When I went to visit a friend to play with her and her rubber stamps, I came home with the loan of a few fabulous rubber stamps, her heat tool, and her HEAT TOOL STAND!! This is the handiest gadget to have on your crafting table if you use a heat tool. I thought I had a heat tool but when I was at her house did not remember where it was to be found. Since then I have found it. Now I want a heat tool stand, too! I may see if I can talk Dear One into making me one, when he has time. Back in the old days I could have gone to my grandfather's shop and made one myself pretty easily and quickly. He had all the best tools for this sort of project.
If you want to make one, I believe this is pine. The bottom piece is 3 1/2 inches wide by 6 1/2 inches long. The upright is 3 1/2 inches wide at the bottom and narrows to 2 1/2 inches wide at the top and is 5 1/4 inches tall. The top piece is 2 1/2 inches by 4 1/2 with about a 2 inch circle cut out of it. There are two counter-sunk very small nails, or maybe even brads, attaching each horizontal piece to the upright piece.
This is a pattern to scale of the cut outs. Each square is 1/4 inch.
There you have it. You woodworkers can make yourself and your friends one of these pretty quickly.
