Building a bench/decoy storage box, then a blind over the top of where we sit.
I have been looking at stoves/heaters also....I would like a cup of G-may while I hunt!

The Mr. Buddy heaters work good. Coleman makes a propane powered coffee pot. It works great and makes HOT coffee.

Posted: Fri Jul 26, 2013 9:26 pmThanks fellas.
Olly what will you use for poles? I have been thinking about using some thin rebar welded with a t handle.
GKR gave me a 20 lb propane bottle I was thinking about using to power a sunflower heater and maybe a stove?

Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2013 10:05 pmLooks like a lot of progress has been done to the boat.
Re: Painted my boat today
Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2013 10:18 pmThe paint job looks good. Looks like the blind is going to come together nicely.

Posted: Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:15 pmDon't breath that shit in when your welding. You'll be sicker than a dog.
Re: Painted my boat today
Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2013 12:54 amWhat are you welding? Get some couplers and be done...
Re: Painted my boat today
Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2013 9:30 amCouldn't get couplers.
I know not to breathe the smoke.
I know a welding shop with a TIG welder that will finish it out for me.

Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2013 9:38 amCouplers suck anyway. Makes the bar bend a little. I wish you could buy 30ft sticks without special ordering.

Posted: Sun Jul 28, 2013 9:58 amI made a blind with the couplers and it lasted for like 2 weeks. I bolted my current one and it's way stronger.

Posted: Sat Aug 31, 2013 3:20 pmThe welders called me the day I left for my fathers funeral. Thankfully my cousin knows them and gave them direction in my absence. Here we go-
In the meantime I primed and painted this piece of plywood that will serve as decoy storage and bench material.
