Beaver Hunting! (Catch and clean) Making Beaver Tail Wallet

[@chrisweathington5042]

Man I always liked leather work. My grandfather used to work at a leather company making all kind of stuff. He worked in Yoakum Texas. Take care stay safe and God bless.

[@MuskratOutdoors]

The fat on a beaver tail is really tough. I don't think it is fat, so much as gristle. I shave off what I can with a sharp knife. Instead of salting them, throw them in a 5 gallon bucket with lime water. The lime will loosen the scales in about a week or two. They have to come off. Once you scrape off the shales the tail will be snow white and ready for your tanning chemicals. The finished tail should be brown, sort of soft, and super tough! Yours turned out nice. Your friend has a great shop. I have been doing leatherwork and building saddles for about the same amount of time, but I sure don't have the tools he has. The clicker machine (cookie cutter press) alone would save a huge amount of time!

Guys like him are a dying breed. I’m in DFW area and after seeing this will for sure be paying him a visit 👍

[@lachlanreyburn906]

No wonder not many beavers are left now . don't like this wanker.

[@rwilson208]

He is a true artisan at work. He has managed to keep a part of American ingenuity alive. This man is a dying breed. I am really impressed. I would love t5o see other works that he has created. You are blessed to be able to know folks like him who can show you a dying art form. I would appreciate this more than any store-bought item made by factories. Thanks for sharing.

[@dylanharris6911]

After you flesh it and salt it try using Dixon hide tanning solution, you order it online and it works well. It's all I've used for tanning hides since I was 19 and became interested in trapping

[@gachakeaoshi384]

Thank you Mullet Man and all your friends. You gave me a way to get my daughter interested in hunting and fishing. She says you look like you have so much fun. She's young still but interest is all I need.

[@nikkirichards4952]

That was so cool watching him make that and all the steps n lil gadgets, not many craftsman of any kind left these days, which is such a loss to our history and how it all started... technically is taking over it all... thx for sharing that with us..

[@20807shane]

Just had some leather work done. Neat to see the process’s. It’s pretty addictive to have quality leather products.

[@bmw370]

I just started making leather wallets at home! Buddy and I decided to learn it with all this crazy shit happening. Might ask well learn something while staying at home. I am definitely going to be making a couple of these Beaver tail wallets!

[@douglaskampfer2028]

After fleshing, you need to place the tail in a wood ash bath and soak. What you want to do is remove the black scale, and tan up just the leather. Once the scalecan be removed then place in the tanning agents, once tanned you will dye the leather black to make the wallets.

[@TheGmess1982]

Nothing goes together like beavers and dollars! 😂 But seriously, thats is awesome work that man did and made it look easy!

[@michaelmeehan9556]

I have always admired excellent leather work. Besides that, the leather smells amazing. Thank you for sharing!

[@LiLJESS.]

[@davidguinn6472]

Hey bud use 20 mule borax in laundry area at Walmart great for skinning and preserve

[@cassfiester9184]

Man I get rid of bever for people alot didn't think about a wallet .thanks

[@codyhall8964]

That’s awesome. That guy should do a KZbin! Leather work is fascinating.

[@noahwilliams7902]

That was cool but you need to do a team roping video

[@matthovater150]

That’s the style wallet I carry except I look for the one with clear plastic to put your I.d. in so I don’t always have to take it out when I need it. It’s becoming a pain to find them at local stores.

[@RV_Chef_Life]

Dude I'd love to work in a leather shop! Loving the videos on making stuff Mike!

[@lemonpie6690]

Where's the skinning video at?

[@topher208regulator]

Yes sir !! Eat good !

[@David35445]

As a leather worker I can really appreciate the quality work that went into that project. Time to dump a few beavers. BTW, did the tail soften any at all or was it more like raw hide?

[@michaelbartley9572]

They stay pretty stiff using salt. Maybe if you apply a lot of neatsfoot or mink but I'd tan it with some berch bark. Turn it into veg tan.

[@chrisvaliaveedan4779]

Great vid

[@fishermancram6035]

mannnnnn, that sure is a badass wallet!!! now i'm thinkin i need to hunt a beaver and get a new wallet!!!

Love my beaver tail wallet!

[@SYEDENAM100]

I thought you meant the other kind of beaver hunting, still a great video

[@clementadelmann2655]

lmao

[@michaelbartley9572]

If you tan that beaver in berch bark instead of salt it will come out plyable and last much longer.

[@notingham211]

This made me want to become a person that works with leather , deadass

[@michaelbartley9572]

I been doing it for awhile. You can do everything by hand and don't need all the fancy equipment he's using. In fact hand stitched or saddle stitched lasts much longer. Amazon has beginner's kits. I make holsters,wallets,belts,zippo cases,etc. Watch corter leather videos to learn your basics then move on to tooling. You can buy patterns from corter among tiger places till you learn. It's a blast,creating something only a handful can make.

[@lynnstanton7018]

Theres a tanning salt u can order that is better

[@joelblair8339]

You should use a pressure washer next time it should get most of the fat off
