We Have a New Book about Hide Glue 10/13/2009 (but my blog entry is a little late to the party) Stephen Shepherd has been talking up hide glue for years and has been threatening to publish this book for almost as many years as I have known him. Well - it's finally out. We have had the book for a few weeks but I have just been too busy to write about it. There already have been some nice reviews of the book here: Toolemera Blog and here: Wood'n Bits Workshop and here: Norse Woodsmith Blog and here: Woodworking Magazine Blog there are of course a bunch of other reviews all over the web but the general gist of all the reviews is that here is a book on the oldest and one of the best adhesives around and wow is hide glue underrated and wow I didn't know that about hide glue before. The author Stephen Shepherd covers the historical origins of hide glue but I think what's most important about the book is that it's an instruction manual in using the glue both in a regular glue two boards together sense and in a special case - how to glue metal kind of way. So I'm a little late to the party but I still wanted to call everyone's attention to the book. Stephen asked us to be the primary internet ordering place because retail is what we do. You can order it here. Tags: Product News, Sales, and Promotions Comments: 0 Name: Email (will not be published): Website (optional): Please enter your comment (HTML not allowed):
