    NDR - Any NAVHDA members here?

    Hey Nate, Yup I have done the Nahvda thing and the Akc hunt tests. The Nahvda is much more involved than the AKC. I thought the Nahvda training program was a great one, although there were some things I was lack about. Ex: my old shorthair loved to retrieve, I didnt force break him because...

    NDR-T/C Omega??? Help!!!

    Phil, I would try the T/C sabots without any questions. I havent dealt with them since Smith & Wesson bought them out, But they used to have the best customer service I ever dealt with. If the new sabots dont fix your problem, call them again, they will want to know and will help.

    Youth Model 20 ga. What's available?

    Tough to beat the 870...BUT You might want to look into the Mossberg Bantam 500. The stock is easily adjusted for length (cant remember from what to what) And Mossberg has a pretty good rep too :).

    Share your screw ups - minor and major

    Laminating a mast for one of Phil Bolger's designs and used epoxy for the glue. I put the epoxy between the wood and nailed one end together, then tipped on edge so I could clamp the rest. After tightening the clanps to get a "squeeze out" of extra epoxy, I left it to set for the weekend...

    If you want to collect one decoy a year, which carver would you start with???

    Cant believe I forgot Bill Wasson. Bill's decoys were the reason I started carving. Nice, simple, and convey so so much.

    Advice sought for wood lathe compound sliding tool rest (numerous pics)

    Maybe I'm not seeing things right here Eric. If I am understanding you correctly you need to move the cutter up 1/2" to fit you lathe. From the photos it looks like you have at least that much adjustment in the slot for the hold down bolt. How about a stack of hardened steel washers ,and...

    Decoy broken neck

    How about epoxy? I assume its a jagged break? Just mix a little up, spread it on, and place back together. I've broken more of my decoys than I care to think about, and that is my usual fix.

    Eiders

    They are having FUN! At 68 and 65 years young, they have just retired and are taking thier dream trip. Hell, I'm proud of them for just doing it.

    Eiders

    My parents were sailing down by you on their way to Bermuda a couple of weeks ago. My father teels me he's never seen so many Eider as you had there. Considering he's from Maine that's saying something!

    Long Line ???

    Pat, I run 3' dropper lines spaced about 6' apart on the long line. That way one decoy will not wrap around another. I use the real scientific method of measuring: I put on a decoy, stretch out my arms, and put the next decoy there. Repeat. So far no problems.

    Is the ASPCA equally as bad as HSUS ?

    Not as disturbed as HDUD but dont confuse them with the SPCA. The ASPCA is a different breed than the SPCA.

    2004 Yukon ndr

    Seems to me there was a Technical Service Bulletin about the Eaton rear locker differentials as well. Might be something to have them look into. I don't have access to the magical Alldata site anymore or I would try to help more.
