Well, I was mamzed to stumble onto this ebay listing today. I've been there enough to see some pretty odd stained glass items, but this was refreshing and even amusing.

It's a "nugget foiler" -a WONDERFUL nugget foiler, in fact. And so simple that you could easliy make your own, but its also pretty cheap. Worth a look, don't know if it's worth the money:

I own one of these and just loooooooove it.  There a rubber material in the groove area to help glide the process a bit and rip the foil.  Once you get the knack of using it you can really pump a serious number a nuggets out at a time.  That and a cup used to shack them to smooth the foil are the two best things that could happen with nuggets.

I have one, too.  If you are doing a lot of globs, it works pretty good.  If I just need to foil one glob, it takes me longer to find it than it's worth.

LOL, I must admit I've always wanted one of these.  I may have to order one!  $4.95 doesn't seem to bad.

Mine is a lump of wood I drilled a big hole into and then cut down on the mitre saw. It's only about 2'n'a bit inches long though.
