Simple & Sleek Glue Gun Holder

Jocie's a fiend with a glue gun, and she's always gluing something together. Too bad those rickety stands the glue guns come with don't work very well. When we setup her new craft desk, I ...»
also made her a simple, sleek glue gun holder.

I used scrap plywood, pine and poplar lying around the shop, and I found an old, spare bath tile. This project was really simple, and it only took about 4 hours to complete. I hope you like it. #glue_gun #woodworking

    Another suggestion that works for me is to treat your cast iron after cleaning it. I coat my ...»
    cast iron with cooking grease or oil then heat it to seal the iron. Just rub a thin layer into the iron with a paper towel or clean rag then heat. Done regularly, this helps to create a finish that is less sticky while cooking, easier for cleanup, and helps to prevent future rust problems,. This works well with cast iron pans also. And just about any kind of heat will work. When camping, I just through my pans back on the fire after treating.

  • After spraying it with primer and black paint, I felt it needed a little something special, so I stenciled a flowering vine all the way up the front of the drawers. 3
