Untitled[edit]

There is a stained glass use for the tool called "fid." There are two kinds I use daily at work. I'm a stained glass artisan. First is the wooden fid, used to burnish copper foil to glass pieces. Another fid, made from "high impact plastic" is used to open channels in lead came and generally manipulat it. See Lead came and copper foil glasswork So is there room for page just for fids? I can obtain pics of these tools if need be. Eagleapex 03:24, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That looks like the same kind of tool as the sort of fid this article is already about. Be bold and go ahead and add information about fids used for stained glass. —BenFrantzDale 14:36, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very nice. Dfrg.msc 09:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I use a tool in theater fly rail rope work. I was told that it is called a fid and it is used like the description in the article. But it is not made from wood. It is metal. We use it to hold the rope strands together in order to put in cloth position markers. Sean

I work in Stained Glass and have a friend who does rope work. We have speculated that probably in Anglo-Saxon 'Fid' simply meant "stick". Any thoughts? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.54.35.115 (talk) 23:25, 19 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fid lengths seem to vary[edit]

I am not an expert in this area, but I notice that "fid length" doesn't seem to agree with the provided table. For another reference: Samson splicing instructions show a 1/4" full fid length at 5 1/2". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rkuris (talk • contribs) 15:16, 10 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
