that's great to hear and thanks for taking the time to post a follow up! that's mighty lemmy of you ;)

got any pics to share?

you probably know this already, but one of the nice things about hide glue is that it doesn't show up in the finish if you don't clean it up perfectly the way PVA glues do. of course, you may have more limited access after glue up like Bradley said.

one idea -full disclosure, I've never tried this - would be to apply a layer of hide glue as a masking agent. since hide glue is reversible, and assuming you'll have good access to the masked area after you apply the oil finish, you should be able to remove that high glue with heat and moisture after you're finish is applied.

old school! just like paul sellers!

people are generally ok. put them in a situation where they can climb over other people to advance and watch the rot begin.

so, while people are generally ok, corporate people are generally not.

this assumes a ductile material. I myself am smiling as though everything is fine in the elastic region and may snap at any moment.

never heard of red heart. is that the same as paduk?

didn't think much of the sequels though

"we're on a mission from God"

personally, I have no desire to live longer than I'm intended to. living to that age with more vitality, however, that sounds great!

do you mean fusion? fusions the one that separate atomic nuclei that we've had since the 1940's. fusions the one where atomic nuclei are combined, that make headlines when the reactors run for more than a few seconds
