Glass stand for edge soldering

When doing an edge solder ,like you, have tried numerous ways to prop the glass piece including a child or spouse helper. Someone either got burned or the piece was always tilting.I had some scrap wood pieces approx.4''x12''.Laying two pieces on edge,a piece of glass width plus just a little more (for solder) apart. I then laid the third piece of wood across the tops of the wood edges and nailed together.Making a T shape. Then I flipped it over.The top part of the T is now the base and the two pieces of wood made a channel for the glass to slide into.Now when I have to edge solder I just put my piece of glass in the channel.You may want to make a bigger base depending on the size of finished piece you are edging but no more helpers or burnt fingers from trying to balance the piece.You can also clamp the base onto your table top.
