I did some internet searches on shaving horses and found a set of plans for a "bowl horse" which looked perfect. $30 at Lowes for wood and hardware and this is the result. I like this setup because there is nothing to get in the way of the knife. I have added a couple blocks to raise and...

Eric, I have seen the same with my forum. Page views continue to go up but posts are dropping. I know of on decoy forum that went to facebook and reports are the activity really picked up but I would not know because I don't use FB. I have an account but only to get info on the kids sports...

yep, I have seen Eric's boat and it is nice. Craig, thanks for the photos, 36 Ward style cans are my favorite decoy. photo of part of my rig [URL=http://s131.photobucket.com/user/BAMAH20FWLER/media/WP_20151206_08_41_14_Pro_zpsgstfbawo.jpg.html]

I have Zack Taylor book and look at those plans often. that looks like a good way to go. Steve, thanks for the links to your builds. It looks like a lot of fun. There is a boat junkyard near here that I may need to take a look at. Will let yall know if the plan survives (ie if I can...

I hunt most of the time with my son and the boat I have is really too much boat for the areas I hunt (if too safe is possible). However, after lurking around here for years I think it is time to look into a father/son project. I would like to know if yall have any ideas on a boat design that...

Joe there is always the option of a thru the hull transducer or a mounting plate that glues to the outside of the hull. I used a mounting plate because my boat is aluminum and the thru the hull would not work but I would have rather used thru the hull setup so it didn't catch on milfoil and...

that sounds like the best option. I can drain it into my 1960 CJ5, it will run on ANYTHING and it only gets used in the summer.

Roy, I use the blue Marine version. Kyle, I am in that area somewhat often so I will have to find one up there. the nice thing about the big tank and the etec is I normally only have to fill it up at the start of the season (guess that is a down side also)

I had a station near me that had non- ethanol gas but they quit selling it. I'm going to have to find a different place.

Headed out for opening day and made it about 1/4 mile before the outboard quit and would not restart. (no hunting) Took it in for service this week and the fuel lines were the problem. Ethanol had destroyed them. I was lucky that the eTec engine has a water separator filter and a fuel filter...

Carved a few new birds and fixed up some older ones. Trying to learn to paint with oils.....

We found a cave in the woods behind my parents house that we would explore. One day we found a large "room" (maybe 10x10) that we thought would be a great place to have a clubhouse. Came back the next weekend to set up the clubhouse only to find that the cave had shifted and the room was no...

When it comes to using a draw knife the best tool I have is the carving bench I made last fall. I can adjust it to hold heads and bodies and it allows me to really work with the draw knife. I never had a work table that was sturdy enough for my carving vice and I always felt like I just...

Eric, I have been a little busy and not been around here much so I missed this. That is an awesome looking shop. Really beats the 5x10 area I have in my garage. With that much space (and equipment) you are going to have to build something. See you out on the lake.

I hear ya! I will not be out there on the opener but on the plus side most of the "bone-heads" who campout for two days prior will either be gone by day two or at least be sober.

Weatherby SA-08™ SYNTHETIC around $600. My 11 year old got one last year and it has been great for him. VERY light and it fits him great. It comes with shims so you can adjust the size as needed. It is also very soft shooting which is a big plus. He was shooting a .410 single and...

A big thanks to everyone!! We sold 113 tickets The winner of the decoys is: George Clark from Jackson OH George, I will get you address out to all the carvers All I can say is THANKS!! To everyone. I'm still shocked by the turnout. George, I sent your address to all the carvers so you...

Hey guys, the raffle is for my nephew. There is an additional bird that was just donated by Scott Green (picture below). This bird will be included in the raffle if we sell an additional 25 tickets. This is my original post on the WorkingDecoys forum: Over time we have our little...

This was my son's Christmas. He is 10 but it is a light full sized gun that he can handle well. Weatherby SA-08 20ga Auto. $469.00 I did a bunch of research looking for a light 20 auto and this is the best I found without going over a grand. just under 6 lbs and light recoil. I...
