Anyone got plans/pictures of a home made beaver skinning trough ? Looking to throw one together with some scrap lumber, unsure on size and angles, etc. . -Thanks

Here's a picture of mine made out of scrap 1X4's. About a 45 degree angle to the slot boards and 20 inch lenght.

Thanks. Would also like to see plans with legs that somehow fold up if possible?

Just buy a set of folding table legs at Harbor Freight

I try a flat table with a few bungee cords before fooling around with a trough.

X2 ^^^^^ I've done better skinning beaver on a old kitchen table that I raised up with some blocks and a tarp strap on each end to hook to the legs , then when done skinning you can stretch the pelt right there as well.

Flat table space with a wall-mount cable. Screw the cable to the wall, at the other end attach a large meat hook (or a bent nail), that way you can bury the hook in the meat when skinning the legs or tail area and pull against it to get tension. Was major improvement for my methods.

If you haven't used a trough you should try it. Lots of guys really like it. I make them from steel, but the wooden ones work good too.

Mine are 20" long, swiveling, and double as an opening bench for coons as well.

Me wants that attachment.

Me wants that attachment.

I bought one of Charles Dobbins books or DVDs on trapping beaver and learned from that and made my own. I love how well it works.

I built mine on top of a swiveling barstool and love not having to walk around to the other side to complete the skinning. Did the same with the put-up table so I stand in one spot and rotate the pelt as I nail.

ADC got everything!

Now this is a great idea!

May attach mine to a boat seat swivel.

Sniper that can be arranged.
