When fleshing, connective tissue and meat residue are removed from the flesh side of the skin. In the past, special tools were used by the tanner. Nowadays this stage is done with rotating scraping rolls.

If you want to remove the skin of an animal yourself, you have to work carefully. Especially if you want to get a complete hide with head, limbs and tail. Without expert advice, it's unlikely that you will get ears, nose or tail undamaged during the first attempt.
