okay so we have our nice flesh tied here we're gonna take that over here now we're gonna put it in here this is a mixture of wood ashes and wine mixed two parts with ashes one part lime and about three gallons of water I'll go time here about this is to get it underneath the UM the water so I have a couple rocks here a lot of them are a couple big ones he put some air in it so if you don't have them if you don't have enough we're gonna get it exposed to air and then a little rock so we'll leave it in here so you have a total submerge now we'll leave it in here for a day take the rocks off mix it around put it back until the hair starts pulling off the hide and then we'll go on to the next step okay so here we are at state three have mix it a couple times i mix it again and check the hair and see we got he's a hair pull see nothing yet a little bit a little bit but not it'll get to where you can really just pull it right off real easy so we're gonna give it a few more days we'll keep mixing it every couple days and come back and keep testing it okay now we have the skin where it's been soaking for five days that's starting to pull out we could say see you start to pull out I'm gonna use this fleshy knife I'm just gonna keep pushing it back like that see how it peels up I'm just doing one hand now I'm gonna do the whole hide like that you don't want to get the blade this way too much cuz it'll cut it into the hide you kind of keep it pushed back and it'll kind of push the hair out of there so that's what we do next you okay so here we go we have the hair off the hide and now it's gonna get rinsed and then put into a salt brine solution a half pound of salt for a gallon of water for six to eight hours and then we'll rinse that out so it'll be a rinse the salt brine six to eight hours and then rinse it out one of the things I want to show you real quick is that when you get down to the edge you'll have some hair left like this and it's a lot easier just to pull it out with your hands than it is to try to to get with the flesh and I can keep dragging the flesh a knife over the edge because you'll rip risk digging into the hide and leaving marks and blemishes so you could just do that little edge with your hands and it comes out fine and then here we go this is the rinse tide all done now to go in the that brine we talked about earlier
