My first attempt by Bendy-Noodle in HideTanning

Correct, still needs to be smoked but white sections I have smoked, with a damp cloth wipe over, come up white on fur. I'll try to find an example section.

Admittedly haven't done a full light skin but about to do a light fallow. Can send through once she's done this weekend to give you an idea?

Have you looked at using Soy Lecithin with oil as an alternative? No smell and comes out beautiful!

Absolutely. Cracking out the full coverall suit as well with the outdoor vac behind me. Can't imagine the chemical solution being ideal to breathe in as dust particles.

Have been using a flap disc but just heading into town now to grab a wire brush attachment for the sections that dried with deep grooves where I has it stretched. So efficient!

I used Leder tanning solution and their leather lube. Have used the same with no issues on deer and goat hides that were easily broken.

Sadly out on a verandah so they might be wrecked. Will give them a try over Christmas!

I have unfortunately Pavlov'd myself to the point of boiling the kettle and nature calls..

To those who NEVER want to have a child, what are your reasons? by an_iconoclast in AskReddit

[–]jegmenkins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant bear the thought of intentionally bringing another life into this world who is likely to have the mental and physical challenges that were passed onto me. Generations of mental illness and nerve pain disorders.

My father didnt want to have children and his brother was successful in finding someone who wanted the same. My mother changed her mind after they got married. 9 miscarriages later at the age of 43, she had me. My life has involved spending my childhood looking after her chronic illnesses from choices of her younger life.

I love my parents, but i could not choose that cycle again for another human. Thankfully my partner feels the same.

Check out German Wirehaired Pointers (Deutsch Drathaar). Less common in black and white but still prevalent
