we haven't been cold so far this winter, no ice to make the divers migrate. My shop is a three car garage with a very leaky double door, the single door is sealed well. I have a 220 heater too, but it's more or less there to keep things from freezing. If the temp is 20 outside it will be 54...

I'm really liking the colors I'm getting on the goldeneye hens. on the flank it's the standard goose grey all the way up to the head. On the back and tail I tried something different with dark feather grey over black rustoleum. The head is brown over brown, I wished there was a more caramel...

my nose is plugging up just looking at that saw dust. I'm horribly allergic to sawdust and have asthma, hence all the foam carving I do. I have a wood urn I'm about to start on in the next month, hopefully I'll survive it. Since I've started wearing a fly fishing shirt with a hood along with...

Book marking is a good idea on some of these posts. It' hard to run posts down sometimes. Don't hesitate to ask in the future. On my facebook page it takes me about an hour to just scroll through all the information to find some of the tutorials people ask for. I used to make DVDs of my...

First, I'll go back and talk about the basic flocking colors for the gadwall. A gadwall doesn't have a lot of base color changes, the drake is mostly a medium grey paint and a medium grey flocking. With flocking unlimited, there are like 4 grey flocking colors, I've used them all at this...

here's a link to black and white oil based paint pens. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C81B9J4Z?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_2&th=1 I did a year of testing with paint pens on some wood duck decoys I put on my water feature. They went out on the last snow of winter and came back in...

I got to do a little field testing this morning. The barrows decoys were on the bench yesterday, in the water today. We had out a dozen commons and and 5 barrows decoys, only shot one barrows hen, but had to bug out at 10:30. The weatherman was promising 20 mph wind, and we do have that now...

50 below can really get your attention, but usually it's calm out, when the wind starts to blow it's usually warming up, but that's a relative term. I'm pretty good up to 25 below, still could walk a trapline or shoot grouse if the gun will still fire. Driving around the block to round out...

my best guess is I flock about 500 decoys a year. As far as gadwalls go, oil based paint pens are your friend for painting the chest and vermiculation.
