Where to find? I was at a class last night and the lady had done - that held your gun and had a place to put your project - very cool. But, of course, this was handmade and the person who made it was no longer doing so. Any ideas where to find one?
Do you know anyone who is a little bit handy, that could put one together for you? I know my former demo had one that was made by a local woodworking guy, and it did work pretty slick.
This is kind'a funny, (not ha ha). I have been working on a design for just that. I was getting ready to ask my son in law to build me something that would hold both my heat gun, my glue gun and my glue pot. I wanted the heat gun (which is the tube style) to be held above so I wouldn't have to hold it if I was working on something that I need to heat but I need to control with my hands. I'm pretty much done designing it, just making some tweaks. When I am done designing it, I will post a picture of it. Maybe if it isn't too time consuming for him he can make a few to sell on here.
I use a glue gun sometimes when I make mini albums. I HATE ripping something up when I've adhered it and it's incorrect. I rather use my heat gun and melt it and work it back off. This method requires me to have someone else hold the heat gun for me. I really don't have someone around when I'm creating.
Anyway, He's quick and handy. I was planning on giving him the specks to mine this week so maybe next weekend if he's not too busy he can make it. I'm trying to get small projects like this for him to do before he heads up to Wyoming to work in the oil fields for a month at a shot.
I will try to scan my specs and post them on here too, just in case you have someone who can make it for you. It shouldn't cost more the 10-15 bucks in supplies. I wanted to have a tile for the glue gun to rest so if glue oozes it its on the tile. I want to incorporate my little dipper glue pot too. I love making paper and fabric flowers all three of these would be good together I think.
I use a doll stand and just use a string or rubber band to hold the two sides closed at the front. It doesn't work for the Ranger heat gun, but it does for all the others.

If your "pattern" is REALLY GOOD, you MIGHT want to have it copyrighted/patented...! Don't show it until you do that!!! You could sell it for crafting $$$!
I have a holder like the one Patty is selling. Purchased it a long time ago at a stamp convention. First thing that happened was that I left the gun in the holder after using it, and the heat burned something out in it. My hubby, being a mechanical kind of guy, fixed it for me.. Seems the guns should be set on their sides to cool. I now have a different gun, but only use the holder for storing it. Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. They ARE handy to have.
I use my Creative Memories cup holder and it looks like you can still find them out there. I hooks right onto my desk and is just the right size!
Please explain how you use this to hold your heat gun. I'm having trouble visualizing it. I happen to have 2 of these and would love to repurpose one for a heat gun. If you could post a photo of the holder in use, it would be much appreciated! :-D
