It's been a while since I posted an update, but my daughter's wedding, recovery from said event, and Thanksgiving have meant very sporadic work on the boat. I should have more time to make some real progress the next few weeks. Since my last update, I finished getting the bulkheads installed...

I walked away from FB for good about 12 months ago for that very reason... well, that and watching the way people were treating each other over political differences. There used to be a great call making forum, but it shifted to FB and died off probably 10 years ago now - a big loss, in my...

Yes, pirateship is the way to go.

Wow, looks great!!

Love the ornaments!

That is awesome Eric! That wooden jig reminds me of the ones I made as I worked towards finding the right shape. Very cool!

Ugh. Nothing is more infuriating than incompetence. But enjoy it now, you'll be laughing about it in a few years.

Good stuff and great pics Tod! We need some garage stories, though.

I'd want the dog behind me, so it would have to be a long solo layout blind! Maybe a double blind?

I like it, other than the vinyl ester (only because I have no experience with that).

I'd speculate the strake cavities were filled in an effort to reduce condensation build-up, and I'd probably fill them, too. If not foam, maybe cut to fit coosa or ply and epoxy in so no gaps? If the center strake can be open front to back for draining, I think I'd be tempted to leave that one...

Great memory! Thanks for sharing!

Very useful, thank you! I understand the basic physics but as I don't reload myself (yet), I don't have the practical experience on what may not work in the real world.

Looking great, quite jealous!

Some lead tape on the bottom of a barrel also works... and adding something similar in weight into any cavity in the stock (maybe your local plumbing supply has lead wool in stock?).

The physics of pushing a longer, narrower shot column and the increasing pressure developed due to friction and constriction. A 12 gauge has a bore just under .75 inches, a 20g just under .62 inches, and a .410, .41 inches (33% tighter than 20g, almost 44% tighter than a 12g). To keep it to...

Whatever gun you shoot, the best option is going to be non-factory loads (unless you can find a manufacturer making light waterfowl loads - I haven't seen such). Starting with shells, the lower the load the lower the recoil... but shell size itself is impactful. Longer shells, relative to...

Looks great in the water!

Great band, just saw them here in Wilmington (with Little Feat) Wednesday evening.
