Rawhide chew toys for dogs....Dude you are amazing. Fine Art Oil Painter here, and boy do I need a steady supply of DIY hide glue. Organic glue is best for Archival conservation, and I am not keen on paying through my nose for Rabbit Skin Glue to make my Gesso, panel sizing and Bole. Thank you a bunch.

[@rmt3589]

Do youbmake any of your own paints? Would love to see some tutorials on how you make your gesso, and how you make and use this. If you decide to make a video, let me know. Nevertheless, any advice on how to make my own paints?

[@Splatterpunk_OldNewYork]

@@rmt3589 Probably gonna start a channel real soon. Bought all the camera equipment and learning video editing as I speak. It will be a trip. Will let you know when it's up my friend. And yes, I make my own paints, panels, gesso, and painting frames in the baroque style. Been painting for 25+ years. I can copy Rembrandt at this point.

When at college our lecturer did a demonstration on different types of glues used in carpentry. By far animal glue was the most insanely strong. Most brand "super glues" were laughably flimsy compared to animal glue, that shit was miraculously strong. Stunk like death though, definitely the biggest downside.

[@garyindiana2127]

yeah, that smell

[@dalehall7138]

"Stunk like death" .... literally true

[@johnbsys1846]

Just add a little skunk essence youll forget about the animal smell .

[@zhilakhoub4675]

Thats how body works! After any surgery all cut tissues can be glued together in few weeks . Just puting the edges together and waiting is enough! Awesome creation!

[@ChickenPermissionOG]

ca is just acrylic it is brittle.

[@chinchilakid]

THANK YOU! We use hide glue in very specific metalsmithing applications, and I didn't learn how to make my own when I was in college. It is difficult to find for sale and I'd always rather make over buy. Thanks so much for sharing this very helpful knowledge!! 🙏💕💕💕💕

Wow! The strength surprises me. Seems to beat pine pitch glue by a mile.

Deer thinking at 04:30, the last time you mentioned a pot of glue my brother vanished, you said he went to live on a farm miles away, really, you seem to have plenty of glue and i am lonely.

Adding some salt will most surely prevent it from molding and extent its shelve life.

[@ramenchickenflavor2634]

yeah, works for the glue aswell!

[@johnbsys1846]

I also use small bones from deer in my hide glue it knocked the smell down to half as bad and it thickens the glue and its really strong .

[@Goldenhawk583]

do you use whole bones, or do you split/break them first?

[@souladventurer8911]

The guy gas some cool beard so the video must be a real deal

[@SDM17RG]

[@bashkillszombies]

Gas?

[@freehee2]

Great video. Once made can you let it dry and store it and reuse when needed? obviously reheated.

[@katystadter]

Hi Greg. Thank you for the tutorial. I bought artificial sinus and had a hard time getting it to stay. Didn't want to use crazy glue. Real nice point you made there. Do you use your pet deer for hide? ha ha. I will look on your page to see if you have a video on running flakes across the face. That is where I am stuck at. Katy Stadter

[@almishti]

Does hide glue tend to soften if it's in strong sunlight and heat and/or if it's really damp? Also I've heard it's not the best to use on, say, wood joints that will be under tension like to join an instrument neck to the body? What's your observations on that? Thanks for the vid, if I still lived in a nature area with lots of animals around I'd love to try making my own glue like this! :)

[@gregpryorhomestead]

It's water soluble. I know it was used traditionally for woodworking and instruments but it would be pretty delicate.

[@djstadel]

A good video that brought up childhood memories. In response to this question and the 8th comment to the previous question. Years ago i studied stringed instrument repair and building. I seem to remember some of the more traditional as well as more contemporary texts giving directions for using heat and a thin metal blade or wedge to remove the neck from the body of guitars, violins and mandolins. Hide glue is still sold and used in fine woodworking as well as being used in traditional bow and arrow construction. So, I think it will do fine in a well designed and constructed wood joint under stress. If you need a more definitive answer, i might suggest contacting Elderly Instruments in Lansing, MI. Talk to their techs in the repair dept. Or find a local bow maker. Or see sources below. Ill give Elderly a plug as Ive done business with them for years. In addition to doing excellent repair and setup of instruments for both us common folk and world famous musicians, they sell and stock a wide variety of quality new and used stringed and other instruments and do business worldwide. All from a multi story old corner building by the river in northern Lansing's historic Old Town. Its an area with many galleries and events relating to the arts. The store and area are both worth a visit online or in person. If looking for general sources of hide glue, you'll want brushes and a heating pot. The glue is sensitive to being heated too high so you need a thermostatically controlled electric pot to heat the chips to the proper temperature. As I remember, it was 155 to 165 degrees F. Too cold and it wont get a good intimate contact with the wood surface. If you heat it too hot, you'll ruin it. Id verify that temp to be sure as its been decades. Ive done it years ago on a stove with a double boiler pan and a thermometer. Once used for hide glue, I'd plan on only using them for that purpose in the future. The heating pot I have plugs into 110v wall plug and has temperature setting marked. If doing much of this work, the pot is worth the cost and more compact and saves pans and kitchen stove. Sources if you don't want to make it; Check the ads in Fine Woodworking and other woodworking magazines. Also, www.stewmac.com is an online source of luthier supplies and tools and has the glue and pots. A source of woodworker supplies including hide glue, tools and wood is Johnson's Workbench in Charlotte,MI. I hope this helps. Ill also add that Ive seen it made as in this video 60+ years ago but, I'm pretty sure attention was made to keeping it at a low simmer and not boiling it. Perhaps it was after the glue liquor was skimmed off and filtered. Ive seen it made with and without a thermometer. Perhaps they had another means to monitor the temp. And the quality can vary batch to batch with homemade methods. In survival or primitive skills this may work fine. But, because of this variation, Ive purchased the glue from retail sources when I used it for woodworking projects. And in those times, a thin coating on a well fitted joint is far better than slopping it on all over. Humbly Dale

Very nice! Can u overkook the hide? Would it make sense, as can be ssen in some videos, to put the hide strips into a blender to cut the pieces further down? And I like your dog, very cute! :)

When you were testing the strength of the glue there was a walking glue farm sneaking around you 😂 in the background.

Can you do that with fresh pelt or does it have to be tanned?

[@codygervais995]

How flexible is the bond? Could it be used in backing a bow?

[@michellepatterson3573]

Yep

[@MrKeinanen]

How long is the process from hide to glue? I wonder which would be easier to preserve, hide or glue. Could you just use as much hide you need for the glue and preserve the rest or would it be better to make as much glue as you can and preserve that?

[@TheTurinturumbar]

I dry it in flakes and keep it dry. With the time and effort involved why not do as much as possible?

[@Loto.Nintendo]

Can you reuse old hide? Or once its used you cant anymore?

[@DarxusC]

If you can reconstitute it with water, it's not waterproof, which answers my first question. Is there any adhesive I could make from natural sources that is waterproof? I'm thinking about laminating wood for now making.

Do you have to remove the last trace of fat and muscle or would a little remaining OK?

[@makerspace533]

My father used to use this for marquetry. It was very stinky. He would work on it outside rather than in the shop. A lot of antique furniture was assembled with animal glue. Sometimes microbes would eat all the glue and leave the joint dry.

[@greendecor5240]

Could u do it with fresh hide though? Like hide that's been scrapped of fat and hair but hasn't been dried

[@ReturntoNatureSkills]

Can you also make hide glue from suede scraps or it needs to be rawhide ?

I don't think anything tanned will work.
