Dont think its a point pleasant bird you can tell from pictures that the bird was turned, you can see the saw marks on the back, it was also not sanded down by the looks of the saw blade ridges. The body also has a shelf for the head no neck . The ring on bottom of the bird is not correct for...

Before i lost my parker pilothouse to hurricane sandy i had intentions of sealing up the notched transom, repowering with a 225 yamaha four stroke and adding a armstrong bracket, they are fiberglass brackets that they sell or you can design and are very affordable . I think that would be your...

Pat great video, makes me happy that i took the foredom n packed it away for good. Watching him make that block makes me embarassed for using a bandsaw lol.

I am in the final stages of resoring/ building a 1940 16 ft perrine box. When i got the boat it was delaminating as well, best thing to do is to get that glass off and see what your dealing with. More times than not glass delaminates because of moisture. Get all the glass off and let that cedar...

Anybody have any input on a moderatly priced 6 inch jointer?

I know im starting a war by saying this and i dont mean any disrespect by it, but its alot different when a machine is shaping the body for you and all your doing is a head spokeshaving groves and knobs off. Plus you dont have to hollow or glue halves together, alot different when half the work...

I will be painting my first rig of oil painted decoys, a 6 bird rig of green wings. Does anybody have a color key for the drakes and hens. I will be using tube oil paints because that is what is available to me right now

Its my first boat but my gunning partner who is overseeing it has built and converted 8 of these. But to answer your question yes, this is my first boat build.

Thanks paul, as far as the " overbuilding " part, i dont believe it will change the boats characteristics, i am a big fan of the better safe than sorry mentality. I really thought and pondered about every charetaristic i could want in a duckboat, i literally looked at 100's of photos of...

Yes my buddy that is helping me build the boat has the same boat as mine that has been converted to gunning box. We hunted his boat and it drafted about 5-6 inches fully loaded. No drain plug in this one, now a week off to let 5200 to fully cure under the planks

Thank you very much guys for the compliments. We are moving along at a pretty good pace but paying alot of time to detail and measuring 3 times and cutting once. I personally think we are overbuilding the boat, by that i mean we doubled up on gussets, theres one on each side of every rib on the...

Roughed out my first rig of green wing teal. will be hollowed cedar painted in oils.

Well after a couple long weeks of work, the hassle of buying a new home, my 3 yr old and 9 month old sons, and some decoy cedar itching and screaming from inside the shed to be made into something already, I did manage to get some work done on the sneakbox. My gunning partner works full time in...
