Thanks.

Thank you.

Thanks, I'll try to keep after it.

Thank you for watching. Happy blind building and happy hunting!

If you're going to buy them, I would recommend an awning style window or a sliding window. Width is more important than height.

You're welcome, I hope it helps.

You're welcome. I'm also an amateur so if I can do it, you can too.

I do think that would work. The most important thing is to seal the laminated edges well when you're priming and painting and to store them in a dry place.

Thanks, it sure was.

Sorry, I don't have them on-line anywhere.

@@hookedonquackdarn.. thanks anyway

Thank you.

Hey, Brett. It's a Ruger M77 Mark II in .270 Win.

Thank you.

Thanks.

Thanks, it was indeed. Have you been using your v-boards?

@@hookedonquack I have not used them yet. Plan on using them for the first time thanksgiving week. I’ll send you a picture of them by email

Thanks.

Thanks.

Thanks.

i was able to get 21 silos from one 4' X 8' sheet.

How do you want to make that happen?

Sorry for the delay in my response. Before I replied, I wanted to conduct some "research". You aren't the first to express concern over waterlogged and sinking v-boards. I've never had them in the water for more than hours while using them. For my research, I put two v-board assemblies in a pond on Friday morning with the intent of leaving them there for a couple days and monitoring the result. As it worked out, I wasn't able to get back there until this morning. So this morning, after four days in the water, the assemblies were floating just fine. However, I would not recommend leaving the in the water, especially if the silhouettes are a plywood laminate. I also would not recommend storing v-boards outside, mine are stored in a shed and were very dry. I also have spray painted the arms of the v-boards on three sides to hopefully camouflage and make them blend better with the water, but that wouldn't seal them. I hope that helps answer your question.

@@hookedonquack perfect thank you! I want to run my divebombs out there but was worried about it sinking. Would you say cheap pine would work the best or what kind do you use?

I used pressure treated 2 X 4s and ripped them in half. The pressure treated lumber is rot resistant. Regular SPF 2 X 4s would work.

I had plenty of help on the day it was assembled. There were four of us. That would be very difficult to do alone but I guess it's possible with a temporary structure or nearby tree, ropes, pulleys, block and tackle, come-along. I'd recommend you get help.

Nice! I hope you have fond memories of hunting over them.

@@hookedonquackI never killed any geese. We don't get em in my part of Mississippi. They did look cool in my duck decoy spread.

Thanks, not bad for a couple of rednecks.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll try that.

It's a fun activity to get us out of the house at a time of year when I have cabin fever. If we were to figure out the cost per gallon of finished syrup, it would be pretty darned expensive. There's definitely a learning curve, we're doing some things right but still need to improve some things. Next big step for us would be reverse osmosis (which I've been watching videos on), not sure we can justify that though. When it got to a point where it was feeling like a job this year, we knew it was time to pull the taps.

Send how?

@@hookedonquack email perhaps?

@@timmythomas1460 Reply with an email address then take it down when I acknowledge receipt.

@@hookedonquack did you receive my email address?

@@timmythomas1460 No

Thanks for the feedback.

No I didn't. In hindsight, I should have and now I'm considering a caulk around the perimeter. For now I'm monitoring the effects of weather on the condition of the sash. Thanks for the feedback.

Is there away to find your plans?

Good to know, thanks.

Nice! Never turn down a block of wood, even if it's not big enough to make a duck decoy. Share pictures when you're done.

Honestly, these have seen limited duty. Since I built them two years ago, NY state messed with our daily limits. The regular season and late season daily limit in my area and most of the state is 1 goose/day which makes it hardly worth the effort. Our early September season limit is still good, but we usually hunt ponds in September because few, if any, corn fields are cut by then. I use them to supplement my full body decoys and build numbers. Under the right conditions, the silhouettes alone will get geese to finish.

Yes, they're painted on both sides. You're not the first to say the stakes need to be longer. I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the feedback.

If you go to a steel supplier you will be able to buy round bar a lot cheaper than Lowes or Home Depot . It will likely come in 10 or 12 ft lengths

Good idea. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks.

Man, that's a tough one. I guess you could have a frame that the steel roofing is already attached to and that frame could drop inside the wall panels and then screw through that frame into the top of the walls. That would be tough to lift into place, though. Sorry, I don't have the plans posted anywhere.

I have a video about my stakes. ruclips.net/video/P-WB8mccsXQ/видео.html The material comes from Home Depot and Lowe's. Additionally, I have been doing one of the improvements suggested in the comments of flattening the end into a blade.

I was watching another guy's video where he was demonstrating his shave horse and miscellaneous attachments he had for it. I scratched a crude sketch on a piece of paper from what I saw in that video and built from that crude sketch. I haven't documented the design after the fact.

You're welcome. I hope it was helpful.

You're welcome.

I hope. I built the v-boards and silhouettes to use with my floaters and build numbers. Since I built them, NY state messed with our daily limits. The regular season and late season daily limit in my area and most of the state is 1 goose/day which makes it hardly worth the effort. Our early September limit is still good, though. When I built them, I had visions of making a video of them in use but that hasn't happened yet. Hopefully, I can get better documentation this year.

Amy updates?

@@ryanholtmann9013 Not yet.

Thanks and good luck with your silhouette build.

I'm sorry, I don't. I scratched a rough sketch on a piece of paper from a video I was watching and built from that. I didn't document the design after the fact.

Got it

Cool, I'd like to see the pictures.

I don't know what to tell you on that one. I don't know what might be available on-line. The old "kit", Working Plans for Working Decoys by Charles F. Murphy that the plan I used on my reheads came from included a decent mallard plan. Used copies can be found on-line. You'd be paying for other, extra stuff though because it includes 6 plans (Canada Goose, Mallard, Pintail, Wood Duck, Scaup, Canvasback). If you were to go that route, make sure what you're getting includes the box of 6 plans.

Yes, Keuka Lake it is. It's a beautiful place.

The plan was part of an old "kit" that I was given, Working Plans for Working Decoys by Charles F. Murphy.

thanks I found a used book online and ordered @@hookedonquack

@@clintmidkiff5405 Nice! I hope it includes the box of plans.
