I got a table just about the same. Sure does save time doesn't it?
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

It was a thrift store table that I bought with a single bottom support post. I sawed the post off and put a swivel brace on it from a bar stool and then bolted that to the underside of the table.
Did the same thing with my skinning trough.
It means I can both skin and put up beaver without having to move around a table or trough.

WTG trapset , your a head of me this cold weather is killing my line , signal digits tonight , think I'm at 16 , would like to get to 50 , firday its going to warm up ,but we need rain to get them moving , You’ll pass me for sure TD. I’m heading out to skin a couple then gotta work a few hours then pulling, today’s the last day of season. Should end up with 30ish. I have a dozen or so to add to them from the fall. That’s funny peeler, I was just looking at my boarding set up and wondering if I could rig it for swivel skinning as well. I’ll have to give it a go next year.

Got 5 more today and pulled everything. At my last set yesterday I was pretty much out of Backbreaker. I put a little river water in my jar and shook it up to get all the dregs. I dumped the works on the bank above the trap. Boom, last Beaver on the last of the Backbreaker, 50 pounder. LOL!

Pulled my gear yesterday and ended up with five more beaver. Ten total out of this area here in northeast Michigan in about ten days, not bad for not having any sign around. Gotta love spring beaver trapping, all there moving around and traveling gets them into trouble. Had a couple otter come through and pooped on one of my castor mounds to show me who's boss around here.. As usual had a great time in the woods with my dad anyway and didn't get any ticks on us this year which is a bonus. Jim how long are those stakes?
