Nice Video.....sounds like You have a very Smart Little One there too!!!

But Gawd....You made me Squirm with that Knife....thought you were going to skin Yourself first!! I always use a sharp pair of Barber Scissors for Snakes....lot quicker for Me...and safer too!!I have never laid them out like You do....I have always just left them in the Solution for a week...then dried them out....This works good for Soft Skins....but don't do it if you want to back a Bow with them

 i agree about not using them for backing bows but its a very simple and easy way to make soft skin for other things lol :) ttyl
