If large animals are to be mounted we will need in addition some iron working tools, such as

Set of taps and dies 1/4 to 1 in.
Monkey wrench
Hack saw
Tanner's knives, 1 or more

A combination vise and anvil will be needed in any case as well as some miscellaneous tools:

Fur comb, coarse and fine
combined Paint, wax, and varnish brushes
Foot rule
Tape measure
Putty knife
Pointing trowel
Skin scraper

and some stuffing and modelling tools which you can make yourself. The list of materials seems like a long one, but many are inexpensive and others are used only in some small amounts, so the aggregate cost is small.
