Dale Moser · 02-25-2012, 02:08 PM

I was probly just painting that day, he checks out when I fire up a grinder or welder.

Silent Assassin · 02-25-2012, 02:40 PM

I love your idea to convert boat trailer into blind. I think this is by far the best DIY blind so far since I jumped on board on this site. :thumbup:

I would prolly steal your idea if my ranch was bigger but just 32.5 and Im gonna stick to elevated tower blind.

I brought a little 4' sheet metal brake home from work to bend the tin for the corners. It worked very well!

Usual D~Mo style

Going to be a hoss. Looking into the future here but I bet that kido sits in this blind for his first hunt

bsills · 02-25-2012, 09:55 PM

Very nice

Ol Thumper · 02-25-2012, 10:12 PM

Looks sweet Dale, good work brother!!!! Nothing like the satisfaction the first time you draw blood out of blind you put a lot of time and work in.

Legdog · 02-26-2012, 09:12 AM

When the zombies come you will instantly be their king.

Flat screen?

Awesome!

I bet your wound looks like the hole in my thumb where I tried shoving a number 2 phillips bit through it running wide open on a 18v drill

It hurts a little today

That's looking sweet D-Mo.

Mike D · 03-15-2012, 09:29 AM

Very nice Mr Moser!

What'cha gonna put on the inside to keep it from sounding like a gong on the inside?

Texastaxi · 03-15-2012, 09:38 AM

What's going on with those windows? They look a lot like sheet metal!

Insulation, then thin plywood....painted, then carpet on the floor and 2' up the walls.

Yep, I havn't cut them out yet. The sheet metal is basicly just a watershed. I'll cut out the full windows from it. Then I'll build steel outer windows out of 14ga an inch bigger all the way around than the window openings.... to hinge on the outside. There will be lexan windows inside that slide down below the opening in tracks.

Brannon74 · 03-15-2012, 02:07 PM

looks good dale. Your dang sure handy.

bullwinkl · 03-15-2012, 02:17 PM

Looks Fine, my Friend.

D range tires is a suggestion

Sidekick · 03-17-2012, 01:27 AM

the-butcher · 04-29-2012, 04:53 PM

Looks awesome. Are you finished with inside yet

Heath · 04-29-2012, 04:56 PM

I want to sit in that Taj Mahal.

Dale Moser · 04-29-2012, 10:00 PM

I havn't even started the inside yet, aside from the wiring.

I couldn't put the floor in because I wanted to be able to weld it to the trailer from the inside, and it won't fit in the shed on the trailer, so I waited until it was dried in to drag it outside. I havn't even worked on it in a couple months until Friday night. Funds and time have been short. Hopefully I'll get a little more steady at it.

It's not as top heavy as I'd feared, but I have to re-work the door latch now that it's on the trailer...or maybe just the weather stripping. Then I'll put some foam closures under the R-panel, then apply a couple cans of great stuff foam, and several tubes of silicon......and put the floor in.

I'm just glad to have it out of my shopita for now, but it's gonna suck finishing the inside this summer.

Joey~AP · 04-29-2012, 10:03 PM

Lookin good hand!

Appropriate that the fabrication fluid picture was a little blurry. That way we know what it looked like thru your eyes.

I don't know when I took that picture, but I worked from Brady's bed time Friday night, until 3AM Saturday morning......and I guarantee ya things were a little blurry then.

macoop · 04-30-2012, 09:43 AM

I like it! When can you start on mine?

Ron · 04-30-2012, 09:45 AM

Still looking really nice and I can't wait to see the finished blind.

Skipshot · 04-30-2012, 10:19 AM

How did I miss this one for so long? Wouldn't expect anything but first class from Mr. Moser!

Swampa · 05-13-2012, 05:40 AM
