My plan is to set up a table and do the cuts on the legs and remove the paws at the ankle. I'll finish the paws once it's all skinned. While it's on the table, I'm going to skin the head so I don't screw up the lips. It might be a good idea to do the eyes at the same time but I don't know. Once that is done it's on the hoist to do the skinning. After fleshing I'll turn lips/eyes, ears and paws then it's into the wash. After turning fur out on the board, borax the paws and stuff newspaper in to shape.
Is there a better way to do things or a different sequence that would make things easier? I appreciate any and all advice.

Dave I had decent success strapping a squirrel board to the end of my fleshing beam to skin the ears out.
