ngl im not tryna cut off a dead raccoon/ squirells head on the side of the road

Great informations about carving techniques and tools. There are no such like informations at the internet, that you had been provided every thing. Im very thankful to you and I love you so much. Thanks my younger brother. ❤❤❤

Do you clean out the nasal cavity as many other videos suggest to avoid discoloration in the future?! This is my first time doing this. Also, what temp should it be on?!

There are several methods and like you said they all have their pros and cons. I did my first try at a skull process where you skin it, boil it with water and Dawn dish soap. I did a slow simmer for about 3 hours. Then pressure washed and used needle nose and a narrow screw driver mostly. Whitened with 12% Hydrogen Peroxide by painting it on liberally with a 1 1/2 inch brush. No smell at all and only took a few days working when I had time. If you are doing many skulls though it would be labor intensive. Thanks for your great content!

Do you leave the brains in when you do this process

Great tip! Thank you.

Dude let me buy that mask, as a Norse pagan this is exactly what I've been wanting to do for religious reasons

Hi Hunter. I buried a seabird skull last Spring. In dirt. I took it out yesterday. The bottom jaw fell off. I can glue it back. It didn't smell until I stared to clean it up. There was hardened fat I guess on beak that I scraped off but I think also inside the skull there is some smelly residue. I am afraid to boil it. 1. the smell? 2. it may fall apart more? What would you suggest? I could take a bucket of hot water out side and try and clean it with a small brush. Would I still use peroxide after? Cheers

Wasn't Pyrex then...

I’m soon going to go to the woods to look for some!

Is it safe to touch after this?

Just got done slaughtering one of my goats, and I have had my past skulls stolen from my compost piles, so I've been binging this series looking for a quicker, more secure method to get a clean skull before winter sets in. The flies are still strong right now, so this might be a winner! Thanks for the informative videos!

Wanting to start. I have a pro carver. Any suggestions

Thank you for this. we've been fighting with those sheaths stink now. You and I spoke with a while ago. That we had issues getting off. We found out that someone used glue to attach them before they were properly cleaned.

If I didn’t put the patina on it would it keep the brown color

Nice vid! I know the autumn is fast approaching, but could you please make a video on cleaning bird skulls? Are they much different in preparation, due to the thinner bones?

I won’t process another head with any different method moving forward, this is amazing! I just simmered my elk head and it has not turned out the way I had hoped so far. Would I still be able to use the maceration process?

Can you speak more about how to get the corpse wax off? I found a roadkill elk skull and it was mostly clean on the road. I hung it up on my shed and overtime corpse wax developed on the top of the skull. Now it’s turning black on top of the wax. Anyway to speed this process up? Will the hydrogen peroxide bath, take care of that?

GREAT JOB! greetings from Poland

Hello, so I have already simmered my deer head in dawn dish soap and gotten some big chunks out. Would it be too late to warm water macerate the rest of the meat off since it has already been simmered and the meat is cooked?

Is there a place I can find stencils to use for my sculls?

Well. Mr Jones, you are a grumpy old toot face and your opinion is overridden!😤😠 haters gonna hate!🙄😒😆❤❤❤

Hey, I just found your video. I attempted to do a skull maceration on a buck skull for the first time but I initially started with soap and water in the mix. I read some people do it with soap & water, but I'm also seeing a lot of people say to only use water. I changed out the water after 4 days, it smelled horrible, and I put only water into the bucket this time but I haven't noticed any progress over the past 4 days. The water looks cloudy but not brown like it was before I changed the water. Do you have any ideas what's wrong? Should I just change the water again? I have the temp around 80-90F.

Quick question Would it Dremel 8420 cordless be a good starter tool for myself to start carving bone and skulls

A customer (who sells skulls) gave me a red fox skull as a tip, but it appears it is only being held together by rubber bands.

I have an elk mount that won’t go through my basement door. This is a total game changer. Thanks for the info.

10:43 *music stops* “domestic… dog…?” that freaked me the fuck out 😭 poor dog i wonder what happened…

Thanks!

You came back three years later to finish the video...but how long was the skull actually in the tree? Asking because I hung a sheep head in a tre about 10 days ago! 😂

Can u start posting again ?! Love ur vids

thank you so much! i'm doing my first full taxidermy animal (not just bones) and i would like to keep the bones :)

do you stabilize at all or can super glue do that

This is just what I was looking for. My kids and grandkids are going to love this! Gives us another idea for decorating skulls. One of my daughter’s carves intricate designs on our deer skulls, cow skulls, horse, etc.. this will give them a whole new dimension. Thanks for sharing! New subscriber, can’t wait to see more sweet ideas.

If you find a skull that all the flesh and things are off it. Basically it’s been out in nature for a very long time. Does it need to be cleaned?

what about antlers? I have the suspicion that bacteria might attack antlers too over time, making that method not useful for trophies. Any experience?

Here I am, thinking about using fire ants to clean a longhorn skull 😂

Useful advice. Thanks

Wow nice concept of carving a circuit board like blueprint onto a natural occurring scull. Very cool dichotomy of sorts!

I haven't tried it myself but I've heard the gorilla glue can be removed by soaking in hydrogen peroxide

What kind of pant would you recommend for art work

My Dremel 4000 stopped working altogether and I couldn't figure out why. After watching this video and a couple of others, I got curious. I opened up those little caps and sure enough, the brushes are worn. I'm going to order a set and hopefully that gets me up and running again.

Fantastic ty

As the chainsaw Carver I come equipped with all the tools..lol. I've collected about six goals that I have been wanting to carve and I thought let me just check into this. Dude I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your videos they are awesome! I have a question for you. I understand the cleaning process but let me ask you do you sand your skull prior to carving and also have you thought about using a sanding sealer prior to carving. Thank you so much for your dedication

Badass!

How cool 😎 I love it

Sanding sealer works too

I know I’m late, but does anyone know what that type of dust filter in his mouth is called?

I really appreciate your effort in explaining !!! Thank you I learned so much from you !

This is so cool love it

Hey! Just finding your work. Love it! Do you have some different examples of metal paints with other color patina? I'm hoping for a "black cherry" look
