Ken,
You may purchase the Breakthrough Mammal manual through WASCO. This is a very informative manual on mammal taxidermy. It will guide you through the steps as well as give you the all important info on eye setting,ears and so on. It contains a wealth of info and for the price it is well worth it. As for videos, these to can be purchased from WASCO. Other videos are available from; Van Dykes,McKenzie and other supply companies. Just alittle advise. Mounting small mammals requires more work and patience. More detail is involved as well as more problems to encounter along the way. Practice mounting your on your own mammals first to get the feel of it, because you do not want to practice on a customers first and have things go wrong. Not saying that they will not turn out good,just saying to practice on your own first before you do customer mammals. Ed
