    Thank you for your video as well as your knowledge as I'm sure it took many years of experience to get to where you are now. :) My boyfriend acquired a Bengal tiger full head and skin from his deceased Grandfather. His Grandfather had the head stuffed? The body is the skin so not mounted... I know my terminology is way off so forgive my ignorance. We are looking to sell it and don't know where to start with getting an appraisal, we believe it to be quite valuable because the animal is protected now so getting it now would be impossible (legally) and I see fake bengal tiger heads selling for 3 to 4 thousand dollars that look cheesy. Please contact us to discuss a few things or make a video about animals that aren't hunted today and a ballpark value. Thank you!

    I have a good suggestion for you, try wrapping your wood whool around a foam core. It will give you a better anchoring point when you run the wing wire into the body. Its just a thought.

    Can you still do this method if you’ve already put borax on the skull cap and it’s dried out or do you need to do this immediately after you cut the skull cap?

    No shipping cost? taxes? No overhead (electricity, water, phone, advertising, etc....) Nice video but I think a few things are missing. A good formula for price setting is explained in the old Breakthrough Business Manual IMO.

    Question, I mounted my deer with them in place from when I skimmed it. I salted, pickled and tanned the hide and mounted it. Will they crack the way I did it? Is that why you do it this way? Once everything is dry should I go over mine with Apoxie sculpt? Thanks.

    DONT DO THIS around the antlers, I barely started and it's burning the base of the antlers. Boiling it now and its peeling off. I could see torching any remaining bits. Looks like shaving everything off with a scalpel was how you avoided boiling.

    Good video and information but I feel you left out something VERY important. That is rent and insurance. I know a lot of guys say, "Well I'm working out of my house so there is not rent and my wife has a job with insurance." That business out of your house is taking up space and if your insurance company knows you are operating a business out of your home your homeowners insurance is going to go up to commercial rates...that's assuming they don't cancel you completely in which case you will be paying a lot more anyways. Anyone with a business without liability insurance today is not very smart.

    Hello! I'm 15 and I have been wanting to get into taxidermy for around 2-3 years. Recently I've started a job and I have enough money to get supplies to start and I decided that I want to make my own forms and mounts like you do instead of buying them. But I also have been looking for some professional advice on what to start with supplies wise. If you could give me some tips that would be well appreciated :)

    Good video, thanks, on Labor, every time I’m working in my shop a client comes in tells me what he wants they always tell me the story of when he killed the animal and then when they pick it up you usually hear the same story all over again. I charge that time as well.

    So at the end you have $355.50 years in the third account. Do you pay that entire amount to yourself? Or out of that are you paying yourself a smaller hourly rate and leaving some money in that account?

    • @americantaxidermycompany477
      @americantaxidermycompany477 Рік тому

      As far as tanning, I keep an account just for tanning. At the end of each day I transfer from my deposit account to the tannery account to cover the tannery bill. Example. I transfer $50 for each deer that comes in. Or whatever the amount would be. Tannery bill has the $$ ready to go.

    If you just barely simmer the skull plate for a couple hours everything comes off clean and the bone is white. I have never had a problem with the skull falling apart but I leave a little more plate than he did. If you boil the sh*t out if it if course it will fall apart

    • @americantaxidermycompany477
      @americantaxidermycompany477 Рік тому

      Takes me way too much time for that. I would be finished with the days skull caps by the time I even had my boiler set up and up to temp.
