Eric, I came across two of those boxes some 50 years ago while helping clean out a storage barn for the widow of a gentleman who had been in the business of selling heavy construction equipment. She told me that her husband had supplied most of the heavy equipment used in the construction of the...

[size 5] Man, Eric ! Is there anything you can't do in that shop???? The transformation of that outboard is a thing of beauty. Vince: I'm beginning to wonder about how you keep that pipeline of wine case lids coming in [sly] Beautiful cans. Steve: The weather never keeps you in need of...

Vince, Some mighty fine stuff going on in your shop while you wait for the fishing to start! With winter hanging around 'til the last dog is hung, we geezers have to retreat into our "spaces."[;)] Finished up the spatter-painted mallard drake to that pair this week:

[size 5] I first heard that type of swing weight referred to as a "toilet paper roller." First introduced to the concept when Joe Wooster showed me how to make one when I was looking for a way to effectively weight some black cork, duck-butt feeder decoys for a rig I had made. Always neat to...

[size 5] Have moved a decoy urn from the shop to the painting studio. Texture is done, and I started by spatter-painting the head. Indiana duck opens end of this week in the South Zone.

[size 4] Thanks, Jode. Callmaking is pretty much limited to when I get requests rather than making batches to sell. But I always have the raw materials on hand. Did some duck calls for a fundraiser sporting clays shoot last month. In exchange , they invited me to come shoot for free, fed me, +...

Great pictures, Vince. Hope all is well!

Started out the month by getting a goose call done for Dave McCann. Nicely figured salt-cedar from Al H, with poly-sleeved barrel and contrasting striped-hard maple end caps. Also added some fancy inlay bands. Will get this out to you today, Dave.

I'm finding that the surge in Canada Goose populations in the areas I hunt makes a small spread of Canada floaters (5 or so) along with a few small groups of duck decoys a set that must look natural to both ducks and geese alike. I keep seeing them sitting together or in close proximity, and...

[size 4] Good to see you off and running on yet another season, Al. Hope it's another great year !
