Nice. I am still unsure as to what a fur drum is for or why you would need it.. Lol A fur drum basically will clean and separate each individual hair. It will fluff a muskrat up so it will have a hard time fitting in a one gallon freezer bag. This one i made is a combination unit as a Fur Drum, Shaker Drum, and Dryer.   |

Many are using old clothes Dryers that the heating element has burned out or just disconnect it if it still works.
Warning: Do not use your better half's dryer to try this!!
You can change the cord to 110 volt for the drum motor by eliminating all the other wire connections and heating elements.
Seal up all the holes inside the drum with duck tape real good.
Add your media and your in business.
Keep a eye on the dust build up by the drum motor.
You can use saw dust, Corn cob grit, nut shells. Hard ware stores and grain feed stores have the corn cob grit bedding for animals. I add some 20 Mule Team Borax (dry powder laundry detergent) 1/2-1 cup to take out the blood stains in the fur.
Old dryers are easy to find and cheap to set up.
Makes your muddy coon look like mothers fur coat in 10 minutes.
