Blake, you asked for a video on how I set my guards and blade. This seems to work for me.

Our trubond 1000B paint on tan, beaver experiment is finished up.

Overall, this is a solid tan and easy to use. I do think it's a little more dense and has less stretch and plush feel than my normal process. I dont think it would have been as forgiving had I left this beaver a little thicker.

Although the leather characteristics are a function of the tanning agent, good results are primarily driven through a good understanding of the process, and being able to adapt the process to the skin itself.

Slowed her down to 15 RPM, have options for swapping pulleys if needed. Just waiting on my order of media to arrive. Have a batch of beavers staked and ready for polishing...

Fleshing skins in the heat set you up perfectly for bacteria growth and hair slippage!

Shop update

1: green skins after this point will be pushed off until cooler weather, space is limited, expect longer times on those.

2: turnaround times seem to remain on track with the 4-6 months quoted turnaround times at time of drop off.

3: Tumbler should be in service soon, waiting on a shipment of media.

4: still running some experiments, and answering your questions. Have questions submit them, I'll answer what I can.

Some new territory for me here, I am excited to see how this integrates into my process. What do you guys think, will it increase my quality, or just make my process more efficient?
