Bill M welcome

Nice 👌

[@josephbillings1906]

I'm mounting a partridge and a wood duck this winter and I was wondering if it is easier for your first bird to be standing or flying?

[@ArtofTaxidermy]

I would never recommend any waterfowl for to start,, they will disappoint you. Partridge is better, or even if you can get your hands on a pheasant that would be even better. Standing is better to start.

your work is amazing. i just subscribed! What kind of dryer or blower do you use please? thanks

[@ArtofTaxidermy]

frenchustube thanks. I use mostly pet dryer.

Your videos helped me a lot with my taxidermy process! Might I ask how you painted the feet? I managed the beak but the feet are giving me a little bit of trouble to get right.

[@ArtofTaxidermy]

I’m glad you are finding the clips helpful. I use to use a lot of airbrush and while airbrush is still one of the best but I have changed most of my painting to light brush and panpastel. I have filmed a couple of examples. I make sure to edit them and upload.

Amazing as always! Can I ask what glue you are using when tucking the face skin into the cast head? Thank you!

[@ArtofTaxidermy]

Hi Ashleigh. Gorilla brand super glue.

Great work as always...May I ask what gauge wire you used for the legs and wings? The wire looks black in colour..is it annealed not galvanised? Thanks for your help.

[@ArtofTaxidermy]

Sorry I’m going to have to look that up since I don’t know for sure ... I don’t work with gauge numbers when choosing my wires, I have to feel and see them to decide if they can be used for my mount. But I ll let you know. Will get back to you.

@@ArtofTaxidermy Thank you so much for replying..I Hope its not too much trouble for you looking this information up.

[@ArtofTaxidermy]

@@andystott9826 here we go.. I looked them up Im using Gauge 12 for wings. and gauge 9 for the neck and legs. hope this helps... Im planning to mention my wire gauges in my videos in the future.

@@ArtofTaxidermy Thank you so much for answering my question. I look forward to you're next video. They have helped me so much. I'm hoping you'll mount the black duck soon. It was such an informative video of skinning and wire wheeling. 👍🏻

[@ArtofTaxidermy]

@@andystott9826 No problem Andy.. Im glad it helped.. the wire I use is never galvanized, they are too hard to bend and have a springiness to them... I always use anealed wire and if I couldnt find the right gauge I get galvanized but burn it before I use it, ( i have a video in this regard under tips playlist).. the black duck is mounted and is drying.. I will get to it for editing and uploading, in due time.
