What is the best way to attach a european skull to a pedistal panel?
Return to Gamehead Taxidermy Category Menu
All you need to do is drill a hole in the back of the skull that is just smaller than the screw you plan to use. The screw can be a drywall or wood screw. Drill a hole in the pannel at the appropriate spot. I preffer to make the panel hole the same size as my screw as the skull will tighten it to the pannel. And away ya go!
I use 1 toggle bolt with the expandable wing nut, these are the kind you use for sheetrock to hang stuff. I drill a 3/8" hole in the center of the skull into the brain cavity, position it on the wood and mark the hole, careful not to have the teeth touch the wood. Then drill through the panel, use a countersink bit or forester bit to recess the screws head. Put the bolt through the panel, screw on the wing nut and push it through the skull and tighten. Works the best, you might have to get different length bolts to work with or just buy long ones and cut to fit with a hacksaw...

You guys are just mean! Come on. People ask honest questions, why give them a hard time?
Cute name. Look A$$hole, here's the deal. "People ask honest questions". Right! Well what about those honest people who took the time and effort to answer this same dumass questions 10 or 12 times already? Why don't you put a name and an email address, you little puke, and I'll send YOU a personal reply to explain it in language you can understand. This site does everything but wipe your nose, and still there are dorks like you who are just too damned dumb or too damned lazy to use it properly. This question is on here just about as often as "how do I use Krowtann". Obviously your generation can't read the directions on the bottle either.
The last I read this forum was under taxidermy.net and not George.net. I suppose you obviously have nothing better to do than write rude and useless comments to honest questions. I'm sure most questions have been asked in this forum many times, and replied to many times. I'm sure any questions you may have had were certainly not original. As for everyone who answered my question with solutions, Thanks.
Or do you still live under the steps waiting to bite the mailman?
Hey looser George! Some people actually have lifes and don't read this stuff day and night light you seem to do. I'm only on the site once and a while and am glad to help anyone with anything I might be able to. GET A LIFE AND QUIT BEING A JERK!
