going to have to custom build your tanning drum. i would reccomend 6 - 8 feet across the drum not around. this is needed to have enough fall to soften and break hides. some get by with a 4 foot one but this case if you have room bigger is better especially if you get into whole hides such as bears etc.
I think he sells them also.
Bruce Rittel explains it all very well in there. He says 8 feet.
