    I’ve watched this series a number of times and around 29:25 is my favorite part. Awesome to see how stoked he is with the end result.

    I've watched a lot of tanning videos and done quite a few hides now and this is how I do it. My main tool is like his sharpened axe handle. My stick is a little longer and smaller head but edge geometry is similar. I apply the braining while it's still on the rack. Tighten several times and grind it in over several days. It amazes me how there're so many different ways but they all seem to work. Love that stretching rack. Finished two deer skins today and got a cow skin in the snow bank. Chickadees removed the fat for me and might let the crows do some of the fleshing for me. Can't wait to see more of Rons work. I learned some new stuff.

    I wish I was your neighbor I’d be over all the time helping u lol , This is something I always wanted to learn not to make it a living from doing it just to learn and maybe do some of my own kills. I loved your video thank you for taking the time to teach us .

    Melvin Beatty is one of my important tanning teachers. He's contributed a lot to the braintanning community. I haven't been a big fan of frame softening. I know a lot of tanners that like it. I might have to go back and see if I like it more now. I cable a lot, and pumice is a godsend for the grain side.

      You are right Steven. I have learned many good tips from Melvin. My frame is based on his design. I used to only hand soften but the frame is so much easier on an old body.
      By the way I have learned from you as well and enjoy the book that you and Tamara did.

    Great teaching! Quick question. After braining and wringing the second time, do you rinse with water and wring again?

    • @JustindHunter
      @JustindHunter  3 года назад +2

      No. Don't rinse in water. The brain oils need to stay in the hide.

    Hello Sir! I love your style of softening on the rack. I am doing my first hide, and I am shocked that I can't find 2 people who agree even remotely on how to tan a hide even though it's been done for millions of years! I am more confused than when I started researching.
    My hide has been brain tanned, and allowed to dry on the rack. I have not softened it yet. I have seen "most" people cut it loose at this point and then stake it.
    Is there a way to moisten my hide that's in the rack and then follow your method? Or, will adding any kind of moisture ruin the tan, and put the hide back to rawhide?

    Hey there
    Wondering if it’s the same procedure with the hair on . Or what differences there would be ..
    I’m currently working on one and have concerns if I’m to do more or if I’m doing to much pushing ..can you stretch it to much in turn making it too thin that there is no fiber to work..? Would love to send you a picture or vid of my progress and maybe you would know what’s going wrong or right with it ..

    I was waiting to see how he tightened the strings when the hide was almost dry and it was edited out.

    • @ronnail6488
      @ronnail6488 Год назад +1

      The strings are each about 12 ft long and I just start on one side and take the slack out. Just keep going around until all the strings are fairly tight again. There is very little moisture left in the hide when I tighten the strings.

    Rookie question but I have a hair on hide that I have let dry unfortunately too long on the stretcher and it has stiffened to the point where it does not seem possible to break it soft. Is it possible to soak it again and attempt to stretch/break again? or will that risk the hair slipping?

    What type of oil is good for the hide? Can you use olive oil?

    • @ronnail6488
      @ronnail6488 2 года назад

      Melvin Beattie one of the old time tanners uses a mix of lecithin and olive oil instead of brains.

    • @heatherjaques1074

    I was wondering what Ron charges for doing a hide. I think I've watched all his videos and don't think he mentioned it. I not thinking of getting into the business as I've done enough hides to KNOW I don't want to do it for a living. I just like to know If I'm totally wasting my time or if I'm not. PS , I'll do it anyway , lol. cheers
