I found a video at the local library by Fine Woodworking on Furniture Repair.
Aside from a lot of good wood repair demonstrations, the instructor gives a
lot of examples of Hide glue uses. I had heard people talk about hide glue,
but had never seen it in actual use. After seeing this video, I immediately
went out and got a glue pot. I use it whenever convenient for wood/wood
wood/felt situations.
