Mark, Miss Heather won't let me put anymore skins in my freezer.  I need to frame up and scrape a couple of hides.  What size do you make your frames for whitetails?

You need a bigger freezer Matt.  I have one in the garage and the wife is afraid to look in it.  When she found a beaver head in our kitchen freezer she thought it was best that I get one for my stuff.


Pappy,  all of your ax handle work has me in the mood to make a few for some of the heads I picked up this summer.

You're right Clintster.  However, I have on large chest in the garage for her fruit, one large chest in the basement for our meat, a side by side refridgideezer in the kitchen and an over/under refridgideezer in the basement also.  The power company loves me already.

yes I have lots of freezers also Matt, 2 for nothing but Hides/wings/snakes/brains and any other dead critter I think I might be able to use at some point. ;) :) We didn't get a chance this year like we did last year to work up my Turkey wings so I have about 60 pain in one freezer and at least 15 to 20 deer hides in another, ya the electric company loves me also. ??? I will have to measure Matt but I think most are 6x6 and 1  7x7 for larger hides also have a small one about 3x3. Just lay out you biggest hide and measure it leaving about 10 or 12 inches around it for stretching and lacing, it really can't be to big, just takes more lacing. Be sure to brace them good on the corners because after the hide is stretched wet and then begins to dry it will pull hard on the frame. :) Clint I know what you mean, I am out of ax heads so yesterday I was looking through my log splitting tools and found 3 old splitting mauls that need handles so that's my plan now is to make some for them. :) I put tru oil on the Walnut and Osage handles yesterday and man do they look good also stained the Hickory with Walnut stain and sealed, it really brought out the grain in the Hickory and looks great also. :)

I am a tool nut and bad about buying out folks wood shops when someone gets tired of them our someone in the family passes, I bought out one 4 or 5 years ago and unloaded the stuff in my shop at work because I have no room at the Cabin shop or at home. ??? I did take the Joiner and drill press home but left the other stuff in the shop at work. I decided yesterday to get it checked out and haul home, turned out to be pretty cool tools, old Craftsman band saw 12 inch and table saw with all the accessories they had for one in them days, probable built in the 50's or early 60's . I got them all cleaned up and ready for the inside shop at the club. Should be handy. This make 3 table saws and 4 band saws, guess a man can't have to many. ;) ;D ;D Miss Joanie says I am addicted and need help. :) My name is Pappy and I am addicted to tools, :( there that is the first step, admitting you have a problem.  ::) ;) :)

Pappy:  My wife has claimed for years that I plan to build something for which I have NO tools and that's the reason I have so many now!  When I built my large shop out in Battle Ground, WA. I figured I would be able finally to lay out and discover just what tools I had.  Well, that did not work as all the sudden I had lots of room for more new tools.  Its just the way we are!  Joe
