Great educational vid helps a lot.

Great information and video.

Work smarter not harder Mr Gibb, thanks for the video!

Good tips. I picked up a little bluetooth radio so I can listen to podcasts from my phone while I work in the fur shed. Sure makes the time more enjoyable.

I like your beaver table set up

Great video Jim. Any little tip to improve your fur and understand the grading is important to the trapper and the animal!!

Some real good advice there , Thanks

Nice work. Another nail I use is shorter, really sharp sheetrock nails, quite thin. My wife used to drink French coffee, small rectangular cans, so I put nails from each beaver in individual cans after I pull them with the measurement marked on each can. Toby saw that and of course gave a big Toby laugh, but the cans make it easy. It usually takes almost exactly the same amount of nails for each size so it saves either dumping way too few or way too many. With ADC beaver work I usually give the beaver away, but like to put a few every year just because. Those sure are heavy beaver you have. Still like putting them up, a few, but not hundreds any more.

I found box nails online last year. Your beaver have nice colored fur. Ours are quite pale on the plains.

Good demo. Keep fur off of brush use it for land trapping.

Thanks for sharing Jim. I like the tip for using the beaver to funnel the nails into the coffee tin.I picked up a floor magnet this summer. I was tired of picking up nails and pins.

Thank you for the videos, really helps us new trappers, subscribed!

Awesome work!

Nice video mr. gibb. Just a heads-up, ive found a nice supply of 2” box nails at princess auto in the surplus section recently.

Great stuff, I just subscribed

Really a great video, you make it very simple , only I would love to be able to read the plans for you table, can't figure out how the corners fold in on the long side. do see the hinges but how the long end can pivot? Do you have a better pic? Thanks so much for the video. 👍👍👍👍

e-mail me at j.a.gibb@live.com and I will send you a template on how to build the table.

What thickness boards do you prefer and what do you use instead of a sharpie to make your pattern? Great video.

3/4 Plywood and pencil crayons

In addition to using 'Box" nails, use a "Waffle Head" hammer. And you will never hit your finger due to the greasy surfaces on nails and hammer.

the one on the wall looks too tightly stretched or got too much heat other then that great work

Great video Jim. Good tips. Question: If freezing is not an option and if the pelts are not going to FHA for a couple months or more, how would one store the pelts knowing they may sweat? Newspaper in between? Thanks.

I like to stack them fur to fur / skin to skin, and place a beaver board on top, will use my freezer lid as a table. you can also store in a fur bag, in a cool spot.

@@gibbsadventures12 OK just leery about stacking in my garage as partially heated and I know I have to check them periodically to wipe up a bit of sweating. Maybe freeze outside as wont get a pickup by FHA until January.

When you say you have to raise the pelt off the board some when wet and your nailing them down, do you mean when the fur side is wet?

@gibbsadventures12

yes, sometimes the fur is wet and it needs to be lifted an inch up otherwise I only lift them at the legs.

Little slack on the nails!

Most folks go overbroad with the nails, just enough to maintain the oval pattern. Too many nails cost you a lot of time.
