adhesive used was either hyde glue (made from shredded dried skin from animals including dried fish skin) or a mix of hyde glue and tree sap. Another type of adhesive was the mix of tar and hemp fibres/ rope used mainly in boats and ships due to the waterproof properties.
Up until the early 20th century, many useful objects were made of bone. People who could afford meat could make pins, combs, spoons, and even objects of art at home. Was bone-carving a profession in itself, or part of the horner trade?
I have come across references to a colonial "Horn Book" which describes sheets of horn covering a tablet-like wooden paddle children in early America used in their one room schools. A sheet of paper containing the Lord's prayer and a,b,c,'s for children, was covered by the horn sheet to protect the writing. Have you any ideas on how that sheet would have been big enough or if multiple sheets were used?
This is a really underrated channel. I look this stuff up all the time. Why was it only just recommended to me??
The plastic before plastic, huh? I never knew it was so malleable. Very cool.
Great video as always! This is the best channel to learn obscure history

They also, apparently, used horn to make window panes.
