Skirting Fibre (for the sort-a-thon)

After our visit to Shears To You Fibre Pros we have decided that we know hopefully enough about skirting the fleeces to enter the Alpaca Ontario Sort-a-Thon.  This event is a first ever for AO, and the premise is that anyone with fleeces to sell should send theirs in.  Sorters will sort and grade the fleeces, and they will be sold.
We'll tackle 2 or more of the 11 that we have each night after work.  We're going to do it at the kennel - cement floors and enough space to work around the skirting table.
This table (and another like it) was built by US!  We built it based on the tables we saw at Shears To You - basically 2x4's and 14 ga. wire.
The Sort-a-Thon is this weekend coming, so it's a bit hectic trying to get ready.
