    Excellent suggestion. I use large 24oz bottles that are difficult to stand upside down or even on the side because they roll. I need to build a stand alone that will not fall over.

So one problem a lot of woodworkers have, it's just a little thing that drives people nuts, is how long it takes for the glue to come out when you need it. And a really simple project, maybe the simplest project you'll ever do, is a little upside down glue holder. All you need is a block of wood and a drill bit and you drill three holes and then you can place your glue upside down in those holes. So that it's ready to go when you're ready to use it. That's it.
