23 years.......... #8406682 05/20/25 08:11 PM 05/20/25 08:11 PM

I did some cleaning in the garage today and used a putty knife to take 23 years worth of crusty dried blood and beaver fat off that bench. Needless to say, it doesn't look like it did when I put it in. I have nothing clever to put here.

mississippiposse trapper M Joined: Dec 2006 Missouri	160 user I’m doing the same thing. My skinning machine I had to cut into to get out of skinning shed.had so much grease in it Gave son in law motor also had so much pressure from skinning Putting up and shipping to NAFA. ( got lucky did not get burnt) I’m giving stuff to kids and proud to give trapping programs at schools and parents told me about how there little kids trapped. In mid 80s a fur buyer and I talked about how ADC was the future. Did enough of that with the job. More power to ADC . Happy when I sell it or give it away it won’t be with China directions. Simple USA modifications
