Yup that is right 5am couldn't sleep so decided to try and make some hide glue for the first time.

Well now here is the real fun part, I'm using dog chew raw hide. I am having to let it soak first to let the ties loosen up first so as to untie before cutting smaller. Then to the simmer stage ( All of this is from hear say and videos ). I have not heard if making the glue will stink I hope not considering the wife will wake up turn to this

then turn me to glue. Advice welcome for next go around considering have already started this batch.
