Who was it puts shavings on the floor is that ADC? To me that would save a ton of cleanup and also create a great place to loose tiny cap screws and thin cotter pins!

Looks like your set up. You got a skinning gambrel in the shed? No gambrel yet, I haven't found one that I want to use.

That is the nicest looking floor I've ever seen in a fur shed!
Also nice that you learned some carpentry skills in the building process. That will come in handy when you build your next, much bigger one someday. It was originally a small shed for me to hang out in but I have no interest in sleeping away from the house now so I had to do something with it. Also built a chicken coop this year so I've had my fair share of projects.

WTG first man land.
I'm not being a butt head, I bet if you visit your local fire house
they will stop over and red tag,, lol er offer suggestions to make it safer.
Because it worked good last time means nothing.
There is a lot of room for improving that stove set up.
Ya did good. I know that it means nothing but the little amount of room in there to move it any further away and I only have 110v running out to it.

You can always add on to it so don’t sweat it now just have any place to work is a great start.

Agreed as above. Great job on the shed but the heat system is touchy. Plenty of ventilation I hope.
Have you considered cutting styrofoam insulation pieces for between your studs and then a plug in milk house heater type source?
At that size it should be plenty of safe heat.
Processing furs no matter the valu is not worth dying over.
Osky Ventilation is good, It's so small with that stove in it that If I did insulate it, it would be way too hot for anyone to stay in it for any length of time. I barely run the stove once it gets hot enough.

Nice work, I like it. I built my first shed when I was 15. Looking back on it, I think it turned out well all things consideredl. Working in the shed is one of my favorite things to do, especially when I’m working on fur on a cold winter night, with the wood stove running. Trust me when I say your floor won’t look spotless for long lol! I know it won't but I'll try my hardest to make it look spotless.

You can always add on to it so don’t sweat it now just have any place to work is a great start. If I enjoy fur handling, then an addition is definitely in the future. Hopefully, I can trap a few rats and put a few up this season, water is starting to drop quite a bit and it has me a little worried about next year's season.

When trapping starts to go good and you are putting up all that fur you are going to run yourself out of space. Stay organized. Put hooks in the ceiling to maximize every inch of space for your full stretchers. You got a good start. Good luck!! I only have 50 or so rat stretchers and a dozen mink boards so I'm not putting up anything too big. If it gets full, I'll just have to freeze them and bring them in on carcass. I still need to figure out a system for hanging stretchers but have been so busy with school this week.

If you have a local dump, talk to the guys that work there. If you need an electric heater They will see all kinds of stuff . most times they will save you one. I got a small chest freezer , some paint and some books to read , the last time I went to our dump, no cost. I am a bit of a scrounger. Old243 We aren't allowed to take stuff out of our dump and most of the time, it's closed because there's no one who wants to work it.
