Does anyone use/have a straight up and down vertical fleshing beam Setup? How does it work? Any pictures or ideas on how to do one?

I was hoping to do something universal for all species and then the grizzle on back of coons necks I’d do on a slanted beam

The Blue English system is used by some. A friend likes to use it. I don't find it suits me.

There was quite a bit of talking up the Blue English System 40+ years ago but it pretty much faded away as a lot of flash-in-the-pan things do in trapping.

Blue English has not been around for 40 years. Tom and I grew up together trapping. Due to present circumstances in his life, anyone wanting this system will need to buy it used. I don't believe it will ever be available new again. That is all I care to say about this.

All of my fur handlers have been provided this system for my fur put up over the years. They love them. Great system.
