I had one for a number of years and ran it in and out f the merrmac river here on plum island. They are rugged and would make a great duck boat. They do have some racking to them when they hit rough water so you can stiffen upthe boat by installing a hard deck. I ran a 50 on mine plenty of power...

Bill, if the person told you the builders name was that then it was built by Eddy England who built a bunch of Joppa floats in his boat house that you have driven by I'm sure a number of times. Eddy's shop is the old boat house that has the "no evacuation" sign on it on the way out to Plum...

Hey Lou. Some Friends? Boy how soon we forget. That was when Joppa was a puppy and a babe magnet :) Lots of fun times for sure. Oh and the sculling races at Lober fest too :) good times

I could not resist posting a link to a great article about Little Hank (aka Skeeter) shooting international trap at the National Junior Olympics in Colorado Springs last month. We are very proud of him and his hard work. Hope you enjoy it...

Mac great story. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. I will make sure that Little Hank reads it tonight. Hank

Thank you very much you guys. I have not been on much lately, been busy with the kids shooting team and going to the National Junior Olympics in Colorado Springs with Little Hank and 3 other athletes from MA. Great age to do so many things with him. Talk to you later and thanks Hank

Nice job on that one Eric. I have a 8" old Delta if you knwo anyone that wants to buy a restoration project. I just don't have the time right now. Little Hank just shot in the National Junior Olympics in Colorado Springs and shot very well considering he was the youngest one there. So we are...

Good Luck Pete, get well. Hank

Nice guns Bob. I love doubles and wish I could afford some of those. It sure is nice to dream. Thanks and next time you are there take a few more pics. Hank

That my friend is GREAT NEWS. I'm so happy for both of you. Keep you head high and keep moving forward no matter what. Thinking and praying for you both. Mary, Hank and Skeeter.

Thanks for the history on the boat I never know that much about the builder. I have one that was my fathers. He brought it in the 60's for $150. The same day the gentleman had a dozen old wood decoys that he wanted to sell for $150. My father told me years later and said why would I want...

513 is a nice shape. If you can get that slight curve in the blade like that it will help you slice with the drawknive. The other very important thing is to get a blade that is flat that will allow you to slice. There are drawknives out there that are a flat blade and then rise up on the back...

Those are some cool pics Steve. Great info on the birds too. Hank

Brian and Duane great job this year at Westlake. The youth carvers are all pumped up and ready to go home and carve more. I know that Skeeter is pumped. He was looking though Keiths book last night trying to figure out what to do next. :) Great stuff. Thanks again for all the hard work. Hank

Keith it is very generous of you to help out the site in this way. I tell everyone the same thing, Keith is the Crowell and Wheeler of our times. I was honored to write the forward for this book. This book was rewritten 3 times before Keith was satisfied with it. He is a true artist in any...

I'm very sorry to hear that Jimmy passed away and my condolences to the Vizier and Godin family. He was a ton of fun and I will always remember one night many years ago at a hotel bar in Ocean City there was a Cajun band that was playing and Jimmy got up and played the wash board for the band...

I use both. Lot of drawknives, spokeshaves on bodies. Grind in the head to remove some of the big stuff and then all knives to finish a head. The grinder will get some of the big stuff out of the way but you can do it all by hand. Hank

the key is you want a LOW angle on the blade. One of the things that I have not seen on a Stanley one is a low blade angle. They could have made one but I'm not aware of it. Nates suggestion is a good one too. HHG
