Hello all.

Can I ask what is your preferred skinning table setup for things you want to eat?

I am looking for something I can possibly lay on top of a work bench for skinning beavers, rats..... animals I want to keep Clean.

Does anyone have a stainless-steel table top type setup? What do you use? Thanks.

Check for restaurant auctions in your area if you want stainless.

I would see if a local welding shop can get you a sheet of stainless steel and have it bent to fit over your bench top.

a 4' piece of laminate counter top is really cheap at Menards or other home stores. You can just screw it to your bench and remove it to keep it clean when you're needing your bench for other stuff.

What ADC said.
They also make a sheet laminate. It's 4 X 8 and is white I don't know what It's called.

I use a old kitchen table that had a center pedestal for its legs. I removed the table top and mounted a boat seat swivel to the pedestal. Reattached the table top it’s nice for boarding beaver but is a little to low if not seated.

Im kind of partial to a fifty gallon plastic barrel myself . They just work right They are the perfect working height easy to step around . The skin hangs out of the way

I am a taller guy, so I like a very high skinning table height.
