aplumma Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 I know of a few people here that carve, whittle,make lures or paint. Lets see some of the winters projects and how they are coming along. Joe and I are working at bringing a 83 Virago back to new life but are still working on the mechanical stuff so it is not very photogenic yet. Art
kickingfrog Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 About the only winter project I have time for is an extensive photo essay of a canoe trip I took to the Arctic Ocean almost 12 years ago. Long before I had a digital camera. I hope to post it some time in February when things are getting a little slow and the spring opener still seams to be soooo long away.
blaque Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 nothing exciting here.......christmas took up too much of my time so far, and fishing lol going to be gutting and drywalling the kitchen soon Yippeeeee
Michael_Brown Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 This went from an idea to a major project fairly quickly. Should be lots of fun. BWPF_OOD_Ad.pdf
Burtess Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 No pics but my wife says so, so it must be..... Presently I have three 75 gallon and one 90 gallon aquariums stacked two high in my rec room. My wife says I must "downsize" to two tanks (she wants the one wall for an entertainment centre). I told her I can do, but the two tanks will be a bit longer and a bit wider. She says "OK".... So........ I am setting up two 180 gallon tanks, stacked two high!!!! Picking up the custom metal stand on Friday.... Burt
Burtess Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Nice setup Burtess... what'cha keep? Mostly Central and SA cichlids. One big Rose Queen (flowerhorn) as well.... Burt
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 I have a couple of projects on the go. The first is website development for a lodge and the second is to fish as many of these lakes before ice out as humanly possible.
Leecher Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Here's one that I worked on during the Christmas holidays..... it's a gift for my brother in law that was given to him on New Years day.... Leechman
irishfield Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Gonna make this look like new by spring... (or I won't be allowed to go back to the camp for the summer) Edited January 6, 2010 by irishfield
Guest steel'n'esox Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 Just picked up some balsa wood to make another attempt at steelhead floats, I poured 500 jigheads on ultrapoint hooks and 200 on owner deepcut flip n pitch hooks, have 20 muskybaits carved out of clear pine and cedar, 7 deepdivers and 13 jerkbaits that are waiting to be airbrushed and epoxied, as well Im fishing steelhead when ever the conditions are favorable, winters go by quick when you have a hobby or two
Kinger Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 I'm working on jigs, i'll make a post when they are complete!
DRIFTER_016 Posted January 6, 2010 Report Posted January 6, 2010 (edited) Gonna make this look like new by spring... (or I won't be allowed to go back to the camp for the summer) My landlord has a bunch of Dehaviland Beavers that look like that!! Worse actually. They're his retirement projects. He's currently working on one of them but I think he has 5 or 6 that are pretty bent up. Just picked up some balsa wood to make another attempt at steelhead floats, Thanks for reminding me. I also picked up about $35 worth of 1x1x36 inch balsa to build some more floats. Plus I have several rods waiting to be built, snowmobile trailer that needs work (when it warms up some), the list goes on and on. Edited January 6, 2010 by DRIFTER_016
discophish Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 I have to get these ready for the spring so that I can race everyone at the cottage and dodge trees and little critters. I know, cramped work area in my basement! I am working on this all in 2009 till present. It is an endless project and always on the go, especially during off season. This winter I want to install a wide rear tire (tranny and swing arm mods) before: during: now: But who has the time when we are all out fishing???!!! Hahaha! Disco

nofish4me Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 (edited) Here was my little restoration project for this winter. It was 50 years old. I was given this for Christmas 1959. Here's a link to a thread where I obtained the missing info for the Briscoe's decal. http://www.urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?t=10545 It was painted a 1959 Massey Harris red. Edited January 7, 2010 by nofish4me
GeorgeJ Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 This one started Winter 09 and is continuing Winter 10 should rap up Winter 11 just in time to move it up to Bancroft with me sometime around Winter 2012! It's a 1960 Dodge Sweptline.
Paully Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Here's my winter project! You wimps!!! Dressing up like gumby is not a winter project glen..
Greencoachdog Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Dressing up like gumby is not a winter project glen.. ... and you would think that if you'd caught anything of any worth recently you'd have taken a pic with that nice new camera you got for Christmas... or are you still skeered squatless that you'll hold the fish wrong and someone will bring it to your attention??? For a nominal fee... I can teach you how to take a self timer pic of you and your fish!... for an additional fee I can explain to you which fish is in season and which one isn't!
