You are awesome!!! Thanks so much for documenting the process! I'm in New Zealand, with a couple of beasts about to be killed, wanting to get a handle on wether I can tan the hides or not. Wow. So helpful. Thanks sister! ☺️👏🏾💐

I notice a day went by, did it sit in the tub overnight? What did you do with it after scraping and before wash?

You can wash it immediately after fleshing. The delay was just chance due to circumstances :) You can fold it up when you're done fleshing if you can't wash immediately so the edges don't get crispy. The sooner the better, but sometimes I'll wait till the next day if it's getting late, cold, windy, etc.

Most of the steps are one to two days. Soaking in the mineral solution varies depending on the thickness of your hide, but usually two weeks or less. Drying on the frame again depends on thickness, but usually a couple days.

This seems like a really fun hobby. My nephew runs an animal processing company. Steers, cattle. Would be interesting to Tan up a dozen Hides and sell them. 🤔

Can I freeze it as soon as it comes off so I can go buy a scraping blade

If I have 3 hides in one day can I refrigerate them so I can do them over the course of a few days?

You can put them in the freezer,cover them in pounds. Of salt and hang them and wait a while, basically a million ways to delay them

After scraping, if you are mineral tanning, you apply the alum and put it in the salt bath for about two weeks. I go into more detail on that in some of my other videos. But you can cut a cross section to ensure the mineral has been absorbed throughout the hide.

@@theseareafewofmyfavoriteth2771 I think I'm mineral tanning it. Do I do the salt bath when I'm trying to soft tan it. Like to put it on the back of my couch? And what are you talking about salt bath for 2 weeks are you saying soaking it in water with lots of salt. I salt tanned a lot of deer hides but they are just stiff afterwards

@@johnproctor2924 if you're applying alum and soaking it, you'll want salt in the water. If you are planning to soften the hide you might want to skip the alum and salt. To get a cowhide soft I find dry scraping it to thin the skin helps. Then apply brain or the egg mixture I describe in a different video, then frame and soften. Good luck!
