Someone to show me how to properly skin and preserve animal fur

Category: DIY

Hi I often find road kill and I want to learn how to preserve the fur so I can make stuff with it. I have skinned a few foxes and a hare but after drying it with salt I don't know what to do !! All the animals I will use would be road kill and I would love so much if someone could help me with this !! I can give you sprouts or some fermented foods in return or do a yoga consultation ! Or help you with drawing , or show you how to juggle or hula hoop!!

Empty gas cylinder

Category: DIY

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for an empty gas cylinder. Similar to the one in the picture. A smaller one would do too but a big one would be best. If you have one or know where there is one lying about I'd be very grateful to hear from you.

In return I'd be happy to sweep your chimney or offer computer help or do an odd job you might need doing

Woodworking tools

Category: DIY

I'm starting a furniture making and design woodworking course out in Letterfrack, Connemara in the West of Ireland, and I need a bunch of woodworking hand tools such as chisels, planes, hand saws, etc, so I anybody has some of these laying around the garage or basement, collecting dust, they would be very much appreciated. If they're a bit rusty or bit up that should be fine, I should be able to sharpen and fix them up, unless they're really gone.

I'm exchange, I'll try to learn and make you something cool out of wood :)

Thanks,
Steve
