What Did You Do Today?
loon:
Poured sinew glue (very little but likely enough) on a tupperware container. Will scrape fat off when it gels. Then hopefully I can eventually fix up my hornbow. ..
Those stave press things could be very helpful for untwisting the siyahs

Wow. Just see a cheap one online. No FFL required. Really, rather tempting. Even though I think I'd like a breechloader.. Aaand I don't know where I'd shoot it. California doesn't have many ranges as far as I know, but whatever exist say "no black powder".

Calif has lots of ranges, maybe not as many in that vast wasteland of so cal
bubby:
You have fat in your hide glue? I don't think that sounds good, that stuff should be super clean before you make glue
osage outlaw:
What are you using to get fat in your glue?
loon:
Mostly unprocessed, but dry deer leg sinew. I guess next time I should process, wash w/ dish soap, remove the stuff that isn't sinew. It just looked oily at the surface. After straining it seemed to go away, mostly? And after it gelled, didn't notice any. was intending to scrape it after it gelled, maybe it was too thin anyway
Maybe overcooked it, flakes seem brittle.
