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...

As I am getting older, and my circle is getting smaller, I am finding that I need to be more self-sufficient. A couple yrs ago, I invested in the receiver hitch hydraulic lift to pick outboards on and off without a hernia. Now I am noodling out a bed winch set up. Last night I picked up a...

I can't believe that on the 9th of the month there is no thread yet? I have dozens in the works.

Any suggestions for an inexpensive easy blowing call for the boys?

I wear a large, but found it a little too snug, so I ordered the XL, well that is too big! Bought a hat stretcher and now my Large fits fine. I may have used this XL for a single hunt. I did wax it when I got it as I did them both at the same time. I see on Filson's site they are on Back...

I picked up half a dozen unfinished H&H divers. My hunting partner in VT has some finished decoys he acquired some yrs ago when WingSet closed up. These are ground up yellow cork with a binder, pressed into a mold it appears. My thought is to seal them with some oil duckboat paint I have...

This coming weekend, I will take my SBDB north to the SSWA Fall boat show. This past weekend I greased the hubs, and checked the air pressure on the trailer. Put some more grass on the boat and loaded up some gear to bring to the show. I have a few parts from Brian Garman's hull to pass...

I know Salt Hay is traditional on a South Bay Duck Boat, but where I will hunt is fresh/brackish water, and out East on the salt marsh. But even out east, the areas we hunt are varied backgrounds, not pure meadow. So, I determined to start this yr with a mix of materials. I bought some...
