FOR ANYONE WHO LOST ALL HOPE, HE'S RIGHT ABOUT THESE WORDS: @31:17 "When there's nothing else, there is God, always, and miracles can happen. They happen all the time." Congratulations on that blood work coming back to normal! Hallelujah!!! Praise God Almighty for your healing! God bless you in Jesus Christ name, guide you in His ways as His ways are lighted by Jesus and are Eternal life. (Hear my cry, O God; Attend unto my prayer. From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, When my heart is overwhelmed: Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. For thou hast been a shelter for me, and a strong tower from the enemy. Psalm 61:1‭-‬3 KJV)

Amen to your prayer at the end. I pray to the only God there is, in the name of the only mediator between God and humankind, Jesus Christ. If people call you too much on phone you gave out, you might want to leave a recording this way: "I can't answer all calls, but God doesn't sleep and He's listening, He can help you, get you there and make you better in The Name of Jesus Christ. His Mercy endures forever. Pray to Him and learn to have a relationship with Him, as He is the only way to salvation. God deserves all praise and worship."

What if you're in the wild and don't have lye? I hear wood ash in water works? Also, to condition the hides, again, what if you don't have the ingredients? I heard you can use the brains of the animal for that? Let me know if I'm watching idiots on other channels LOL.
@rhysfontaine
@rhysfontaine 23 күн бұрын
Both things are true! wood ash works well for removing hair. it just can take longer and sometimes its a bit harder for it to slip so might be more likely to damage the grain on the hide. People typically don't use brains as much in bark tanning. It's mainly used in the making of buckskin typically. That being said I think it would work as your fat solution in bark tanning as well. the main thing is that it's emulsified fat that you use in your fat solution. The two sources of that are brains and egg yolks. hope this helps!

Hey there!! Great to see you posting another video. I found it absolutely fascinating, thank you. I have a few questions?: What trees would you use for tanning in south Texas? What is splotching? Did you use any particular method for blending in that fat liquor? You've used brains in the past. Can you use brains for sheep hides as well? When you leave the hides overnight, can it attract animals? If so, how do you protect them? How long did the whole process take you? How much would you sell, if you even would, one of those hides for? Also, I really liked the nature scenes, caterpillars, flute music, and the blue jays at minutes 14:11 and 14:14. Keep up the great work!!
@rhysfontaine
@rhysfontaine 25 күн бұрын
Hey! thanks for the feed back. In Texas any oak tree will work so I would just go with whatever oak grows in your area. Splotching is where you have areas of darker and lighter color on parts of your hide. I used a blender to mix my fat solution. you can use and brains but eggs work the same way that brains do if you don't have brains on hand. you can use brains for sheep hides. you don't need to worry much about animals. Particularly once the tanning process is underway. Animals don't like to eat tannins. Way to bitter for them. the whole process took about three weeks. If they did not have holes in them then I could probably sell them for 400 bucks each or so. not sure how much they go for typically though.

Great video! I do have a question... have you tried using a rack to stretch out the hide during the drying process? I tried doing a similar method that you used to stretch the hide on a blunt stick, but after awhile, I had to stop (my thumbs really hurt). The hide wasn't totally dry, so it got stiff. I'm curious if you have run into this issue as well?
@rhysfontaine
@rhysfontaine 26 күн бұрын
Yeah I know what you're talking about. Sheep hides want to be soft fist off so that helps. Deer hides are more work to get to soft for example. Using liquid oils also help it to be soft. So olive oil instead of tallow. You can rack hides and work them till there soft. I do find that the post is hard to beat because it really breaks in the fibers deeply compared to a rack. hope this helps!

Thank you for making this video. The instructions were clear, precise, and very informative. The presentation was fluid, well-managed, and (I thought) professional. The audio was clear and easily understood. The time and effort it took to plan, practice, execute, and edit this video are obvious to other videographers! The B-roll of the forest was excellent. The process was more interesting in a natural, primitive setting than had you merely done this in a garage and made everything look quick and easy. I appreciated your respect for the trees from which you harvested bark. Without detracting from this excellent video -- Some observations : 1.) BLUNT FORCE. Would a rock or a mortar-pestle arrangement have reduced the bark more efficiently and quickly if the bark was pounded ? Perhaps pounding the bark on a flat rock with a round rock? Perhaps making a relatively shallow trough in the short horizontal log (used to cut on in the video) in which to place bark, then pound the bark from a standing position with the root-end of a thick sapling that was rounded ? More bark could be processed at one time in a more comfortable standing position that leveraged your upper-body strength and the downward force of the wooden pestle. However, a rope tied to the upper end of the pestle, and fastened to a tree branch, would act as a lever that naturally pulled the pestle upward, thereby making it necessary to just pull the pestle downward. Would pounding reduce much of the outer bark to finer particles and break the fibers of the rest, which would likely release the tannin as well as the method used in the video? Using a long, log mortar was one way to reduce maize to flour. ; 2.) YOUR FRIEND. How did your friend fare in his attempt at tanning ?
@rhysfontaine
@rhysfontaine 23 күн бұрын
Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I think there is definitely more effective ways of processing out the bark. The idea you suggested definitely sounds intriguing and perhaps ill give it a go in the future. I know once the bark has dried out it becomes much easier to break apart and smash. If I had more time perhaps I would have let it dry first for that reason. MY buddies hides are coming out great. he's doing a little bit of a different type of leather. his channel is Samuelkels and he should be putting out a video soon on his hides. You should check it out!

When I was a kid you could buy wooden boomerangs that would about take your head off from the sporting goods/toys department. That was back about 5-10 years before they sold lawn darts which were discontinued in stores. Hey different time back then. I had a .410 shotgun bird shot and a few slugs I never got to use at the age of 10. People probably don’t believe that but I’m sure there’s many mature gentlemen could say the same. 😏 Liked the upload
