I've done that too! I've also used the "spare" bolt holes at the base of the bench vise as a backup when the Dremel base was not on the bench. Now I just use the tool I mentioned above.HurriCrane Racing said:
I had made a holder for my oil out of a small block of wood but I wasn't using it when I tipped the bottle over (again). Luckily, the bottle is very near empty already so none spilled out. Since I just ordered a fresh bottle from John I decided I would make a new holder that was a little more idiot resistant before it shows up. A short length of 2 1/2" aluminum bar stock works nicely and is heavy enough that I'll have a hard time turning it over now!
You could hot glue it to a 45lb weight, LOL! Sweet work man! How long did it take to go through a bottle?

I think I should drill four holes in this thing to hold the axles when I'm assembling a car.

The more you play around it, the more chance you have of dumping the next bottle over. Just be careful... LOL

BR, that's a great Idea! /images/boards/smilies/thumb.gif
Mojo, this is why I try to keep the cap on the bottle. /images/boards/smilies/cool.gif

Yeah... me too... I still spilled mine when the cap wasn't on... LOL I hate those tiny bottles.
I need to just get enough where I can keep it in a butter bowl or something... that will not spill over. LOL

OK! But I'm not taking money this time. I'm only trading for speed tips!
When I get the next one done, whoever sends me the best speed tip in a PM gets it for free! I'll let y'all know when it's ready.

This seems like an excellent solution, as it both kills spills and allows for more precise application. Is there any reason one would not prefer a needle tip bottle?
A 10-pack of needle bottles (more'n anybody'd ever need, I reckon) isn't too spendy.

Maybe now, I won't spill my 3rd bottle of oil when it gets here. uchhhhh ! ! ! ! (where is the emoji with the gun to it's head?)
