I don't have one, and don't really have a need. I have a couple Versa Vises and extra bases so I can move around the shop and boat shed easy enough.... but I want one of these...

As the years go by, I find myself much more involved with decoys and boats than actual hunting. As many know, I have been working on molding and decoy making for awhile. I have some 50+ heads and over 25 bodies molded or in the process of molding. I satisfy my creative itch by making decoys...

Bought myself a new Drake jacket. The inside of the liner sleeves is not slick, and is a PITA to slide over my hunting sweater. I will leave it with my MIL in March and have her sew in some sleeve lining. I sent a note to Drake, suggesting they address this in future designs. The outer coat...

The area I hunt is rather exposed. Virginia blind laws prevent us from hunting close to shore as the shore is locked up with blinds. Generally we must be 400yards from shore, which is why we are exposed. The next challenge is we hunt tidal waters, and the bottom is generally a minumum of 4ft...

Cackler on Steroids I have had this hull for some 15yrs and have not touched it. See the story and pics on my FB album. A great start, wide open for whatever you can envision. When I first got it, my plan was a motor camper. Something that I could travel the Great Loop with John Bourbon...

I realized with the calandar change, that annual subscriptions are coming due..... renewed my DB.net subscription as well with the Donate link above.

I had scheduled all this week off from work, to hunt and putz around. It is a slow time, most folks are out and not much is happening. But the fronts are rolling through with high winds yesterday and today, so I have come to work to save the vacation for better hunting weather. I love my High...

I have "only" the A-5 Magnum that is my go to duck gun. I hate to see how the salt is hurting her, but she is past the point where I won't eventually have her refinished, and maybe coated in some fashion.... not traditional, but she is my work horse and already sports a composite stock...

This 1905 Dodge and Krowl has been fully refurbished, and took best in show at the SSWA show October 2024. It comes with the sailing rig, and everthing needed to use as a self-tending layout boat. She can be sailed, rowed, towed, or motored. I have towed her at speed, and have propelled her...

I need to free up some of my dry storage for the new projects. I have too many boats that serve very similar purposes. The Sam Hunt BBSB is a wide, displacement hull. This is the first boat I took on, and modeled it very much like Dave Clark's Estuary. You will see several details and...

Back in August, Maria and I took up trip to upstate NY, it was a dual purposed trip; 1. visit Maria's cousin's family 2. visit Pencil Brook Farm to pick up the Tom Miller duckboat. But then a month later, another vintage hull is posted on FB. It appeared to me to be an Ice Scooter, with the...

I meet a couple sweet Boykins this past week while on vacation in SC. I have always had Labs, but have also had an interest in the AWS as an alternative. The Boykin just hit a soft spot in my heart. They were so friendly, and calm, and driven all at the same time. Not ready to pull the...

Steve, I searched the archives and have not found your post. Please re-post the details for your hull rollers. I have put it off long enough and need to build a set really soon!

I have a 20V wet/dry shop vac that I have used to remove the water that did not drain through the plug, but this unit is pretty slick! https://mellif-tools.com/products/mellif-for-dewalt-20v-stick-transfer-pump-cordless-720gph?variant=44474543472829

I have all the fullsized tools in the garage, or boat/shop/tent. But Maria's car also resides in the garage, so everything is on wheels and tucks away. This makes a quick cut or a quick drill a PITA. My decoy shop is small, and already over crowded. I typically can only do one activity at...

My 1905 scooter was damaged when a tree out back uprooted and fell. It drove one of the tent frames through the deck. I slid a board between to prevent any water leaking into the hull, but it failed to keep the mice out! The grey layout suit was trashed. Fortunately, the deck damage...

Folks, I have been building up an inventory of molds to continue the traditional decoys..... I have most of the Herters molded, all of the TJ Hookers, one of the VADAM, etc. Working for my retirement side hustle! Anyway, I am in need of a decent Herters pintail both in 63 and 72. I have the...

Some may recall the rocking geese that I made in 2022 for both grandsons born in 2021. We were again double blessed in 2023 with 2 granddaughters. Not wanting to burden their parents with yet another large item just yet (baby cradles, doll houses will eventually come). I decided to make them...
