What does the wife say
« on: January 12, 2013, 10:22:46 pm »
when she comes home and finds that you put cow horn in a pot of water to boil to flatten for bow tips
and the pot goes dry. Make a heck of alot of smoke and SMELLS BAD.
There was more smoke coming out of her ears then I made. >:(
That was 3 days ago and it still stinks.
All I could say was sorry dear. :-[

Hahaha...... Been there, done that. I boiled some deer horns on the stove to get the hair off of the skull.  If I remember right, the pot even over boiled all over the elements. That stuff is nasty!! My wife threw the pot out, and the look I got, meant I wasn't too far behind. Hehe

Ha. Your better off than me. My wife is irish/german. She has an irish temper, plus she is like twice as tall as me.  :o It's scary round here sometimes...

My wife is French ( not so bad ) Spaniard, Argentine ( good cookin ), Cuban ( watch out! ), and Arabic. She speaks 3 languages, and sometimes, I get all 3 at once!

LOL.  I did that in the garage with some elk hooves on the camp stove.  Stunk up the garage for days, and the wife was not too happy...I can't imagine if I had done that in the house.  I would be dead.

Grinding deer antler with a dremel leaves a long lasting smell also, and  my wife and daughter operate as a team .

My wife is pretty tolerant to my bow stuff.  One thing though, I can't burn feathers and can't sand horn in the house.  Nip, Nada, No-way!   ;D :laugh: ;D  Funny to hear, though!

My wife got pretty upset when I got some superglue on her new countertops while fletching some arrows.  I still hear about that every now and then.  I know better than to do anything inside that has a smell.  I even have to make jerky on the front porch.

My wife doesnt say a word really, she knows what it means to me and how much I love it. The only time she gets a little testy is when I steam statics on an osage bow and that yellow condensation drips from my tin foil teep pee unto the stove, she doesnt care for that. If I clean it up, Im cool.

Well she's smiling again now but speaking of osage and the kitchen counter.
 Bleach takes the yellow off of a white counter top. :laugh:
You would think she would see it coming after 37 years.

Lol. No wife so my whole house is a workshop... FYI... I use the heat gun and a clamp or vise to flatten horn. Quick and effective... Brian
