Rick You'd be the talk of the town for sailing a Barnegat around Bayou Meto during duck season.

Carl I was in Mobile in February and drove over the Mobile Bay causeway. I did not see one duck. I only saw a couple blind remnants. It looks like the ducks are gone along with the hunters. Back in the 80s there were signs of duck hunting everywhere. They are no more. I wonder if the...

An oven in the basement? I've seen kilns in basements but not too many ovens. What were they cooking down there?

RM I haven't heard of any studies that add credence to flyway shift theories. I think we are dealing with dry prairies, poor habitat, low breeding populations, small fall flights, changed agriculture practices, and an old bird population that knows how to utilize the refuge system and move at...

Tod Looking back the golden age in my lifetime was the mid 90s. The factors were (1) Water returned to the prairies and duck numbers exploded. (2) Hunter numbers nationwide were still low from the late 80s losses (small bag short season). (3) North Alabama hunter numbers were a fraction of...

Dave I think you just enjoy a little space to yourself without lottery winners crowding you. That's how I am.

Tod Have you considered lighting the floor instead?

Larry Exactly and thank you. The season of life is changing and I'm uncertain if I will continue to be an active duck hunter for a number of reasons. I've hit the point where I question if my time is better off spent on other pursuits. Maybe 43 seasons is enough. I spend a massive amount of...

Tod Can you mount metal conduit to the joists? If so I might consider giving the shop ceiling an industrial look with a series of metal conduit runs with electrical boxes and lights mounted to them in typical fashion. Having said that lighting seems to be an area where new products are...

Use a template and a router bushing guide, or work it by hand. It looks nice as it sits.

My sentiments as well. If non-resident access is curtailed fed funds are forfeited.

John Who are you calling flat brims and what do you mean by that?

RM Nearly all the WMAs eliminated mid-week hunting, meaning I have to hunt the crowded weekend times, in the dewatering areas (seasonally flooded ag fields). For decades I avoided crowds by hunting midweek afternoons and was quite successful at times. Of course, the crowds have thinned on...

I was content with my fleet for decades. The Devlin Black Brant and Broadbill sneakboxes I built were utilized to their fullest seeing myself and my son on many adventures and back home safe countless times. I cherish the memories created in them since 2000. But in the past several years my...

Hey Fred I was at Bob Loki's a couple weeks ago and saw a call of yours in one of the tool cabinets. I guess we keep some of the same company. Nice work.

Tod I think you learned that method from Harker. He stood on the top of his Powermatic 66 and pushed the sheet through on the short edge. It obviously works, as long as winds are calm I suppose.

Larry I enjoyed the report. The things people do for family money... That's beautiful country there in the Northwest corner of TN. Over the years I saw many woodworking machines get auctioned there. Although not in North Carolina that was part of furniture industry country before it mostly...

Tod You obviously put some real thought into the new shop including moving it across the country and construction methods. I don't envy starting over with a new workshop but you are making it look easy. Keep the progress and reports coming.
