Nice job bro, glad to have your vids here, as the Lead Instructor at the Pathfinder School, your teachings here are invaluable as well.

I agree with cheeselyman, I'd really like to see a video where you do some leatherwork, maybe making moccasins or something like that.

you might be a red neck if you use a hand grinder to flesh a deer hide,lol awesome idea man i might try this on coons

[HokalaNumpa]

great idea bro never would thought of it

[scottish3760]

just a few tips as a taxidermist, trapper and hunter. Never ever use a spinning brush on your hides if you want to keep the hair on. I would not use it on a hide even if it was hairless. The bristles spinning can and do hurt the grain of the leather and they damage the hair roots. I can flesh a deer hide in 20 min to the point of salting and drying. You will have to thin the hide during the tanning process any way especially with a brain tan due to the fact that a brain tan only goes about 1/4"

I would like to see you do a video on brain tanning too.

I would like to hear how these tanned. Just curious if the wire left any/enough steel behind that may react with the brain. Is there any kind of coloration on the skin side?
