I'm sure you've heard of it before but I have a 10-gallon fish tank I put on its side that I put my grinder in and it's life-changing! I love that I can look right above the grinder and I use a rag on the fish tank opening to minimize even more gunk getting on me.
Nice to see that you have an open mind when testing out your new tools. Instead of trying to find something wrong you were willing to see if it was actually useful. Well done!
@@MakenzieHallie An open mind will always benefit you. Just worked on my first piece this week and I am going to need some practice at cutting curves :-)
I so excited to see all your reviews on these products I actually have everyone of these things. I haven't use the crimper (the little white one) so I'm looking forward on seeing you demonstrate it. I shopped on Craigslist and offer up and have got all these things. I love my foiled. Great video as always. Blessing to you and your husband. Stay well
Love my Mr. Splash…have my grinder sitting in a low sided plastic bin (new litter bin) and the splash guard around the back…works great and the bin keeps the table SO much cleaner. 👍
Well, it is neat. But realistically we both know it's not something that is time considerate. I'm foiling right now, and not using it. It is cool, but absolutely unnecessary.
Oh my gosh I can't wait for the second video! This has already been very informative and I may act on the glastar now seeing it in action. I'm looking forward to hear about the fume extractor I have been debating on getting one of those for quite some time now. Loving your videos and stained glass creations.
Wow, thanks so much for showing us the random glass tools, three you showed I was thinking of buying but was not sure I would like them, but now I know they Work well for stained glass. Super thanks, you haves saves us money and time, your awsome. 🥰🕉🙏
You can use those grooves on the smooth roller to burnish the sides also. I use it all the time when I am foiling somewhere other than my studio. Love it!
I do have the foil caddy, and you were correct that it is better just to have 1 roll of foil on the table, the problem is the roll tends to unwind before you start to pull on the amount of foil that you need. I have seen the foil machine at stained glass express and it is definitely an asset to have in your studio.
I love the caddy, used it all day today! And the machine is cool, but I'm still resistant. I foiled all morning with my hands and am still at the "my hands are better" place. I think its really cool, but maybe just need to learn to get real quick on it, to feel even better about it!
Thank you for doing these videos. I've been ignoring that rolling burnisher for months because markers or popsicle sticks work fine. But I have to admit I've eyeball Ed it several times. That is also the first foiler I've seen that I actually like. I can't wait (although I guess I have to lol) to see tomorrow's video. I've been contemplating the foil dispenser purely for holding my foil, but I have a tray that holds most of my tools (studio pro, green, not sure it's name) that I don't really like. The foil doesn't fit well in the dispenser. I'm gonna stop rambling now. Thanks again for the videos!
Ok, I’ve actually seen all of these tools, but the crimper, so I’m excited to see how they work, because I’ve contemplated getting most of them! Ha I do have the grinder cookie, and I like it, as I think it helps apply even pressure and hold on to smaller pieces. Thank you for doing videos like this and being willing to share your knowledge! 6k+ followers definitely well deserved!
I'm not sure yet. I think its one of those things that's cool to have, but not for realistic glass daily use. I just foiled all morning, and did not use it. Lol. So cool, but not necessary I think.
Whoop whoop 6.2 thousand followers, totally deserved. Love this random tool unboxing idea, looking forward to Mr Splash and the glass cookie! Happy Friday to all, from soggy UK
I enjoy your videos and was so excited when you were gonna demonstrate cutting glass only with running pliers But then you speeded the film up and couldn’t watch. Just got the Glastar Foiler for Christmas. Will take some practice for sure
I love this video so far! I've wondered about each of these tools and thought you just prefer to use "what you have" and not get these little fancy toys! I guess we could say these are "wants... not needs" but why not want if we can!
OH MY GOD I LEGITIMATELY BOUGHT/WAS GIVEN A BUNCH OF THESE SAME TOOLS NOT EVEN A WEEK BEFORE WATCHING THIS VIDEO. I haven't even finished watching this video but from my experience, the Glastar foiling machine is amazing, the roller is amazing, the foil dispenser is not my favorite, the cookie is okay, the fume extractor is my favorite of these items. I think I might buy a Mr. Splash at some point in the future.
I have the glasstar foiler it was a pain. I seem to spend more time adjusting it and getting frustrated and actually using it for me it only worked really well for super smooth glass but hey I’m still new with this too
I agree with that. I foiled all day yesterday, didn't use it. I think its another one of those things that 1, takes ALOT of practice and 2 is if you want to but don't need to.
Not a bad idea for the shield, wish I would have seen that before I dropped $60 on the waffle shield thing that you can also use to cut on (can’t remember the name right now). It is 6 panels and I love it for the tiny grinder, but my hubby got me the Taurus ring saw (I became infatuated when I saw your review of it) and the ring saw extends past the bottom tray. The only down side I see of this shield is that I find the Taurus can spread water around, especially to the front when it rolls off the glass where is accumulated during cutting. Can’t wait for the second video!
It's not bad at all. I will say, especially for things like our taurus or the convertible grinder, the shield just isn't tall enough. If I was really trying to catch that glass mud and water I would still use my original storage container bin. It held very well. I will also let you know, between me and you, gryphon is sending me over there ring saw, so we'll be able to test out the mess on that one as well!
Can’t wait to see that one. The Taurus was a big purchase but it has made it so much easier to do things. With my migraines, my work time is limited to when I feel well enough. The ring saw really cuts down on the grinding and cutting time, I am so appreciative of my gift. I already cut out some grape vines for a new garden brick and I was in love, so quick the water shed is the only downfall but I’ll love with it.
Hey Makenzie, LOVE your channel! I put my grinder in a fish tank placed on its side. It blocks all the sides and back and also overhead and away from my face. I can put my pattern on top and easily see it while I’m grinding.
Hi Makenzie!, I was just curious after trying the Morton Splash Guard have you considered using a small aquarium to put your grinder in? I read somewhere or was given this tip by a stained glass teacher. I believe it's a 15 to 20 gal aquarium and it works great. It keeps the glass grindings enclosed until you're ready to clean up your space. You also get the benefit of the side of your aquarium bneing a face /splash shield from anything popping out at you. The aquarium keeps everything contained (splash water, bits of glass, grinding glass residue) when you are ready to clean your space pull the grinder out, take aquarium to large sink spray out maybe use a little soap (Dawn) and your ready for new products/projects. Like to hear your stories of your adventures in stain glass for I too am a self taught artist who has been given some pointers from a college stained art professor. I thought the suggestion might be of benefit. Can't hurt to share and it might help you if you choose to read my little statement. Thank you for sharing on TH-cam! Kevin Graham , Yuma AZ
I have that roller, I love it! I actually use the pointed end more. My daughter likes to help me foil, so I'll be getting a second one since she is always taking it..lol
It is super cool!! But do you actually use it often? I still question how helpful it really is when your just trying to get things done you know what I mean?
I had one of those Foilers it’s ok I guess but I could do it by hand just as fast. I wound up giving it away. I’ve been using the splash buddy for a long they work good.
I would love to know if you ever tried the Glastar Hand Foiler. It is aprox $11 give or take which is MUCH cheaper than the black foiler you demo. Also, have you found out yet what the other end of the roller/burnisher is used for?
Hey Makenzie, are you finding the cutters mate mini to be as helpful as you'd hoped? I have wrist and thumb arthritis and am close to getting one. Thx in advance for info. By the way your videos have be super helpful. Im new to SG.
Nice, I have that foiler, but i stopped using it. But I will try again because i did not attach it to the desk. I also have a tabe foiler, you have any experience with that ?
those test pieces just got me wondering tho, would there ever be a case where you wouldn't grind an edge- or maybe just give a quick once over by hand? or is hand grinding even a thing? was just wondering :)
I loved this video. I can now figure out which of these would be helpful for me. Can't wait to see the next one! P.S. When you did the close up, I screamed "Fuck, she's gorgeous!"
I just started taking lessons and after we finished foiling by hand the teacher was like, "now you're all going to hate me" and whipped out a horizontal version of the foiling machine. It took him seconds to foil an entire piece. It'll be one of the first items I purchase lol the time and frustration I'll save I can already tell is sooo worth it
that foil roller is AMAZING. i use mine literally every time i foil. chefs kiss
It is neat!!!!
I LOVE how excited you are
WOOOHOOOOO!! So fun!! Lol!! Letting yourself get excited about the little things in your job makes it way more fun!!
A tool, or set of tools, you should try is the Morton Cutting System
I'm sure you've heard of it before but I have a 10-gallon fish tank I put on its side that I put my grinder in and it's life-changing! I love that I can look right above the grinder and I use a rag on the fish tank opening to minimize even more gunk getting on me.
Have used the Mister Splash for years! Works pretty darn good!
What is mister glass and where can I find it?! I've been googling and don't see anything?!
Foil dispenser is so helpful! I thought foiling was going to be the easiest part but I struggle 😂
I love the way you cut glass with only running players. I aim to do the same. Love your videos!
Thank you so much Debra! You can do it!!!
I love my Kwik-Crimp and foil dispenser! The fume extractor and the surrounding looks cool with that pointed tip!🌠
I love the foil dispenser too!! So much easier!!
Nice to see that you have an open mind when testing out your new tools. Instead of trying to find something wrong you were willing to see if it was actually useful. Well done!
I try to. I am very particular in how I do things and can get stuck in the ways I taught myself glass now years ago. But I'm trying!!
@@MakenzieHallie An open mind will always benefit you. Just worked on my first piece this week and I am going to need some practice at cutting curves :-)
Awesome!! You've got this!! 🖤

Love my Mr. Splash…have my grinder sitting in a low sided plastic bin (new litter bin) and the splash guard around the back…works great and the bin keeps the table SO much cleaner. 👍
That's exactly what I used to do in my apartment!
I was just looking at that foil thing and now I want one.
Well, it is neat. But realistically we both know it's not something that is time considerate. I'm foiling right now, and not using it. It is cool, but absolutely unnecessary.

I'll tell you right now as long as you watch part 2 lol!!! Get the extractor. Absolutely worth it. Used it all day today, it was great!
I have one of these bought it years ago. Love it! Mr. Splash.
Love ❤️ love 💕 love the grinder cookie! Has saved my hands/ wrists hands down! Love my copper foil dispenser! Works great for me!
Wow, thanks so much for showing us the random glass tools, three you showed I was thinking of buying but was not sure I would like them, but now I know they Work well for stained glass. Super thanks, you haves saves us money and time, your awsome. 🥰🕉🙏

Definitely!!

Would LOVE a grinder bucket video!:)
Thanks for all your videos! 💜 Have just begun my stained glass journey! You have helped immensely! Keep em comin! Take care and stay safe! 💜
Welcome to the glass world! Thank you for watching!
Thank you! Copper foiler will save time so much time.
I'm not sure yet. I think its one of those things that's cool to have, but not for realistic glass daily use. I just foiled all morning, and did not use it. Lol. So cool, but not necessary I think.
maybe good four big projects.
Definitely, and I think for those projects with alot of even, straight edges.
I’m only mad at this video for making me want to spend more on random tools 😅😅
😂😂 its fun if ya can here and there!
Whoop whoop 6.2 thousand followers, totally deserved. Love this random tool unboxing idea, looking forward to Mr Splash and the glass cookie! Happy Friday to all, from soggy UK

I put my grinder in a 10 gallon aquarium on it's side to catch all my glass, works great.
Toy Town stained glass sells all the tools you purchase. Also for your foiler if you attached it to a piece of wood it will work great.
I love this video so far! I've wondered about each of these tools and thought you just prefer to use "what you have" and not get these little fancy toys! I guess we could say these are "wants... not needs" but why not want if we can!
Exactly, I would say NONE of these are life changing or realistically necessary. But absolutely fun to F around with!! Lol!!
Congrats on the 6k!!! Absolutely love this channel.
Thank you so much!!
I just ordered the foiler..can’t wait to use it!!...I love your channel..would love to see more projects❤️
It is absolutely a unique and neat tool! SO glad your enjoying my channel!

Can't wait the second video! That foil tool looked kinda fun to play with 😅 lol auto correct is in rare form tonight 🤣
Toilet?! 😂😂
Back shopping on amazon,, I am impressed with the roller, love your videos
Amazon is all we have right now lol 😂😂 . And thank you! You'll enjoy the roller!! Fun!

Definitely, there is nothing like having a ring saw for those random hard times its needed. I love it so much. Feels like cheating its so easy!! Lol!!
@@MakenzieHallie yes, I want to know if the taurus is better or not for how pricey it is!
If the Taurus is better then what? I'm sorry, I'm confused!! Lol!! 🙈🙈😂😂
Hey Makenzie, LOVE your channel! I put my grinder in a fish tank placed on its side. It blocks all the sides and back and also overhead and away from my face. I can put my pattern on top and easily see it while I’m grinding.

I want to see the bucket 🪣....😂😂😂
Holy cow! Can’t wait for tomorrow! Great job!
Glad your looking forward to it!!!
lookin forward to part two!
I'm so glad you did this one. I've been considering the foiler but didn't know if it was really worth the $50.
Once again great job!
Thank you Billy!
I would be interested in a grinder bin video.
Can absolutely still make that happen!
I had one of those Foilers it’s ok I guess but I could do it by hand just as fast. I wound up giving it away. I’ve been using the splash buddy for a long they work good.
Absolutely agree, it's one of those things like "cool" but my hands are better. Lol!! Thank you for watching!
I’m definitely getting that mr splash ! Amazing video!! 💯✨
Its not a miracle worker, but it helps!

By the way your videos have be super helpful. Im new to SG.
Takes a shot every time you say Mr Splash. 😂
BEWARE!!! LOL
Plus I only use running pliers due to your tutorial!
Nice, I have that foiler, but i stopped using it. But I will try again because i did not attach it to the desk. I also have a tabe foiler, you have any experience with that ?
Table foiler? - I do not! But I can deff pick one up for a video! Thank you for watching!
Awesome
Please do a review on Nicks Grinders Mate! Has totally saved the skin on my fingertips for small pieces! Unbelievable!
I use Mr Splash and he is awesome.
Awesome!! Thank you for watching!!
My daughter was given a used Glastar foiler. Unfortunately, it is missing one part. The 7/32 wheel is gone. I'm so sad.
Awww bummmer!
what brand foiling tape do you use?
I'll use whatever really. Now that venture is gone it will all only be no name and generic brands from Amazon left. So sad.
those test pieces just got me wondering tho, would there ever be a case where you wouldn't grind an edge- or maybe just give a quick once over by hand? or is hand grinding even a thing? was just wondering :)
Where do you sell your finished projects?
I’d like to see the splash
H.
Hi, want to know if I don't want to use any patina how can I make my sader shiny.
Hello, you can use stained glass polish if washing it alone isn't doing the trick! Type that right in amazon
@@MakenzieHallie thank you

That's awesome! Welcome to the glass world!
I can't find the foiler on Amazon but it's been a year. 😔
As you were unboxing everything I kept saying to myself, “ dang I could use that”. I was expecting like silly/ dumb tools lol 😆
😂 They were almost all 100 percent stupid (unnecessary) in my eyes. Still would say a few are. Lol. But you'll have to wait and seeee!
@@MakenzieHallie can’t wait!
Wow you really are a newbie, most of This stuff has been around for 30 yrs. been doing glass,flat warm and hot for that many years!
😂 I didn't say any of it was new! Just not necessary, which I still stand by!
Stop flicking your hair. Very distracting.
No.
