I'll took a look at the AC leggs and will give it a shot. I had the goldeneye for lunch today, it was delicious, I did the soak in salt water and Lawry's seasoned salt, some onion powder, changed out the water twice until it stayed clear. I had it all cut up into finger steaks and dipped them...

Something else you might want to think about is what to wear in the shop. For pants I have stretchy sweatpants and a hooded fly fishing shirt. They are polyester 86% 14% spandex. I can pull them off easily over my shoes or respirator and keep the dust in the shop and not get the wife riled up...

The first redhead is flocked and ready for airbrush, although it would hunt just fine like it is. I always paint the bills by hand with full strength rustoleum in gloss the appropriate color, in this instance it will be a slate blue to start and then airbrush, that will make the paint on the...

I'm probably looking at getting new waders in the next year or so. I bought some breathable waist high waders 600 insulation in the boot foot from Cabelas where my wife was working back in 2012. I had neoprene before these breathable waist high waders I have now. Once I got the breathables...
