I have the two of them!!! Too cute. :wub:

But...I have never used either the glue pot nor the mug warmer...so I am of no help. 

They make an adorable decoration...maybe one day I'll get around to dusting them off and actually putting them to use.

Make a violin and I'll make you a bow to go with it.

Automatic temperature control is a handy feature, which this doesn't appear to have.

I expect it has it, but since it's not specified it probably reflects "recommended drinking temperature" which some sources have at 130-160 Fahrenheit, and my guess would be this thing hovers widely at the low end of the scale.

Done! :)

I have a violin kit. I'm letting the wood age, (er, indefinitely, :ph34r:) so when I build it I know it will sound great!

As soon as it's in its final stages, I'll ring you up!

I have one and it works flawlessly. Just keep an eye on the glue temperature with a heat probe.

Looks nice too!

Thx Urban

I'll admit i like it a lot because of looks.

My wife might be happy I'm not using the sous vide for Hide glue.

The steaks ill be cooking with it not so much.^_^

I've got a spare digital thermometer with an alarm hanging around anyways should make it easy to not overheat.

Hold-Heat glue pots from Chicago have been the standard in the USA for as long as I can remember. I hope they are still available because I am now finding a lot of my tools are getting to the end of their lives and I would hate to have to get used to another.

I have had a Hold-Heet for over 30 years.  It still works, but I don't use it any more.  Now I use a wax warmer with adjustable temperature.  It has a smaller pot and heats up more quickly. And for the price of a new Hold-Heet, I can buy 6 of these.

To accelerate warming with the Lee valley pot mentioned above - I just use boiled water in the double boiler and let it cool for a few min before i put on the warming plate. Since the LV pot is quite thick, i can bring it up to a constant temp in a few min this way.

I have been using the Veritas pot for  a number of years.  I like it a lot.  I did not buy the warmer, however,so I cannot comment on that.   I drilled a small hole in the center of the lid so a thermometer can be inserted. (yes, I actually use a thermometer! :mellow:

I use a baby bottle warmer with adjustable temp. They automatically shut  off if they run out of water and a recycling feature that returns the bath water to the pot so it doesn’t evaporate too fast. Keep it on warm then crank it up when you need it.

you can often pick these up at yard sales etc.
