Brisket Trimming Pictoral?

[Hoss]

I have been looking hard for a pictoral on how to trim a Beef Brisket.  I have never had any dealings with one.  I bought one this morning, and I don't want to screw it up.  Does anyone ever recall seeing one anywhere with pictures?

I think in one of Pachanga's post are some of his thoughts on trimming a brisket.

Just don't take off too much.

Better to have too much fat cap than not enough.

Hoss,

Here are my methods.  I don't trim much.  Fat equals flavor and moisture for self mopping.  Use trimmings for self basting in the shelf above the brisket.

The first post is written tips on  trimming within a recipe.
The second post is photos, some of which are about trimming and feeding bird dogs.
