It’s an outdated saying but still holds meaning. Like these days saying “send the horse to the glue factory”. Way back when it was more common since glues were made from horse parts
There are a handful of glues still made with animal collagen. Often ones used in antique restoration and repair.
Hide glue is amazing stuff! Smells a bit, but works super well for furniture builds when you want extra time to get everything clamped up and square and settled.
