    This worked unbelievably well-- and on my first try too. After putting on the egg yolks it started to smell pretty bad and I figured I had ruined it, but after abrading it and waiting a few days the smell went away. i gave it to my mom for a present and she absolutely adores it. Thank you!

    I did this with rabbit skins before. There's a catch not mentioned in the video: use the skin only when the animal is not near its shedding time, otherwise, the skin will shed all (or most of) its fur in the first months of use.

      The "hard" way just involves a couple more soaking steps and more materials, not much extra labour honestly. Produces a nicer leather too, but this is definitely way cheaper and quicker!

    Wow! That's awesome--I've tried brain tanning and also chemical tanning and haven't had much luck---I've had the most difficulty getting all the membrane off---any chance you sell the fleshing knife you made in the video? If so, do you ship to Canada? When you say to 'abrade' the sheepskin with a pumice or sandpaper, are you removing the dried on eggyolk, or are you just roughing the hide up? Also wondering if when the sheepkin is tanned, can it be washed in the washing machine when it gets dirty? Thanks! Very informative video.

    we noticed a foul smell after taking our sheepskins out of the salt alum solution. we are now at the egg drying stage and there is still a fairly foul smell. Will this go away after the stretch and boarding and sanding?....or have we somehow ruined our hides?

    • @rubygray7749
      @rubygray7749 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I just tanned my first sheepskins, which turned out perfect, but nothing like this. They did not smell at all, because I fleshed them properly, and washed them thoroughly before I started the pickling process.
      Leaving all the membranes on like this, it is going to rot and stink. It is going to be discoloured like these are. It is not going to absorb the oil into the hide. It is not going to stretch out properly.
      My skins are beautiful smooth, flat, creamy-white and smell great.

    • @CheckboxChallenges

      I'm sorry about that. It could be one of these reasons.
      1. evaporating - Fresh or wet hide must breathe.
      2. alkaline environment - Hides have to be acidic. Dont use detergent for a long time and be sure to rinse it out properly.
      3. sick or molting animal

      Water enough to keep the hide completely under water. The ratio of salt to alum is 2/1. The total amount for one sheepskin is approximately the content of a pepsi can. I've never tried soda. Good luck ;)

      Nope, tanning with something (alum, brain, fat, tannins, ...) is the most important step. Otherwise the skin will rot.

      If it's made with brains, the process is the same? Because to me 1 week with brains inside a close container will probably rot the hide.

      The fall of the wave causes an alkaline environment. Do not soak the hide in soap for too long. After washing rinse it thoroughly in clean water. Another reason is steaming. Fresh warm skin must cool down before wrapping.
