"I'm glad that it is DEAD." 🤣🤣🤣 I love these videos so much. Incredibly informative. I've been considering tanning hides from my brother's hunting for a few years now, and these videos have given me the confidence to finally take the first one out of the freezer! Thank you so much!
This is a criminally underrated channel.
I truly appreciate the information you've uploaded. I've spent time researching tanning and you Ma'am have provided me a great deal of information. Bless you for all you've done.
I worked a hide yesterday, and I'm sitting here right now with an extremely sore core section! I had no idea how much my stomach muscles would be engaged, I thought it would be more of my back and shoulders but nope it's all in the stomach you are 100% on that
Great to see you again Nat. Excellent, clear and instructive video. Thanks. Be well and at peace.
Thank-you. And for the added tip about the utility of the hair, plus grain, as tree mulch. At one time the scrap remains from raw woolen treatment (a material termed 'shoddy') was used in West Yorkshire in England as a fertilizer for forced rhubarb in darkened sheds.
Wow that's so awesome thank God for you and the lesson Bless you
You have an amazing energy. Awesome info
im gona be doin this very soon. i have two hides and a neck to work on. i wonder how an orbital sander would be in terms of removing residual grain after the hide is stretched and dried!
Can you make a video on building the structure you’re scraping on?
Hey! We have more information about this in our online class available here: wildabundance.mykajabi.com/hide-tanning-course-offer
Very interesting. Thank you for this.
The knife blade reminds me of knife from a wood planer machine.
Exactly right 👍
Nice to know that I wasn't the only glue menace. But not a glue eating menice.😁
So you didn't soak this hide in anything before fleshing and removing the hair. Do I have this correct?
Generally no need to treat the hide prior to fleshing... To get the hair off it is commonly soaked in lye solution until the hair slips easily... Then dehaired and or dehair and grain as she is doing here... She is making buckskin not a smooth leather...
What a great video ! Awesome job !
Thanks needed a refersher to get started had hine soaking in ash for about 5 days about perfect after started.
Hi Natalie, thanks for the video.
I'm going to make rawhide for bowstring, but I'm not sure if I need to leave the grain on and just remove the hair, or should I remove the grain as well?
I'd give it little soak in 0.25% lye over night. Edge sharpened hardwood stick. Really effordless and fast. Hair litterally falls off.
If you don't manage to get it all done at once, can you refreeze it or soak it again?
I second the instructions on the set up. I've used the pvc pipe but how are you locking it down so it doesn't move? Love your videos. Thank-you for sharing!
great videos!!! Do you prefer bucking? Does bucking affect the final product at all?
Hi Natalie! Love your name! Can you explain a little bit more of what you meant about the shoe leather thing? What does the grain do for the leather to be considered proper shoe leather? I'm currently in the process of soaking some hides so that I can make a few things and I want to explore all of these options.
Hey! Love your name too. Haha! We actually have a course that explains hide tanning in more detail available here: wildabundance.mykajabi.com/hide-tanning-course-offer
Did you clean the gut side first ? How long after the kill did you skin the hide
I have 11 hides about a month old been layin in salt for the month I can’t scrape the hair off
I am missing something on "soaking" the hide and properly "soaking". Are you soaking the hide in something that will make the hair/fur come out...? I've tried to search and have not found anything on soaking the hide?
Hey Eric, we’ve got more info in our class and on our blog here: www.wildabundance.net/blog/how-to-tan-a-hide/
@@WildAbundance Thank you!
Is this done before or after you have dried it?
Before
Your Awesome!!!!!, are u from Wisconsin???
Was there ever a ?final? tanning video?
We’ve got A LOT more videos in our online hide tanning class available here: wildabundance.mykajabi.com/hide-tanning-course-offer
How do you set up your station to remove the grain? First time tanning is being made more difficult by not having the proper set up 😅
Hey Philip! We actually have an entire online class that takes you through all the steps, available here: wildabundance.mykajabi.com/hide-tanning-course-offer
Is it possible to leave the grain on for a different look to the leather? Or is this a cause for difficulty later?
The grain makes it harder for the fibers to soften during the stretching phase.
Like she says in the video, leaving the grain on is a step for a different kind of leather, not buckskin!
Are you scraping after a lye solution soak? Or basically rough shaving?
Yes , how long did you soak your hide...in cold temp. I am from manitoba canada it now 32 in my garage and winter is coming
@@jocelynepambrun4895 I live in Arizona so we never have cold weather like that lol. I went natural and did a hard wood charcoal soak for 6 days or so and the hair basically slipped right off

I'm old I don't like using all my strength I preferred the easy way which is also faster

after the work, the skin will be ready for cooking
No cooking involved for the hide...
Lewis got friendzoned.
I did it with an almost dull axe head
