Is this just to dip hot tools into and cool? If so, I just use an old cermanic coffee mug...keep it next to my torch and dip tools as needed....hope this helps....this means more money for glass...hehehe...MIKE

I purchased some large metal measuring cups at Target. I use the 2 cup size as my water bucket.
You could also use something like a cleaned out metal soup or vegetable can. Those are free!

Soup cans do have to be replaced every once in a while, because they corrode through... otherwisee they're great!
I got some small metal dog bowls cheap on Amazon that I use for some things, too, but they're not very deep.

I've seen metal "cups" at Bed, Bath & Beyond. They are the bottom
half of a toothbrush holder.

It occurred to me that I've seen stainless steel mugs in the camping section of GI Joes, and for that matter, I bet those enameled ones would work like a charm too, and they're cheap!

oooh - that's the ticket, they have the blue ones that are speckled with
white drops. REI has them and probably any other camping store.

Yes it is for cooling tools....Thanks everyone for your suggestions....I was wondering if a soup can or such would work.
Thanks again! Becky

Pyrex measuring cup works great too--sometimes you can find chipped ones @ yardsales for a quarter!

I recycled a glass pickle jar for my crack off jar. The bigger stuff goes into a metal bucket I got cheap at The Christmas Tree Shop. I throw stuff in there dry though, so it kind of needed to be metal.
