bjrogg:
Your doing great Zuma. So far you got further than I did. I'm having trouble finding the time and getting the space in the shop to work on those hides. I might have to work outside yet. My projects are starting to take up to much shop space so I'm told. Guess I probably can't argue with that. Your welcome to bring a toddy and visit anytime. Just make sure she's easy on the eyes.lol.

PS maybe I'm thinking of totty's, I just know if you look up tractor totty or maybe toddy some pretty nice tractors come up.

Zuma:
Glis I'll do  it just for you. But  it could be next year. A few things on the coon I just did.
The fleshed side came out pretty dingy looking. Could be the jersey brown gloves or the
black rubber from the tumbler?? The mink I dressed in eggs stayed pretty light colored.
I broke both hides a lot but they are more crinkly than commercial ones I have purchased.
I guess I am just a sis when it comes to brains but they may serve better than eggs.
I got to order some of that soy oil granules and try that. BTW did you read the "Here is is the plan" thread? 

BJ you are so, well so----Can't think of the exact word.  ??? Maybe it hasn't been invented yet. :-\
I hope you write us all a book one day soon.You are a born author. ;) O:)
No I would not bring a trailer totty. >:D  Oh or a tractor one either. ??? I meant I would
drink a Hot Toddy. ;D
Hot drink with spice, honey and any type of whiskey. Served warm ;D
After the first, I could substitute the spice  with whisky. ;D
 On the third replace the honey with whisky. ;D By that time you would have all the
 coons fleshed out. >:D >:D  But please don't put the coon fat in the stove :'(

Sure i did. I'm following all the dressing/tanning/butchering posts.
Never tried in real life but I'm getting all the information I can for future use

Zuma:
That's a good idea. Don't pay much attention to me as I am just getting my feet wet.
Actually soaked with that pressure washer ??? BJ, Bob, Ed and a few others really know their stuff. )P( :) :)
I am glad you have been lurking. I am  headed out to finish fleshing the deer skin right now
while the wheather is still soft.

Don, ya got me all fired up with your hide work, Took 2 hides out of storage( salted and stored in 5 gal. buckets) rinsed and put them in my Bucking solution(1/2 cup of KOH (lye) in ten gallons of warm water) I am going to try and get all my stored hides to a different stage Grain, rinse, acidify, membrane and dry. When warm weather gets here going to try and finsish them all out. I have never done many in the nice weather always tried braining in the winter and using wood heat and fans to help get things to the finish. I was supposed to do some this summer but you know Summer got in the way. That's the plan. :o Later Bob
