Hey guys need a little help.

I was wondering if you guys could post some pictures of your fleshing stations.

All i have is a long fleshing board and dont have it riged up in anyway.. just one long skinny board... it will mostly be used for coons, coyotes, and fox

I was hoping for something i could sit down and do but have no problem standing obviously.... as of now i wedge the bottom of the board either into my foot or agaisnt something so it doesnt move "much" and i spend more time trying to keep the board from moving around than i do actually fleshing...

I checked the archives and couldnt find anything....

any help would be greatly appreciated...

thanks

a simple door hinge secured to the beam and a studded wall will work, or the same thing and a wider board to lean it down on from about the middle of the board to the floor, or just like i have all my life, shove one end against a wall, a tree, a vehickle tire, and start fleshing.

Here is my homemade setup.






The beam is in 2 different positions in the pictures. There is an angled board that can be put in two different slots for different heights. The last 2 pics show it in each position.

thanks for the pictures.... found some in the archives tucked away... wouldnt mind having some more pics to go from if you guys find them...

i appreciate it

Here is my set up. If you look closely, you'll see I have my beams mounted to the bench at only a very slight incline and at approximately my waist level. No bending whatsoever - not even a slight stoop - and I can flesh all day non-stop. As well, I use two beams - one with a curved working surface and one with a flat working surface to match my curved and flat Zeph fleshers. Beams are made out of 2*6 maple.

Nice.... looks pretty good....any others?

TTT

I want to hear from the coon/fox/ and coyote trappers.... guys who spend hours at these things.. you must have something that works pretty well... not saying the ones who posted arent what i just mentioned im just saying... would like to see what everyone has... plus its good for the archives

well this is my home made fleshing beam and stand. its a little short but oh well. its an old oak railing proped up and stabled by some 2*4s. it works just fine for me and it was made from scraps so it was free, also its portable. i have done 4 otters, 26 beaver, and 1 fisher on it hopefully it will see more animals this fall
