Looking for a Elec.,Hot Glue Pot, USED is find, The one I had bit the dust.
----------
Add on NOTE*** As anyone used a old type elec. coffee pot with some water in the pot with a glass jar (can·ning jar with a wire snap down lid) for the glue ,if so did it work ?, glue needs to be 140deg. to 160deg. to melt the glue beads.

Please P.M. with price and details and zip code.
Thanks

Just a update

I didn't want to pay a 100 bucks for a new one ( Hot Pot ) so I made my own with a old elec.coffee pot ,(garage sale item 5.oo dollars) it's keeps the glue right at 140deg. just right.

Hide glue is one of the best glues you can use for cabinets, etc. no clamps needed the norm, it's been used for a long time but it should not be used for out door projects
If you make error you can break the joint with some denatured alcohol (with a syringe) ,unlike the white/yellow/grizzly glue ups,just put some alcohol in the joint and wait 5 mins. and then take the joint down, scrape the joint (clean) then just reglue when your done and it's like a new glue up.

Great job Bj! That's an excellent idea and not a bad savings either.

I was going to cut off the handle but then I said I need something to hang the brush from and I said OK why not

By the way how was Texas ? ? hot or wet or dusty ?

One more by the way, GUESS what I got today via UPS (80 lbs.)

A dozen routers?
200 bits?
40 clamps?
A whole lot of glue?

This is me turning green with envy.
I guess you know you are going to have to keep us updated on any carvewright projects. With pix of course

Texas was great actually until the storms arrived. Then it was windy and rainy and it followed me home! Sweet on the Carvewright Bob, Congrats buddy!

Will do George, I'm like a kid at Xmax can wait to play with it on Fri. with luck I will not brake a bit right off, I did send off for a extra ones but don't like breaking bits.

Looks like a fun toy

I saw the weather report and you flash in my mine, Texas rains can be nasty.

It's not fair Corey. You got to leave and I have to stay here in Fort Worth TX in the middle of all this rain and tornado watches.

I was lucky, my flight was going to be one of the last out before the storm hit. They were trying like hell to get us out of the gate and out of there. The 6:00 flight was canceled and half the flights to the east and north of Texas were being canceled. The other night there were some real nasty storms so button down the hatches.... that time of year!

Just a snapshop of a practice MDF board
The 3rd and 4th snapshots are the type that can be cut out/snapped out of the stock and glued on to stock.

Hey Bob...

That looks pretty good "Old Fart"

Is that why you hide the glue in the coffee pot?

Glad you're having F U N !!
