I have a dozen cedar Jobes decoys painted like oldsquaw by Brad Halloway of Point Pleasant NJ, show some wear as they have been gunned over. I no longer gun over them and have them set on a long line. I gun a bit differently now and for different species. These can easily be painted into other...

Boat looks good Nate, congratulations and good luck with it.

Might look into ordering some and making my own beetle colony. Boiling may be what I'll do to the one I plucked clean and is in Borax right now.

I'm in New Egypt. I picked one skull clean and have it in Borax but the others are just hanging out stinking up my garage. Beetles are probably my best bet, wouldn't mind starting a beetle colony if that makes sense and is possible. Thanks for the replies. Glad it didn't seem too far fetched...

Strange question maybe, but other forum searches came up that it's actually "a thing" I have some spoonbills from opening day and I really wanted to save the skull of a Drake I shot. My searches came up with "duck caping" where people skin the duck and tan the skin to retain color ect...

Thanks for sharing, I love hearing about all the cans and redheads that used to feed in the upper bay before the ICW canal was made. WAY before my time but still cool to know how it used to be and that it's such a historic and important piece of water.

Thanks Phil, that's what I was wondering. I'm looking for a saw now but there pretty pricey and I think I want to be able to do big blocks on it to simplify things.

ChuckJ, what size band saw is that? Looks like it doesn't take up too much space. I have been reading hours of threads on saws here the past few days cause I need to pick one up. What has me worried is buying a saw then having to track down a riser kit for it so I can cut up to 12" thick...

I like your shave horse Tom, looks like it works well. Awesome looking shop, thanks for sharing.

Funny Tom cause I was looking at your boat rebuild post and was admiring your shop. My space is a single car garage with an additional room attached to it which is a bar area. I was looking into a pole barn like yours to store my boats and do something like you have but I'm not sure I can swing...

Just picked up 2 old draw knives at an antique shop this weekend. Unfortunately I'm sick and won't be able to work on my shop. How do you guys vice your work piece? I was looking at commercially made decoy vices and people swear by them but I come from a metal shop background and have access...

Thanks Will, didn't think to look at the Tuckerton show, between that and a few flea markets I know of I would like to pick a few things up. Was going to make a shave horse but may just use a vice like Steve mentioned.

Matt, that's exactly what I was looking for, a small space like that converted to a shop! I appreciate it. Thank you for the list Steve, I have most of those things but would like to go to a few antique shop soon and start searching for a draw knife and spokeshave, I know I can order them...

Tried searching but couldn't really find any threads with pictures or lists of some sort of what I'm looking for. This weather has had me organizing my garage and since I started messing around with foamers and getting more into decoys I would like to set it up as a little makeshift decoy...

Don't have Facebook so I did it online, thanks. Wish I would have made it out to build wood duck box's Sunday, my buddy went I was just feeling sick and decided to stay home. Looked like a good turnout, congrats!

Mike, who do I contact to get in? Thanks

Looks like a fun little boat, good luck. I have been looking for one like that to play around in the summer with and use the off season to hang wood duck box's and all.

My Roy boat drafts a bit more water then I expected, can't really complain but it's not really a mud rig. Your going I spend a pretty penny on the boat too since there getting harder to find when you can just spend your money elsewhere on the right rig.

I probably have around 26" on the ground, measuring from the middle of my paddock area where there is no drift, my mailbox is almost covered with the snow drift which is pretty wild.

Awesome thanks, that's my plan also to build a layout cradle. I have a Sneakbox so small spots are covered for me but I have some local big water and the ocean I want to be able to gun.
