Receptacle for Shellac Varnish
A simple, inexpensive, and practical pot and cover for holding shellac varnish in the pattern shop, or at home, is shown in the sketch. It consists of a base made of wood having in the center a counterbore into which a glass tumbler, or other container, is fitted. For the cover an ordinary flowerpot is used, fitting down over a ring on the base. An accumulation of shellac around the top cannot come in contact with the cover. The brush extends through the hole in the bottom of the flowerpot and is held suspended by means of a leather washer resting on it.—Contributed by J. D. Roberts, Kenosha, Wisconsin.
