My mistake... it's still there in the "Brant" thread. Sent you a PM Mark. .

I saw your high head Bluebill in the "What's in your rig" thread. The pic and your offer to share the pattern have since been deleted. Would you be willing to share that pattern with me? I sure would like to carve a couple of those for my BB rig. .

Thanks!

Looks like it has been removed. I saw an offer to share a pattern. I can't remember whose bird that was. I sure would like to do a couple of those. Any help???? .

Check these out at $1.95 each! Of course the shipping is $5.95 unless your order is over $100. http://www.onlineindustrialsupply.com/flap-sanding-wheels-mounted-flap-sanding-wheels-1-4-inch-shank.html .

Mike, I remember your saying these were pricey. I found these at Woodcraft for $2.99 each (USD). .

The more I thinhk about it the more I believe that the gun load combination was what was effective. I had better luck with those #5's than 4's or 6's. Of course back in those days I didn't bother to pattern anything other than where the girls were going to be on a Friday or Saturday night...

I undersatand what you are saying about these being the good old days of shell selection, and I prefaced my comments with the "selective memory" comment. I have shot tungsten (Kent, Federal) HeviShot, and Heavy Steel, and Bismuith as well as all the major Steel brands. But I do recall that I had...

I have an old Fox and shoot bismuith in it as well. The shell performs well, but the gun doesn't fit as well as my others. I used the bismuith in my SBE and 686 O/U which fit like a glove. I still believe (and its been a loooooong time) that shot for shot the knockdown power of lead (over the...

As I read this thread I was recalling my earliy days in the blind and longing for the 2 3/4" Winchester XX 1 1/4oz #5's (lead).....pure death on divers over the blocks.....ah give me the good ol days.

I tried one on mine and found at 56 LBS it was to heavy. Perhaps if I had the additional 2 feet I would have had enough displacement to make it work. .

Here are some pictures of two that I built. I just cut them off at the mid station and put a transom with motor mount at that location making them 12 footers. If I were to do it again I would replicate the full width ribs and keep it at 14 feet for stability purposes. These do fine with a...

Actually I have, but she doesn't call it a duck call! .

The dog in my avatar (now deceased) was "Vaughn's Sophie Lou". Vaughn is my daughter. We called her " Sophia Maria Louisa Antoinetta Isabella Garcia Left Eye Lopez". We were trying to be all inclusive in our naming so as to not offend any particular ethnic group. We probably should have...

Which head gets the "mussel" in it's mouth? .

Jeff, Sorry I missed your post. I left Friday morning. Not many ducks on the lake. Tough hunting because of the high water. Sorry again, I may be finished for the year, family stuff.... Robert

Nice move................... BLOODTHIRSTYBOB HEHE .

Killshot, Is that your real name? I built a Busick one man years ago. Great little layout and fun to build. .

Colin, Don't wait to post pics until you are finished. Post pics of your progress as you build please. Lots of folks here are "Jonesing" for boat building pictures, myself included. .
