Flat work is a necessary evil! How else are you gonna display all those fine turnings...

I almost exclusively use my skew chisels in making my turkey call pots. I cut my "blanks" for my calls using a 4" hole saw, but I hollow out the pot with a skew and turn the profile for the...

Don't forget the little bit of light machine oil on the gear teeth also.

I have both digital (Mititoyo) and dial (analog) [Brown & Sharpe, Mititpto and el-cheapo Harbor Freight) calipers.

I knew you were ribbing ol' D - just had to throw a jab atcha for old time's sake!

Been making Calls & Pens. Been doing workshop pencils for a gal at work. Those things are really fun to do.

Here's my best Christmas Present in a Very, Very Long Time!

I would like to start a website for my turkey calls, turnings and other woodworking items.

Anyone know if the free hosting sites will be okay or should I stay away from them.

Thanks,

The manufacturer's label looks like Walker-Turner to me.

Anyway, a lot of old wood lathes had saddles available for light duty metal work and it looks like you've got one of them.

Have fun with...

My wife, Karen, has decided to try her hand at carving.

She has a couple of beginner books, but still needs a little more help as teh directions in the books are confusing her. We were wondering...

Vaughn,

I'm not very experienced with box calls, but I'll try to help. You want to pay attention to the grain direction of the sides - you want it runing lengthwise and you want relatively...

Been in the woods turkey hunting (or rather getting Busted by the turkeys, LOL!!!!)

Afternoons have been spent in the woodsop making more turkey calls. Made my first box call, check this thread...

Jim,

You are right that you slide the paddle across the top of the side rails to create tha scratching yelp sound that a hen turkey makes. The angle, pressure and speed at which you do this...

I made my first box call this weekend. I used Rosewood for the handle and bottom and Purpleheart for the sides and ends. It is a glued call, I followed Chip Brown's Plans from his website...

Here's what I did with antler and a .308 shell.

Thanks Mark!!

A friend of mine on another forum (a hunting forum) saw my calls and wanted me to make him a couple custom one's for his collection.

One he wanted from Purpleheart with a slate calling surface and...
