An HH pot (if you can find it) is 15 times more expensive than a crock pot! Unless someone uses hide glue every week, if not every day, a crock pot does the same job for occasional users. New crock pots have at least two heat settings.

Well a Blue Spruce chisel is 15 times more expensive than one I can get at Harbor Freight too...

Doesn't mean I'm going to run out to Harbor Freight and get one.

If you used your Blue Spruce chisel only once half a year, you're a tool collector, not a user. The guys I do know who own premium tools are not occasional users; they're more like weekend warriors. On the other hand, someone who uses hide glue a lot should really get an HH glue pot.

Sorry, old timers disease another thread.

Basically, I find having a reservoir of hot water is handy for keeping hammer hot, as well as adding some water to glue and cleaning up, which hot water it 10x better than cold.
