With life getting busier and busier the wife is getting less and less pleased with the amount of time spent in fur shed in the evenings. Happy wife, happy life right? So what do I all need to take into consideration? Vertical/horizontal? Overall length/height? Etc. Last edited by yote_trapper20; 12/09/21 02:39 PM.

Skinning machine dont speed me up much....just saves my hands/elbows/shoulders from all that pulling. Still got to make opening cuts....clamp pelt....make light cuts as the machine slowly pulls.

They are very easy to use, affordable, and can be used with almost any ceiling height. https://trapperman.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/users/54221/rookieia - this guy took over building them from me quite some time back. https://www.facebook.com/groups/778949436283821 - same fellas. I can show you a video of them in action if you'd like.

I don't care about that, whoever buys my green skins can deal with that if they are worried about it. Most of them aren't.
