On a recent visit to the website Etsy, I discovered a woodworker selling cigar holders. While I don’t smoke cigars, I thought it was a clever idea to hold my glue brush during glueups. X-wing. The small X-shaped holder is made from plywood scraps half lapped together, and is the perfect place to rest a glue brush during an assembly, as you see in the photo. I drilled a recess for a disposable plastic glue cup. On the bottom, I installed a large dowel so I can slip the glue holder into a dog hole to keep it in place. Now, glueups just got a whole lot easier, and cleaner.
