jewelry. I haven't really thought about it. Thanks.

Hi, when you cut your patterns out are you using foil shears? Foil Shears: amzn.to/2MuSPlo They cut out the space between the pieces that allows for the width of the foil. If you don't allow for that small sliver of space, your pattern will tend to grow or not fit properly. Also make sure you grind off all of your marker and keep checking for fit using a copy of your pattern to lay the pieces onto. Let me know how you make out.

@@artbycherylann8431 thank you!!!

Thank you for the nice compliments. And thank you for watching.
