    Always a pleasure. I have a set up similar to yours and it the cats a$$ in saving me time and money. I pull usually around 100 coon a year. The set up works on most critters equally as well. Got to watch the thinner skin ones though, but once you get a rhythm and technique down, it’s a joy to use. I made my set up also, except of course the winch. Purchase a decent winch. Some of the cheap ones burn out. The only comment I have is… I drink better beer than you!!!!! I see the can of Nat Lite sitting there. All good. I have been watching your videos for years now. Always Top Lot.. Peace Y

    Great instruction as usual. I built the same skinning machine using your previous videos and it sure works slick. Made my main post taller and made my clamps adustable for width. I don't do many racoons but I have done coyotes, fisher, otter on it, and because it's tall, I 've done several deer on it. Well worth building if you got the time and materials.... now if I could only figure out how to do beavers on it :-) .

  • @stevetaylor2445
    @stevetaylor2445 Год назад

    I did my best to copy your machine with a few exceptions.
    My opening clamp top support is made from cable and my upper pully is mounted to a leaf spring stack short of the main leaf and the spring stack is fastened to the sign post.
    I can use it free standing but can't pull very hard by hand- base is virtually the same as yours so not enough support to pull much- need to fasten it to a wall up high or lag base to floor.
    Thanks for being so generous to give such a detailed machine dimensions in the other video.

I don't have any of the fancy tools you have and laugh when you say old school . My old school is 2 pieces of heavy wire with a heavy swivel hanging from a floor joist in the basement in the center. And a hatchet to scrape the hides not as quick as a draw knife but can do a better job than the fur buyer that was in our area

    I have the same looking harbor freight lift. I am now thinking about using your raise up method with something anchored to the floor for my deer. I always use a gambrel and hang em upside down. But doing it that way the fron shoulders struggle. If I had an anchor set into the concrete I could make a clamp of sorts then raise it up to finish the process

      Skinning different critters is a great help. Fleshing takes a while to pick up. I ruined quite a few hides. Opossum are a great way to practice for Fleshing. They are thin skinned like a fox. Except with more fat. Good luck and stay in the woods.

    • @joehunts432
      @joehunts432 2 года назад

      @@timothyrothrock4173 yup ruined the 1st one. The raccoon was very fat and when fleshing, got a lot of milky substance on it. Just didn’t seem I could get the flesh clean but because I kept pushing hard with the sharp side, cut the hide up. Would it be best to skin the animal, dry it for 24hrs or freeze it somewhat and then flesh it???

    • @timothyrothrock4173
      @timothyrothrock4173 2 года назад

      Try leaving it freeze before fleshing. Than let it thaw enough to get it on a fleshing board. I skin one day and flesh the next.
      The fat has to set up. You will notice a lot of fur sheds have refrigerator in. There not there to keep beer cold. I never really use sharp side of the fleshing blade. If the fat is set up it comes off decent enough. And I use a scrapping tool for fox.
