 I haven't tried to glue horse hair with hide glue but being both are made up of protein, it should work!

Well, guys, here is that horse hair I said I had ordered. Check it out. This is a 1 lb, 27" - 29" bundle of mixed color tail hair. I dont want to post the name of the vendor, unless it is okay with the mods, as I don't think they are advertisers. This cost me 36.00 total. Sorry about the lousy quality of the photos.

This stuff will become rope, but I think the idea is intriquing, and may try backing a bow horse hair and hide glue one day.

That bundle of horse hair looks a lot more promising than my beard! ;D Thank goodness!
   This is a very interesting project. Looking forward to more pics and the final machine. Will it be hunting weight? ;D   Pat

Have patience. Remember, the holiday slows everything down slightly. :)
