This is not a project of mine, rather a Challenge to you out there while I clean up the mess in my workshop.
Just knocked over a can of beer and drowned my digital caliper. I was actually trying to clean this place up, not make even more mess… facepalm
Need a solution for beverage consumption in workshop. Something to hold beverage secure and with the ability to be moved out of the way in a safe manner.
What would be the X-carve way of solving such a luxury problem? 
Too easy and does not involve cutting stuff… sorry 
True. I stand corrected.
Cupholder attached to cart/table/stand, complete with a round part on a string to set over the open can to keep sawdust out.
That would be classified as alcohol abuse in some places! Shame on you!!!
There was even a small dent in the can afterwards. Oh the horror!
Time to retrofit a Weeble, or kids punching bag!
First off - you need a YETI. You know how when you set your beer down and one thing leads to another… soon it tastes warm and back-washey. NOT with the YETI. Beer stays cold ALL DAY. It is a miracle. So, my recommendation would be to find a solution to hold the YETI which is holding your beer.
A clamping cup holder that you can move to various places that is sturdy as you are able to clamp it to various benches. 
I understand you can get these robotic devices to follow you around with an iPad on the top. Why not remove the top and replace it wth a small bar table.
Your beer could follow you around and when empty, it could be sent off on a mission to find some more…
Obvious solution? 3 axis self leveling gimbal as used to steady cameras on quadcopters/hand rigs.
shame on you wasting beer that way
What about making a bar in one corner of the shop,whit a waitress (wife ?) to serve you while your cutting away 
Well maby not… 
I stand back in amazement! So many good ideas on how to solve this most critical issue.
Eliminating the Wife-Factor is an added requirement I think… Workshop should be free of Spouses.
You guys are an insult to Saint Norm Abram… remember to read, understand, and follow all safety precautions when using power tools… and I am sure drinking would be and unsafe activity… wait till the work is done… and as Stumpy says… “have a cold one, you earned it my friend” but only when it is safe to do so.
Except when she comes into my shop to sweep the floor for me! 
Sooner or later, someone was gonna go there…
But I am inclined to agree.
I’ve been thinking of calling it Norm’s Law. Similar to Godwin’s Law, since eventually any woodworking related discussion will eventually draw out a safety reminder.
Well… It’s not. Power tool that I’m controlling… The computer is, sssssssooooooo as log as the computer stays sober were all good. Righ?
I just know that any of the cam software has to ability to add an “No go Zone” for someone passed out on the work surface…
it would also be funny for someone to make a slick video…starting with a Norm safety brief,… showing all these complicate steps… and then going to “lets see the finished product…” cut to Rick Roll… then " What didn’t you not understand about be safe…no drinking in the shop… just make sure that it has a lot of parts from different materials… viral, inventables, safety, x-carve, all hail Norm video…
