Barbara, I would agree with RicB's directions, with a few exceptions: 1. Hot hide glue is easier and faster. And is the glue of choice for many decades/centuries. 2. The buckskin need only go down to the 8 o'clock/4 o'clock shoulder position. Anything more is purely a waste of good buckskin. 3. Leather hammers have been around for 300 +years! <G> It was one of the first things used on hammers.<G> Best Regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
