Instigator and Catchdog, Thank you for offering up your time and services I guess the next thing that needs to be decided is how you want to make them, and what materials are needed. If it can be put to use I have plenty of 1-1/2 OD Sc 40 pipe, and plenty of 2-3/8 OD drill stem and Sc 40 pipe. When we get to the point that y'all are ready to weld, I will get Praxair to provide the welding supplies, I will just need to know what rods or wire are needed. Do y'all have anything in mind? Jay, I have heard that you come up with stuff in your dreams, so maybe you can get some sleep then get back with us!  |

Realdogs, I figured you would have something to say about QA/QC maybe a fitter, fitters helper, some safety dudes. etc. Any OSHA requirements that you can help with too Y'all just let me know what rods / wire you need. I will do what I can to make it worth your while.  |

If you want to use pipe we can build an A frame with three sets of legs something like a swing set and mount caster wheels on the bottons so thst it can be moved with hogs hanging proballty hang 4 hogs from eack one mount pulleys up top two in each section and mount a boat winch to the A fram legs as far as rods 1/8 5P+ works for me.

Jay,
I just got 150# of rod donated. Just tell me what you need. I mentioned 1/8 6011 5P+ They said that is fine, I can pick it up Friday. If you would prefer another type of rod, or wire let me know. If you need more, let me know too.

i know its a good tech. Brute, but remember we peeling all clothes off, not the pants ..... ,thats the whole hide in a timed event.I'll take my chances on hanging one though. Marty.Head up is quicker for me and i peel the whole thing and then come back for shoulders,straps,and hams Realdogs 10-4 on that Scott. Skin comes off first, then everything else. Sounds like you and I do it the same. It'd be fun to have a skinning contest to see how fast each technique is. |

Depending on where yall want to put it together I would be happy to lend some time. I am a darn good welders' helper (been doing it all my life). I am skilled in the tape measure, chop saw/ torch/ ban saw, and the "don't move while I tack this". Once there is a design, I (maybe Chris) can be cutting and fitting and others (Catchdog since he is a welder) can be tacking and welding... assembly line style. Going with the A-frame theory... You could weld 2 7/8s stubs coming off your main beam, which could also be 2 7/8s (for easy saddling and it probably wouldn't hurt if you are going to hang 6 hogs at a time) with at what ever angle you want and then cut 2 3/8s legs to slide up in the stubs with a set screw (bolt) on the stub to lock in the leg. YOu could do 8 legs, 6 with winches. THat would let you hang 6 hogs and each hog would have about 5' of working space if you used a 30' joint. YOu could also break down the main beam into more managable pieces by doing the same thing. Just cut the main beam where need be, weld a shot 2 3/8 piece into one end, drill holes in the other and it will slide to the inside and you can pin it or use set screw (bolt),,, like a tent. It could be designed to break down and go on a flat bed trailer. Your longest pieces will be the legs and they won't go over 16'. Have pulleys on the winch cables with clasps that latch to eyes welded on the main beam. WHen you break it down the cable and clasp will go witht he leg. We do alot of deer blinds, feeders, and tripods like that for people so that you can move them around. |

The thing about the A-frame idea is that's going to take up ALOT of room in the washracks. If you could rig something that could bolt or clamp to the exsisting cinder block wall (one on the arena side) It would free up space. Another thing about a rail is you could have 10+ hogs being worked down the line instead of just six. The A-frame would be great for the skinning contest though.

i don't want to interrupt what sounds like some great solutions to solve the problems of skinning and cleaning the hogs, I did want to put one thing out there though; If you are planning on having a skinning contest, you may want to think about covering some holes in that. Here's what I mean, you get a bunch of guys together trying to one up each other skinning hogs(especially if this lasts a while) and someone gets over-anxious and silly with a knife. they slice themselves pretty good and have to take a trip to the emergency room. Or worse yet, they get an infection of whatever sort from being cut with a hog bloody knife(rare but it can happen folks). I would hate to see the contest have an incident like that, or even worse be open to some kind of legal action(for putting the skinning contest on, or because it happened on their premises). I guess what I'm saying is if you're going to have guys going a mile a minute skinning hogs, you might want to consider waivers to be signed, safety gloves, and properly sharpened knives at all times(dull knives can cause you to apply more pressure, resulting in a slip of the hand). Like I said, good idea but you better cover the holes in it. just a thought... ya'll can go back to the building stuff now, heck i feel like i'm learning a little something.  |

Sean,
Good points.
Agreed, very good points and should probably be addressed if a skinning contest is going to be had. For that matter it may be a good idea even for volunteers. |

That is a good idea. It would take away from some confusion also. The more stuff that is out for every one to see the better.
