Everything 18th and 19th century, from cooking to homesteading it's a wonderful watch if you ever get the chance to peruse the Townsend channel. In this video his assistant makes rawhide glue, enjoy! Between the 7 and 8 minute mark, he talks about Joseph Moxen mentioning that carpenters used to add beer for the reconstitution of the dehydrated flakes, but later found that it didn't work, it actually made it weaker as a glue. I immediately thought perhaps me thinks that was what the old carpenters told their wives so thy old carpenter could have easier access to the family beer

Happy New Year to all of our Patriot Woodworkers! I hope that 2015 was a great year for you and that 2016 will be even better for your woodworking. I took several days off from the shop. Well sorta, we cleaned up the shop and put things away from all of the last minute jobs. I couldn't stand it today as I had a project that needs to get finished so we went to the shop today and worked on this Walnut Bench. The frame is all mortise and tenon joinery and today we got all of the mortises and tenons cut and fined tuned to a nice fit. We'll get it glued up in the morning and then work on another project while the glue dries. Right now it is clamped in a dry fit to just check it all out. Here is a picture that inspired this project. We also finished a Green Egg Table for an XL Egg. It got done and delivered this week. My grandson really loved the Lego table. And just a small note, but ROLL TIDE!!!! Hope you all have a wonderful New Year and I look forward to seeing your projects that start off this New Year!
