[CAUT] a simple question

[Keith Roberts]

Really??? When I went to work in Dale Erwin's shop 6 years ago, liquid hide
is what he hung hammers with and had been doing it for years. It does
thicken when you let it sit out.

I guess you develop techiniques that are appropriate for the materials you
use. Hanging a set took 2 to 3 hours, total. Just like Ron O says, the tails
are just as straight as the tips.

There is a seminar at Dale's shop on August 2nd. He will be giving Grand
tours. Email promotion will come out this next week. If you are in the area,
do stop by as this is for education and the quest for knowledge.
