GluePot
A "warts and all" photo of my glue pot. I have used this for 12 years now. The hide glue is in the small Rubbermaid container. I cut a piece of plexiglass to hold the glue pot in the water bath, which is heated by the mini-crockpot. The small dial thermometer measures the temperature, but I don't need to do much to keep it in the 140-degree ballpark. I use cheap paint brushes for applying the hideglue to wood joints.
