Looks pretty damn sharp. Too bad I'm not coming out earlier, we could sip bourbon and paint it like my hybrid.

15 sticks. I want a few to practice bending.....anything left over will live in my barn, I am sure it will come in handy someday.
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!

TK, make use of those spud pole holders. I will be adding some to my new boat.

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

Thanks 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?

The paint job looks good. Looks like the blind is going to come together nicely.

Don't breath that shit in when your welding. You'll be sicker than a dog.

What are you welding? Get some couplers and be done...

Couldn'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.

Couplers suck anyway. Makes the bar bend a little. I wish you could buy 30ft sticks without special ordering.

I made a blind with the couplers and it lasted for like 2 weeks. I bolted my current one and it's way stronger.

That gonna be the height of the roof/overhang? Looks pretty tall, not very low profile.

The 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.
