Product Reviews
Pros
Stunning Glass, many compliments on just the glass . Looks great as is w/o back lighting - glows with just the slightest back light.
Cons
Doesn't cut as well as others by Youghiogheny. micro fractures unpredictably. Still I look forward to using it again.
Other Thoughts
Worth the effort but be prepared for "design improvements"

Cons
none I have experienced
Other Thoughts

This is a stunning piece of glass and, as a fan of Southwest design, this glass will be a hit! The colors are outstanding.

Tilt top.
Cons
Other Thoughts
I love my new Grypon grinder!
Pros
It took a few tries to get the hang of it but it's a real time saver. I recommend this tool to anyone doing stained glass work
Cons
It's a bit clumsy for very small pieces so I still do those by hand.
Other Thoughts
I have the foiler attached to my work table, but I think it would be easier to use if it were elevated an extra 10 inches or so. When I have time I will make a stand to raise it up more.
Pros
nice colors good lots of sizes
Cons

Pros
I have had mine for 30 plus years, and it is still going, ordering another as mine is now a grinder in a friends studio. I have the small ones also for classes and they are still going also. Don't know if the new ones hold up as well, but Glastar is a good choice in my option.
Cons
No one talks about putting grease in the grease zerks in the motor, but it is a good idea. Makes it last longer.
Other Thoughts
Pros
Absolutely fabulous glass. Match with transparent carribbean blue for amazing items
Cons
None!
Other Thoughts
It is one of my favourite colours to work with
Pros
Easy to mix, easy to use, works very well, good price.
Cons
Availability is limited and a wait period is to be expected.
Other Thoughts
Pros
My shipment contained a nice array of colors, was packed well, and arrived quickly. This price is unbeatable, and I have spent hours going to different stores and comparing prices online.
Cons
I didn't really care for the clear glass that came with the shipment but since it is a random selection I understood I would be getting pieces that I didn't really care for. I can still use them, however.
Other Thoughts
I bought this pack to create a stock of art to open an Etsy store and this product was a great choice for that.
Pros
Trust yourself...this is very easy to foil with
Take your time...feel the different pressures you apply and soon you will know just how much pressure is needed to get your foiling machine to perfectly foil. I was done with a project before I knew it.
I placed it on a micro fiber cloth and it did not move.
Wonderful little invention

Pros
I love this mold so much I have just purchased two more! Incense burners are my best selling item and also my favorite thing to make.
Cons
None that I have found!
Other Thoughts
It is worth investing in the Fiber paper to create the holder part. I have had varied success using rolled up scrap shelf paper but its hard to control the size of the opening that way.
Pros
Easy to use, makes great tiles to hang on a wall or in a window.
Cons
Make sure it is well coated with mold release or you can lose a little of the details when separating the mold from your glass.
Other Thoughts
Works particularly well with the iridized glass.
I am very pleased with the items I made.
Pros
I've used this cutter for MANY years and have always used it without oil. I find the one that's specified as oil free with plastic handle far more fragile than this. So, if you dare, try this sans oil and see if it works for you too. This is the ONLY cutter I will use. I've tried many others, but this just feels really good in the hand which I find assists if accuracy.
Cons
NONE
Other Thoughts
Pros
Fast blade changes. Easy set up. Accurate cutting. Simple to clean. Nice big smooth deck makes cutting easier.
Cons
Blade picks up water from the reservoir and deposits too much of it on the table. The two sponges to help prevent this could be improved.
Other Thoughts
I use this in my home stained glass workshop and must say it does everything I need to do. It cuts with accuracy and the blade life is extraordinary.
Pros
This clever little invention is invaluable for saving frayed fingers and holding glass securely, especially tricky tiny bits.
Cons
None
Other Thoughts
Use these in our class at Mid-Cheshire College, England, really useful but difficult to get hold of in UK so coming shopping - on my first holiday in America- for my classmates back in Northwich. Great fun!
