1)...The Pick Mattock did not need to be modified just painted. It has a plastic crown on the handle, which I found to be no big...
I finally got my new Racks, Troop Seats, Bow Set, and Cargo Cover From Stephan Wood Products. I installed the racks and bows yesterday and started the camo job tonight........Still waiting on my 383 brown to show up to finish the painting. I have not tackled the cargo cover yet but I will...
I've been searching for a good stack cover for the deuce. I was using a big can but high winds would lift it off and the sparrows had just enough room to get up there and try to nest So this is what I came up with.
Supplies:
1) One small plastic coffee can (the metal ones chip paint)
2) A piece...
