    Cassiopeia - pilothouse for the Mother Ship

    Nice looking work Steve. So many around here want aluminum houses. They work well but I would like to build one with wood and epoxy. Thanks for documenting everything so well. Eric

    Heinrichs Sneakbox Rebuild Thread

    Tom, Thank you for the pics. Shy of a set of offsets you could duplicate that boat from them. I've never seen the plugs used to fill the knots in the planks before. It is always neat to see that kind of detail. Boat looks like it will be fun to hunt out of. Nice work. Congratulations on the...

    A few found pictures

    I retired my Heron confidence decoy when I set it up in an area apparently already staked by another heron. Lots of posturing and noise as it tried to run my decoy off. Sure blew my cover. Still makes me smile. He spends his days looking looking through the railing at the neighbor's whale...

    Mac and I got a ram on Saturday.

    Mac has sure grown. Better for you as he can pack a bit more. Nice to see the pictures as always. Congratulations to the "Both" of you.

    Bradley Electric Smokers?

    We sell them and the feedback we get is people love them. No problems so far and it has been a few years or so since the first one sold. I keep hoping my old smokers calf when we have one in stock so I can upgrade. Eric

    Wall Tent advice

    We used it for the floor of a 14x20 wall tent that my parteners had bought 2nd hand. Used it for Deer/Moose/Elk in the mountains of BC. Spoiled me for hunting any other way. (Other than renting a room or cabin.) We hung a fire fighting can on the side of a shop built stove and always had hot...

    Check with Wolfe Marine, They are near Shelter Island. 604-270-7770 Ask for Jack or John. They should be able to help you or steer you in the right direction. All else fails we have 3- 14.5 ounce kits here in Ucluelet. Eric

    It's June, what's on your cradle?

    Your building a sweet looking boat Pete. Gonna be hard not to think about building one. What size of brass you looking for. I was going to use 1/2" half round to cover the corner of my combing where I rest my gun barrel. I may have some left over although shipping seems a bit extreme these...

    Is cedar too soft?

    Ryan, I would include plastics to all of the above. UHMW will draw #14 screws through planks. Watch for UV issues with it though. If you pre-drill what ever material you use and run the screws long enough to go clean through, you got all of your materials strength. Buck off the protruding...

    Snowy drakes

    Thats way too much work for a couple of ducks. As a kid all our hunting was done from our property on a river. Opening day in MN was a noon start. We would tuck our trouser legs into our leather boots, put our shells in our shirt pockets and hold the guns up over our heads while wading waist...

    questions and opinions please?

    I'll third the Wigeon. I just wasted time plucking two Mallards only to discover they had been eating clams. Thought I could distinguish that from the color of the breast. The Wigeon that I brought home were nice and fat though. Nice yellow fat.(No clams in the diet) I thought about making some...

    Question regarding instalation of runners

    I also used epoxy only to attach my runners. On my boat (a "Bluebill") there wasn't much to attach fasteners to. I'm not a big fan of running screws edge wise into plywood. I figure if they tear off it will still leave the watertight integrity of the hull intact. I tested them again yesterday...

    Sharptails

    Nick, You should be on top of a few where you are. I grew up in Koochiching county on the eastern border below the county seat. While we never targeted the Sharpies with much effort there were enough around to hunt them when spotted from the school bus etc. I think my bro in law has a lease...

    DBHP Wooden Boat Show get together?

    Thanks for that Bob. I think I had had settled on Fein's vacuum system but had not yet decided on a DA yet. I did not realize Porter Cable had a dust pick up model till I saw a customer with one last week. I need something that I can rent out and is fairly idiot proof (vacuum system) and easy...

    welding plastic drums

    Here is the gun type i use for plastic welding. Mine is an older model. You also need a 9mm reducer and plastic welding tips. The technique is similar to tig or gas welding as you heat and add rod. Some rod comes in precut lengths, some continuous. www.engineeringlab.com/heatguns3.html The...
