[TheForge] Pelt Stretching Frame

[Grant Marcoux]

Jerry:  Build one from a hoop made of cable to the diameter you want.  Use a
stiff section of cable and you can hot bend it to shape.  If you want to get
more elaborate, you can weld pass-thru rings to the inside diameter to
string the curing pelt to.  I have used these frames for deer, elk and moose
hides.  Grant

Any one have plans for a pelt stretcher? As that I
will have coyotes dispacthed this spring that I can
use the pelts from them, I want to build a strecthing
frame, I can make one from wood, but I thought one out
of steel maybe a little more durable.
