      George, at one time the smartest people in the world thought the earth was flat, that did not make it flat.
      Up until recently it could not be done, sometimes it takes a determined old man to make it happen.

        My fun meter pegged out last year and 60 years was more than enough for me. I felt my work was starting to show my attitude and I hung up the apron. Haven't regretted a second. Do miss some of the people but dealing with SOME of them helped me decide quicker.

        In the top margin, click on "Forums". Find the forum you want to ask a question in and click on it. You'll find wording like "Post a New Topic" and when you click on that you can ask the question.

      Ive been using a hionis fleshing machine since about 1979 and it has treated me well.I do this from the front with my right hand under the cape.Im looking into updating,and looking at various manufacturers.Since it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks,can you recommend one to use from the front.

        I doubt you're older than me and I learned a lot of new tricks up until I retired. Get yourself a Dakota pro in front of you where you dont endanger cutting your thumb off.

      Hi George I have not been on the forum in years but I ran across an excerpt on FB from " Presidents I've Known" with the current CMS of the AF picture attached to it. maybe old news to you. I always research everything before I pass along and sure enough your name popped up. I thought I remembered you as retired AF.

        Yes, I've tried to email everyone who sent the letter with Kaleth Wright's picture on it to delete the post but I know lots have gotten through. The damned internet takes on a life of its own.

        20-50 pound monofilament sanded to the shape and length. Sanding with fine Emery cloth makes them opaque.

      If you're going to make single lamps, I'd suggest the caribou leg from Van Dykes.

      That's Michael P. Schlabach who did that. I think Joe Kulis markets a tape of him doing that mount. I've never done one like that

      Hey George, Have you ever finished the back of a pedestal mount like attached. I'm trying to figure out what product was used to get this look. I can't find out who originally made this mount.

      Thanks a bunch

      George, I'm getting all my stuff ready to do my deer mount. In the meantime, my partially fleshed cape is in the freezer. You had suggested applying Stop Rot prior to applying the dry preservative. Can I use denatured alcohol instead? Just wondering because it's cheaper.

        No, denatured alcohol is simply and astringent. Stop Rot was invented by a microbiologist who discovered a way to prevent individual cells from putrefying. It's more expensive but worth every penny. It's great on cuts and scrapes, sunburn and poison ivy. Fantastic stuff.

      George, i have some squirrels that john Ellzey sent me through UPS and it took three days for me to get them.
      When i did they were warm and not frozen any more well i checked them and one out of four was slipping and the other three was not.
      So my question is when i take them out of the freezer should i spray rubbing alcohol on them before or after i let them thaw out i just to be sure ?

        Personally, I'd use denatured alcohol instead. It has astringent qualities regular alcohol doesnt.
