Anyone want to invest in a revolutionary new fleshing machine? John Seabrook of Manitoulin Island in Canada has developed a device that makes fleshing pelts quicker, easier, and much less painful on the back! Here’s more:
MANITOULIN—John Seabrook unveiled his fleshing device last weekend at a Manitoulin Trappers’ Association workshop in front of a large crowd of eager Island trappers.
The device features a built in chair and interchangeable forms for cleaning different types and parts of animals, making the task of fleshing animal hides easier for seasoned trappers and newbies alike.
The new invention could prove fruitful for a willing investor.
“The two big benefits of this machine are sitting and having it right in front of you so you can see what you’re doing,” continued Mr. Seabrook. “I was going to patent it until I found out it costs $7,500 just to talk to a guy and then another $100,000 by the time you are done (filing for the patent). I would like if someone more business minded than me approached me at making these, because I don’t really want to, but they are great and I could see them helping a lot of trappers. I wouldn’t even trap if I didn’t have one.
