Titebond III will become gelatinous when cured at any age in ethanol, no flame and naturally heat will evaporate the solvent. The solubility is low but I do not know the rate. I have not tried any other solvent. If you add water to the gelatinous solution or to the you will get a messy ppt, unless that is what you want.

They are so beautiful that they deserve to be on display permanently as museum pieces. As a lover and admirer of traditional European marquetry work I say: MAGNIFICENT! Thank you for creating such wonderful works of art. These boxes deserve to be in the Wallace collection or the Musée Carnavalet in Paris.

Absolutely superb! 😲😲The great Charles-André Boulle would be proud of you both! Congratulations and best wishes from Argentina! 🤩🤩

can't watch this can't hear you

OK, it is easy to understand how to soak through a veneer. But I have bene trying to figure out how to soak through a thick ebony guitar bridge. The water simply won't soak through. So, the only thing I can come up with is to rout it off (ruin the original bridge) until there's basically a veneer thickness left, and then soak that leftover layer. Do you have any better tips and ideas? Thanks.

What is wrong with me? I say that because I'm riveted to this guy and his work.

This might be the nerdiest video I’ve ever seen, and I loved every second of it!

I have a question. I have a valuable instrument pedal made in the 1960s in England that has a rubber foot pad that needs to be reglued. Its very similar to a shoe tread and will be mated to a painted metal shell. From the pictures I see of similar old pedals the manufactuer was using some type of brown glue that seems to sort of leak/run/expand over time. That or the rubber shrank. Would this glue be good for restoration?

Beautiful craftsmanship sir

I cut out paintings from veneer, make reproductions, maybe you have a job for me

Very well presented and to the point

the only really reversible glue, thanks for the video about hide glue,

hide glue is valuable material unfortunately abandoned today in the most shops,

Hi, I know it's been some years since you made this video but, is there a slim chance you are still selling the leaf springs?

Mona

Hi there, Can you let me know what jolds the drawer in? It seems to click in, but i can't see what does that. Many thanks

What was that part about plate glue ?

Thank-you for this. Very concise. Would like to see more clear shots of the photo-bombing dog.

So I’m so new at all of this, please forgive my ignorance!! I’ve broken apart a wood chair and cleaned out the screw spots of slightly broken wood. I’m ready to glue using OBG and with straps and clamps. My question is should I go ahead and re-set my screws or wait 24 hours until the glue dries?

Fantastic workmanship! Worthy of a few centuries ago!

😮 Amazing. I shared over on twitter...

Boa tarde! Sou marceneiro no Brasil! Marchetaria é uma verdadeira arte! Belos trabalhos ! Estou estudando por conta própria os conteúdos de Marchetaria, principalmente os seus conteúdos no KZbin, Você recomenda literatura específica da área, que possa traduzir para português! Você tem Instagram?

Excellent video! Thank you for the information and for showing you actually taking apart the glue joints. Thank you also for the out takes at the end - makes me feel more normal!

Thank you for the video, I think more modern woodworkers should learn about en use hide glues

I need some of those springs

Amazing craftmenship, thank you for sharing this video!

Thanks a lot! Do you have a problem with hide glue odor? I always have problem with the glue i make, even though the temp doesn’t rise above 140 degrees, although the dry glue I purchased had an unpleasant odor. Is there any method to enhance the smell? Many thanks!

Thank you for sharing this very helpful info.

All I can say is "WOW". Thank you for sharing.

I want a heavy drawer to do the same thing how could I do that?

Bonjour merci pour votre vidéo très pédagogique

Absolutely incredible pieces. The inlay is amazing

Thank you. Hopefully will be able to repair the arm of a £5 auction antique chair that was very badly repaired initially.

Bro lemme get 4 of those springs 😂😂

This video was posted on june 6, 2013 ... almost 10 years ago ... and I've just bought my first small bottle of OBG a month ago from 'my man in Berlin; Dieter Schmid'. I have just the project to test it out on nearing glue-up now: copies of (missing) architectural wall-paneling (wainscoting ?) from ca. 1820. I'll need at least some open time (working alone) but slow-cure epoxy just feels wrong so I'm looking forward to giving OBG a go. I have a hunch it'll be a very useful addition to my glueing repertoire :-) Much impressed by your work ! I have so much to learn, but so little time. Best regards from a Norwegian woodwoker.

Soo cool ! You should sell this idea to IKEA -- people would love to have these boxes :-) just kidding!

Craftsmanship worth it's time and place in time and celebrated by user's and admirers alike . Thank you for sharing and dedication to excellence.

Thanks for the video. Found you on FWW and was inspired by Steve Latta to use hide glue on my next project, a Federal style demilune card table. I've done some veneering already, and make my own so it's thicker than "store bought" veneer. But he uses hide glue for veneering and making banding (sometimes). There's still a place for PVA in my shop but I've already bought a double boiler and this afternoon it's down to Woodcraft to get some 192g granules. I'm making my own veneer hammer and had a question about the one you used: how wide is it? I was thinking of making two hammers, one about 3" and one about 2". Yours appears to be the smaller size on that project. I guess use whatever squeezes the glue out best? Thanks again for all you do for the woodworking community!

Just an idea, when I pour out the glue, after it cools and jells I cut it up into smaller pieces while it's still playable, it will dry faster and I don't have to try and break it up once it's rock hard. Another trick, I have an old box fan that I lay flat ( make sure to allow plenty of air flow through the fan) and set my screen on top of it, set it on low, it will dry the glue incredibly fast. If you use a food dehydrator, do NOT use the heat setting, it will melt the glue, and take my word for it, it's a mess. One last thing, you may have heard or read "not to use hide glue during a thunderstorm" in my personal experience this is absolutely true, I've done it, and it will not jell. I make my own glue, and have been cooking it during a storm and ended up with nothing but slime, and I have glued pieces during a storm and the will not set, maybe it's me, but this has been my experience. I've been using hide glue for over 20 years, and I love it.

I once was gluing up a project with through tenons that I pushed my luck on and made a hair too tight so that, when the glue was applied and the wood swelled, I cracked one element with a mortise. Since I was assembling with PVA glue, I felt that, if I disassembled, and made a new piece, I'd never really be able to reassemble the good joints because the PVA would have dried on the joint surfaces and, unlike hide glue, will not reactivate. So, I glued it all up and kept the item for my own use. At that point, I learned my lesson and started switching over to using hide glue. Now, if I hit a snag gluing up, there's a good chance I can have a second try. It's rare to need that, but often there is so much on the line at glue up, so much time invested, that I'm just more comfortable.

Beautiful work

Hi Patrick, I have a chair glue up tomorrow and I want to use OBG, I was wondering how long I should leave it in clamp? also, should I use it just for restoration or can I use it for any other project?

I’m going to attempt this mechanism on a much larger scale, a dresser. I’d love some advice!

♥

This is so good I am a new woodworker and I just discovered your page. I just learned about hide glue but now I'm hooked! I love learning about new stuff that is really old school thank you for sharing. I am a retired old army sgt and woodworking is new to me but my shop is growing by leaps and bounds thanks to you guys sharing on youtube!

that is grenetine and when you warm it doesn´t pass 75 dregree celsius!!! jajajaj here the cheapest secret

Thank you for your video! 🙂

We wanted something more challenging.... LOL. Fantastic workmanship. I am amazed! Thanks for sharing. Cheers from Bergen, Norway.

Thank you very much!

I don’t suppose you have any springs left?
