Four deer hides fleshed
bjrogg:
Thanks for the help Outback and Ed. I'm going to put it in a bag now and get ready for bed. I tackle it another time.

Would sure like a sewing machine and knowledge of how to use it Ed
Outbackbob48:
Thanks Ed.
Pappy:
Dang Bob, I figured as tough as your old hands were nothing could infect you. ;) All jokes aside I do like Ed and boil mine, never really had a problem and I do put them in the fridge when I am done if I plan on doing another and just add to it. BJ here is a picture of my set up to ring out the hide, maybe give you an idea. I just drape the hide over it head to tail [no picture of that] and then throw the long end over, the roll up one side and then the other over top of that to make a donut so to speak. I will try and get a picture of how it looks rolled up before you ring it if you want.

I think I did it the same Pappy. I like you wooden pole though. I use steel pipe and hide wanted to slip and slide around. I figured it out though.

Pappy ya got the old part right :o Since I retired hands seem to be getting softer all the time :( Been twisting up a handrill fire about every other day to try and keep some tuffiness in them, Also knapping keeps them nice and pretty and soft ::) ::) Pappy you getting shorter or that's a big deer hide. ;D Bob
