Thanks all! I did the math and if it takes me 5min, per corner, (conservative estimate) I'll spend over 25hrs rounding/blending by hand. I ordered some radiused cabinet scrapers and sanding blocks, as well as glued up some test pieces. I'll play with the test pieces a bit, but if looks like...

I've always wanted a AA Blackjack.. something that hides like my MLB but is big enough for two hunters. The Devlin Scaup has always been a dream too.. I just don't have the room to build or store it. When I really look at how much time I spend on the water, outside of duck hunting, or with...

Gentleman, thank for the replies. I was almost embarrassed to post this thread, as I've ran miles of material through roundover bits in my lifetime. I can't remember seeing a gap this bad. Dave, thank you for the drawing; great visual and perfectly illustrates the explanation. I guess I have a...

I'm building a swinging baby cradle for some close friends. The material is .800" thick. I should have planed down to .75" however, there will be a human child in this contraption I'm making and I was thinking "a bit thicker never hurt anyone." When I ran my 3/8" round over bit over it, it...

Mine weighs around 48lbs. I added another 15lbs or so in blindgrass. The grab handle is one of my favorite parts. I made a grab handle from 3/4" black pipe and through bolted it to the fiberglass dodger. After using it all season, I can attest to its stability when running standing up. I also...

Awesome! We went last year, had a great time. I killed eider, old squaw and surfs. Others from our group added brant, black ducks and mergs to their bags. Mass is an awesome waterfowl experience. I'll go back one day.

Yes sir. The dodger has a mounting flange that is conformed to the boat's deck. I added some nutserts to the deck and through bolt the dodger using thumb screws. It works great.
