Here is a short video about preserving skins for tanning. I demonstrate salting and talk about other options. There is so much more to say, but this is a good quick start guide anyway.

Quality Hide Glue From Scratch, #6, Part 1, Cooking the Glue
I missed a Saturday video on youtube, but hopefully I'm back on track now. This Saturday's video is Installment 6 in the hide glue series that I started last year. I had to divide this one into two videos since it was getting really long and I'm still finishing up. It may not make sense to people to have two parts in one installment, but cooking, pouring, cutting and drying are really sort of all the same step to me since they have to happen in a short space of time. Part 2 should be out within a week. The glue is looking great if I do say. This batch will be for sale in the webstore starting tomorrow when it will be dry enough to package.
