"Ought a turn you to glue."
It was a saying that I heard my great-grandfather tell his mules as he was out working. Roy was a muleskinner - a mule trainer. That phrase was one that I never fully appreciated, or understood until much later in life.
Now, I don't think today's hide glue is necessarily made from Grandpa Roy's mules-but animal protein glue (hide glue) is still made from the left overs from processed cattle. And, while not as popular as it once was, hide glue still has a ton of benefits in the shop so many that it's still a go-to choice for a lot of craftsmen in their daily work.
