Good video

Thank you for your video as well as your knowledge as I'm sure it took many years of experience to get to where you are now. :) My boyfriend acquired a Bengal tiger full head and skin from his deceased Grandfather. His Grandfather had the head stuffed? The body is the skin so not mounted... I know my terminology is way off so forgive my ignorance. We are looking to sell it and don't know where to start with getting an appraisal, we believe it to be quite valuable because the animal is protected now so getting it now would be impossible (legally) and I see fake bengal tiger heads selling for 3 to 4 thousand dollars that look cheesy. Please contact us to discuss a few things or make a video about animals that aren't hunted today and a ballpark value. Thank you!

I have a good suggestion for you, try wrapping your wood whool around a foam core. It will give you a better anchoring point when you run the wing wire into the body. Its just a thought.

To get started, what freezer situation would be the best to store things?

Great videos!! Looks like your finished making videos, if you make more any bird video or varmint would be excellent!! Thanks for your efforts!!

Can you still do this method if you’ve already put borax on the skull cap and it’s dried out or do you need to do this immediately after you cut the skull cap?

Watching many YT demos , you nailed it. Thanks

Wonderful way of teaching and enjoying hobby of your own passion,,, ❤❤❤

Great video!

What kind of string are you using

You never mentioned charging for your electricity or utilities, incorporating that money into your billing.

No shipping cost? taxes? No overhead (electricity, water, phone, advertising, etc....) Nice video but I think a few things are missing. A good formula for price setting is explained in the old Breakthrough Business Manual IMO.

Awesome information

Question, I mounted my deer with them in place from when I skimmed it. I salted, pickled and tanned the hide and mounted it. Will they crack the way I did it? Is that why you do it this way? Once everything is dry should I go over mine with Apoxie sculpt? Thanks.

Do you have to be a vet first just to be a taxidermy artist????

Maybe add in shipping costs on ordering your materials. That gets higher all the time. Great video, though. Thanks.

Nice man I’m a taxidermist in geauga county Ohio still sorta new but would love to come down and pick your brain

DONT DO THIS around the antlers, I barely started and it's burning the base of the antlers. Boiling it now and its peeling off. I could see torching any remaining bits. Looks like shaving everything off with a scalpel was how you avoided boiling.

Awesome video! Also what about the building that you work out of costs? As well as lights/power, water, ins.etc

What about taxes. Sole proprietorship or LLC? what's better for right offs?

I don't like to burn look.

That "small guy" is bigger than anything I've ever killed lol

Great video. Thanks!

I just got a nine-pointer, and this is EXACTLY what I need! Thank you so much. Chris (in Maine)

Put one end of that wire in a vice and other In ur drill chuck and go forward and reverse a few times . Will he straight as an arrow

Hey, great work! Can you take us through a list of tanning methods you love and those you hate? And also, a list of who you order from and who you dont. Thanks for what you do!!

I'd like to see the finished product

I put mine in a fire ant mound for a week or two.

Thanks a lot this is really helpful

This was so helpful. Thank you

Thanks!

Are you using 12 or 14 gauge wire for your wings, legs, and neck?

Good video, finally someone showed me how to keep the neck wire from spinning in the body. Also a less expensive way to do bodies. Thanks

Great job. You are a very good teacher.

Good video and information but I feel you left out something VERY important. That is rent and insurance. I know a lot of guys say, "Well I'm working out of my house so there is not rent and my wife has a job with insurance." That business out of your house is taking up space and if your insurance company knows you are operating a business out of your home your homeowners insurance is going to go up to commercial rates...that's assuming they don't cancel you completely in which case you will be paying a lot more anyways. Anyone with a business without liability insurance today is not very smart.

Do you have veido on making molds for deer nose. If not could we see one in the future. This was good information for deer mounts.Thanks

I appreciate this video, when I was somewhere between 18-20 i tried to get an apprenticeship at a local taxidermy shop. I offered to work for completely free just to learn the craft, the asshole still wouldn't teach me anything.

Hello! I'm 15 and I have been wanting to get into taxidermy for around 2-3 years. Recently I've started a job and I have enough money to get supplies to start and I decided that I want to make my own forms and mounts like you do instead of buying them. But I also have been looking for some professional advice on what to start with supplies wise. If you could give me some tips that would be well appreciated :)

Well I’m impressed! Holy brushing would have never thought it would hold up to that ! Like the last technique too. Great looking head.

Good video, thanks, on Labor, every time I’m working in my shop a client comes in tells me what he wants they always tell me the story of when he killed the animal and then when they pick it up you usually hear the same story all over again. I charge that time as well.

I found value in your video. Thank you

So at the end you have $355.50 years in the third account. Do you pay that entire amount to yourself? Or out of that are you paying yourself a smaller hourly rate and leaving some money in that account?

Thank you for making the video. What kind of string and gauge wire? Is there any benifit to putting mothballs in the form?

Do you sell your molds?

You forgot a huge chunk… shipping! It kills me everytime! Forms and tan.

If you just barely simmer the skull plate for a couple hours everything comes off clean and the bone is white. I have never had a problem with the skull falling apart but I leave a little more plate than he did. If you boil the sh*t out if it if course it will fall apart

What do you use for the mold

Thanks! Saving this video & will refer back to repeatedly. Repetetion is the Mother of Learning. Thanks again

Thank you! This helped a lot!
