Peat moss i ways bought at lowes or menards...and I bought it in early summer and dried it out thoroughly before season started it took a long time in my garage to dry it out. One bale is really compressed and it would fill two 30 gallon black plastic trash cans easily. For your beam maybe make a freestanding sturdy bench to mount that to, or mount it to the wall.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

Can pick up two heavy duty hinges. Mount one to the end of the beam and the other about 2/3's up towards the tapered end, then you can mount a 2x4 to that and mount the wide end to a wall. You will have to put another 2x4 between the studs. Cut the front 2x4 to length after you find the height you want to work at. The front 2x4 will be at an angle towards the wall and will brace against the wall where your base board is.

Mount a heavy duty hinge to your bench. Then If you have a saw horse just place It under your beam. And move It back and forth till you get the right angle. If you want to move your beam just remove the pin In you hinge and move the beam.

They do make a heavy steel mount that you can anchor to a concrete floor. Can't remember who makes it though...
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

If you want to attach something to concrete and be removable, use Tapcon style screws or drop-in anchors. You can drill the pilot holes for Tapcons with a regular drill; the anchors go better with a hammer drill. With modern products, attaching to concrete is easier than most people think. Just follow the product instructions and clean the holes out.

My set-up is the fleshing beam is mounted to 4'x4' piece of plywood with a large hinge. This lets me stand on plywood with beam on my stomach ( i also have 2" foam pad sewn into my apron for comfort) or can reverse with top of beam against wall in a notched 2x4 mounted on wall. I use both fleshing styles depending on what i'm fleshing
Till that day.....
