My bucket list gets longer every time we get another one of these wonderfully creative projects! Lovely work - send some pics of the "big rig" in action this season!

Steve, the Atlantic Wildfowl Heritage Museum in Virginia Beach immediately comes to mind, www.awhm.org. Will poll the crew for other ideas. Best, Rufus

Sorry, missed the sticky and had to read about it in the big article...already placed and paid for the order. Now that the shirts are ready, how about the hats? Too cold for a tee shirt at all the recent shows, and it would have been nice to pick out the rest of the crew to say hello. Best, Rufus

Steve and company, great show and great DVD -- well worth the ten plus hour round trip from Virginia for our crew! Looking forward to the next event -- whatever you guys come up with, I am sure it will be outstanding! All the best, Rufus Brinn

Congratulations - great picture! Now, you just need eleven more and you can publish a great calendar!

Looking forward to it! Hope we have clear weather for the trip up and back!

Great idea - please put me down for on blue XL, please. Thanks!

That does it -- we will have to get up there for the show on the 7th! Nice work!

Great story! One more hunt for the growing bucket list...Steve Sanford's retirement activities are making it harder for me to count the days until I can pull the plug and join him as a gentleman of "leisure"!

That is gorgeous work -- and an unforgettable Christmas present that will undoubtedly be passed down and cherished.

As the wonderful old "Bay Rats" used to tell me at the gunning shack out in the South Bay years ago, "Retail is the most hated word in the English language"...and then have a libation while sitting out on their 125 foot long walkway anchored on old telephone poles and hardwood slats from those...

Thanks - and good luck with the birds on the opener!

Ditto on the brush instructions - the birds look great!

Steve. thanks for the update. How will this affect out of state hunters who come up for a late season brant hunt, for example...ahem. While I have my Power Squadron certificate laminated in miniature, is that going to be enough to keep us from the inevitable end of the day drill at the boat...

Pat, I thought that picture of the one you had made from my old mouse-eaten template was quite nice...are you setting up a production line? Hope all is well with you and the family, Rufus

Eric, congratulations to your son and your family - success like this is a family event. Your son appreciates you now, but he won't really begin to understand your love for him until he is hauling his own kids around to chase their dreams years from now! Here's hoping for continued success for...

Tom, very nice bird! Should be a popular build, since we really did get the redheads this year in the late season. All the best, Rufus

Great post -- really enjoying the living history lessons! Concur with Dave - if you find the right 'smith, sign me up for two now that the South Bays are together on their tandem trailer. Thanks, Rufus

Well, right while you are laying out the galleys..add a piece on how to personalize the buildings in your custom compound with giant black duck half models, like I think I see on the front of the two buildings behind Craig in the top photo. Is that what those are? It might be time for a...

Since we have an old top, complete in two parts, the idea would be to take it to a canvas guy and have him use the old one as a template, then lay new fabric over the original frame. We provide the material of choice, thus the question about recommendations for fabric. Thanks for the reply!
