Anyone ever made prosciutto?

I love it and have always been curious about doing it myself. Any suggestions?

    @fishlessman and @JustineCaseyFeldown both took an online class on this.  They'll pass on good advice.

    You combine the ham from a superior pig, salt, the last scene from "Casino", a mont of it taking up uour whole, careful climate control, a regular game of "sniff my finger" using a horse bone and an insane amount of time and there you go. 

    A few of us got one started yesterday.  A longer post on "Charcutapalooza" to follow, (or, as it seems today "A$$whipapalooza").
