I am just starting out and on a budget what is the best tool to shave the fat off the cape?

I'll do it in cost methods descending:
Fleshing Machine $1200
Pressure Washer $500
Cheap Draw knife and Fleshing Beam $50
if your just starting out get some stop rot
it will give you the forgiveness in time to flesh well
latter on if you stick with it get a good fleshing machine
you wont be sorry
$5.95 at WalMart
You know, I've been a fan of the ulu for decades and use it on EVERY bear I ever get and I forgot to add it to the list. It's probably the simplest and most efficient tool anyone who does bears could ever have on their workbench.
I love them! I did not know WalMart had them. Joe
BTW. I have one I use for skinning Deer. Best tool in the world for that!
do about the same job as stop rot for retarding bacteria during hand fleshing?
Sorry I don't have much advice for tools, I'm new at this too and used a biscuit cutter to flesh my alligator skins.
Just spend the $15.00. You will not be disapointed. Joe
WHat does BTW stand for and where can you find it at wal-mart
BTW= By the way. Joe
