June...What's on your workbench?

[JeffCassat]

jeff, what are you doing to protect the tails? Dowels? nails? something magical?

finish nails, epoxy and lots of magic. they don't break when dropped on the concrete...but i'm sure they'd tear off if i stood on one and pulled though. no biggie...very very cheap to make!

 

[Mike Frechette]

Phil, It's a mussell.

Jeff, where do you find the time to crank them blocks out.

Tom, Nice work as always.

Geoff, nice little hen you made.

Everyone else, nice work. Keep the pics coming.

Found a little time to work on them again.

Spent quite a bit of time today. Putzing around with this one.

All the decoys are moving along in this rig. Just some details on each and I can seal them.

Putting the new shop to great use, I see, Sean! Great group of birds.

I have been without a workbench since my small barn lost half the roof and contents in SS Sandy. After all the repairs on our house were finally completed it is now time to start on a new work shop. I started clearing the ground to get ready to lay the foundation.
I hope to have a working shop in about 3 weeks. We are still burried in storm damaged work and finding time to work on my own projects has been tough this spring. So this is the only contribution I can make as of right now.

Bob, Pat and tom thank you!
Spoon man Paul is going down ! I'm gonna corner the spoon market.

[Roy Weatherby]

your work is always amazing Sean...good to see some new pictures

 

[Rutgers]

Bring it on Flannelman! Be warned you'll have a hard time competing with child labor.

She is also a pro staffer. The kids size black hoodies were back ordered so grey for now.

 

[Kevin Wharton]

doesnt anyone make forks

 

[Pat Gregory]

Pauly - Without knowing the Child Labor Laws in Michigan, it's safe to assume by the picture you posted, you are in clear violation. Next she'll be making guitars.

That picture is prescious. Even the safety glasses... Pat

 

[D. Hinton]

Me. Sutton , really like the shop. What are your finished dimensions?

 

[sean sutton]

Mr. Hinton . its 10x16.

Been working on a Coot-Buildup. The odd Duck here, and there, and a bunch more on the bench. I included a couple Veteran Rig-Birds in the foreground that were hunted pretty hard last Season.

Only the shot-holes missing on these Beaters. Haven't snapped the bills off completely yet.

I had been having some connection problems with my Home PC getting onto Duckboats.net, but I'm glad to be getting back to making some posts... Still frustrated with Photobucket's new format, and I have a handful of Birds, and PMs to still catch up on. If anybody's anxious to reach me call my Cell. (763)274-9700

Good stuff from everyone again. Really like the Monthly-Thread!
