Bottle Holders

Sharp idea. I think I might try this. Good job !!! Mel

They look good enough to throw a Tea Light in when you aren't gluing.

Thanks Mel and John.

Much better looking than mine. I just drilled a hole in a chunk of 2×4.

Great idea socr~...

I often "used to" upside down my bottle in dog holes in my workbench… however, after failing to close the cap and a few times a drawer with glue, made me abandon that practice… this is a handy solution.

As an aside, may I dare to suggest taking it one step further and somehow combine this with DP's Drink Holder... Shouldn't be harder to reach for the glue than a drink… unless it's a cheap-vino-cask without a cradle… just don't confuse the drink and the glue or you'll clag up your epiglottis… but then again with the blockage.. no need for that elusive TP.

This is one of those "Why didn't I think of that" ideas.

Glad you thought of it - thanks for sharing!

Nice one Socrbert.
Did you use forstner bits?

Thanks guys. Greatly surprised by top 3 designation. Yes I used 2 different forstner bits - one for cap depth and one for spout depth.

Cool idea! I have some short chunks of maple left over from my carving bench build that would work great for some of these. I couldn't bring myself to throw them out quite yet, and now I don't have to!

An excellent solution but I too would fear leaving the cap open. I personally just use titebond 3 for everything so that I can keep a gallon jug around and have a chance of finishing it within a couple of years. When I start having to wait for the 16 oz bottles to flow they just get topped up from the gallon jug.

Now why didn't I think of that!? Thanks for sharing!

Very cool, I've done this with my epoxy bottles but not my glue. Thx for sharing.
