Cool things you built at home or at work

That is awesome, Snagger. I like seeing craftsmen. We have lost a bunch to modern technology. Very few can do that quality of work. When guys paint their own lures I get a smile. Hands on is becoming a thing of the past. MRGLAX, nice lures. 

Here is one of my birds black cap chickadee I carved for competition in the internationals you have to make everything yourself pine cones , pine branch , birds feet of course carving the bird and painting. The pine branch is made of wire and copper, the pine cone is made from  copper that I cut and pressed. Bird's feet from copper . This bird has 600 hours of Labor in it , my first time competing and only time. There was 400 birds on the table. I was watching the judging they walked up to the table picked my bird up and moved it to the side. I had thought I did something wrong so I left and went to lunch ,came back from lunch to see if I was disqualified. Both of my birds had blue ribbons.

Nice job

The local shops didn't have any of the pike baits I wanted so I took ​matters into my own hands.

We stopped at a craft store a few days ago and my wife really liked some of the yard art that was made from old tools, especially a goofy looking bird. So without her knowing I took a few pics of it and made her one yesterday, gave it to her today for her B day.

Fowler, I use an old ironing board, for sighting in rifles. Works well, folds flat, and cost nothing.

Oh Fowler, so sorry to hear that.

I always loved hunting with Bella, she was such a good pup, and was so good with my boys!

Really bummed to hear that my friend

Hey Brent, that's Haylie the photo bomber. lol
Unfortunately,  Bella the duck commando passed back in March. 15yrs 7months. Quite a run she had in the duck marsh. 

Nice!

Is that Bella the duck camando in the background?
