Mini Iron Holder / Stand

Someone asked me to show a photo of the mini iron holder that I made. It is very simple. I used scrap wood (see how some of the corners are missing and there are extra holes where someone drilled) and coat hangers that I got at Lowe’s. To hold the hot tip of the iron, the Clover metal stand is attached with screws to the wood. The only reason I made it this way was because all of these supplies were in my tool closet and the stand for the hot iron was needed at that moment. Had I been able to shop, perhaps it would have been designed better, but this works. The iron doesn’t roll away and the hot tip is safe. I have seen people use large glass jars for their mini irons. I also found some versions at Barnes and Noble and at amazon.com (search for mini iron holder).
