by Marv Meyer

[@MrDaveGeneric]

Son, you had better cherish the time with that old fellow there..! Listen to what he has to say, and learn what he happens to teach.... a true craftsman and Artist... your work is awesome.

[@marvmeyer6659]

thats cool... thanks

[@randomidiot50]

A true craftsman works with speed and precision, he has both

[@clintezell3298]

AWESOME !!!! YOU KNOW HES A PRO BY HOW SMOOTH HE WORKS, WONDERFUL TO WATCH AN ARTIS OF HIS CRAFT WORK !!!!!

[@mookie2000mhhs]

Dude, spend as much time as possible with that man. Turning and blacksmithing, nice. I stayed by my grandpa's side growing up (diesel mechanic), rarely do I need to pay an auto shop bill.

[@marvmeyer9179]

That's a cool replay...Thanks

Большое спасибо за это видео! Браво мастер! Приятно смотреть на работу профессионала!

[@pikeevans8559]

That was amazing....Now can you do one that explains everything. Drill bit sizes. Length of wooden pieces. where you get the reed...etc.?

[@richardsnailham3602]

Just class from start to finish! Practice really does make perfect! Very impressive!

[@iliketheorangecheese]

You can tell he knows what he's doing. Nice work!!

[@RBush-id8zm]

The way this guy treats his tools and equipment is something else. Hard to believe he's still got all his digits.

[@marvmeyer9179]

And I still have all my fingers!

[@chrischandler5137]

Organized through disorganization, love it!! Lol

[@troyt9007]

That was awesome. I like the two-part design on the insert. I have made a few, but have been all one piece. your way looks much easier, and sounds great. Great video. Thank you

[@ccbayless556]

my son and I watched..we both agree that you're awesome! love the video!

[@marvmeyer9026]

+Chris Bayless That's good to here. Marv

[@cjsmoochie9136]

That was amazing. I don't know much about wood working but I'm a waterfowl hunter and I want to start turning out my own calls

[@georgedonatelli4962]

That was great pretty fast don't know if I caught it all but a very good demo loved it

[@ipscjoe]

Marv you are a treasure please keep making videos.......I am a call maker and collector and love the calls I have of yours........wish I could get a slingshot or a carved hammer though :) Joe Reinsch

[@jacobmcneal9144]

That was awesome, and I bet it smells amazing. Fresh cut wood is like heaven to my nose!

[@marvmeyer6659]

[@basodaoglu]

[@stevenrose5831]

Looks like youve done this a time or two. You blew throw that. Id still be truing up the barrel. You have everything in order, everything at arms reach. I hope someday ill be this good. You have this down pat. Great job.

[@japorterfield2200]

Tried to make a duck call one time with my Pa in his shop (he's got everything you have in you shop) we were just going to make the barrel of the call and put an echo insert into it. Cracked in half. I'd like to try it again sometime!

[@marvmeyer6659]

dodnt give up.... practice.. practice ...,.practice.

[@sheepdog457]

Impressive! Thanks Marv. I’m inspired and intimidated at the same time!

[@Hunterslife315]

[@marvmeyer6659]

Thanks young man

[@R3troZone]

This makes me miss my lathe.

[@marvmeyer9179]

my wife loves the Vikings.

[@evansparks8808]

Know this was a long time ago this video was made but I was wondering if there was anyway I could get you to make me one I'm wanting to get into duck hunting I'd like to go ahead and start to learn how to call and it be pretty cool to have one of your calls

[@marvmeyer9179]

Have some on ebay...I tough the highschools how to make duckcalls in woodshop class.

[@JLP75766]

Great work! You know your skill well.

[@John-li2eu]

Very Educational. Thank You.

[@carsonbanks1736]

I just want to know how he touched those drill bits directly after using them... I know that was hot

[@VanguardDrums]

asbestos hands probably

[@marvmeyer9179]

Keep them sharp and they wont get so hot

[@6comander643]

Amazing just wow you just made a homemade duck call that i would pay 100 dollars for in 10 mins i would pay just to learn how just wow

[@marvmeyer6659]

Thanks. 10 minutes of work and 50 years of experience.

[@6comander643]

marv meyer im 15 gonna buy a lathe soon or maybe a Christmas gift since i cant be out shooting ducks might as well make calls hahaha

[@marvmeyer6659]

6CoMaNdEr6 good luck with your new lathe...remember you will need a bench grinder sharpen your lathe tools... a $29.00 menards grinder will do just fine

[@6comander643]

marv meyer will do thanks for the advice will get back to you after i make my first call

[@craigw4628]

Very cool.

[@j.chrismcgaugh5124]

Wow! Great video Marv!

[@marvmeyer9179]

Thanks

[@ShortysShadow]

That was really cool. Thank you 😊

[@marvmeyer9179]

THANKS Hilary

[@tedweddell758]

Another jolly good show! You seem to have 2 profiles going... one for each video. I subscribed to both so I don't miss anything. What's the old lathe? I have a Jet 1236, your's looks a lot more heavy duty.

[@marvmeyer6659]

for some reason I count get them on the same subscription...its a 32 year old general lathe

[@Familyman530]

Very enjoyable to watch

[@marvmeyer9179]

Thanks

[@superj2201]

I think you should make another video about making a duck decoy

[@marvmeyer6659]

Good idea. I think I will do that. I have been carving decoys for 40 years.

[@denisconnelly390]

Awesome job.

[@marvmeyer9179]

Thanks

[@scottpetrie8707]

[@isaacflood6438]

[@izharkhan3747]

[@marvmeyer6659]

Start with what you have and move on forward

[@izharkhan3747]

marv meyer I don't know how to make one. thats why I asked you sir to make me one with your signature.

[@daletprescott3458]

I like your duck call. What was the tool you put in the chuck to hold your base? Also what bit did you have in the routor?

[@marvmeyer9026]

+Dale T Prescott.... that was a tool I made on the woodlathe . you could make one out of hardwood that would work just as good.... round bottom bit

[@mateosantamaria7464]

marv you're cool

[@bayoufowlduckcallsbojackso3763]

[@marvmeyer6659]

thanks Art.

[@dianeroulston5094]

awesome

[@beageek2]

Tell your Grandpa he is very kewl for doing this video. Do you think you could ask him to publish some dimensions to go along with this. I wasn't able to get a good feel on the drill dimensions or the sounding board. How wide was each piece? Regards, BAG2

[@kosworkshop]

Make more videos. PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

[@marvmeyer9179]

I'm working on it with my grandsons...Thanks for your interest!

[@noahling3725]

[@coletousignant2622]

[@stokersjunkie9488]

What wood Lathe do you use

[@marvmeyer9179]

Its on old General lathe.The speed control broke years ago and I have only one speed...About 1300 rpm

[@mateosantamaria7464]

why you dont send more videos?

[@Alpatriod]

Is the read a special material or just plastic

[@marvmeyer6659]

Mylar reed

[@thetayterminator1436]

Instead of "How to make a duck call" the title should be "Watch me make a duck call". Not trying to offend or anything its just that I cant really see what you were doing whenever your facing the camera and holding it close to your chest and doing idk too it. Because its smaller than your hand so all I can see is the back of your hands and all I can tell is that your fidgeting with something. I guess as far as taking a piece of lumber and making it into the shape of a duck call then you definitely did display that. Btw nice shop, I miss my man cave workshop. My parents moved and asked to use it as temporary storage, and that was a few years ago and I have absolutely nowhere else I could put it. One day ill get it back, soon I hope lol.

[@marvmeyer9179]

that's MY 14 YEAR OLD GRANDSON

[@ElTejanoFer]

do you sell duck calls as well sir?

[@esbirddog]

Does he sell duck calls?? Some of the finest artwork in the call business!! Google his calls, look on eBay, proud to own several!!

[@ElTejanoFer]

+esbirddog cool thanks!!!

[@larricusrefrigeratedtransp2465]

Damn if that was my grand pops I would perfect that craft he is giving out ask him if I could start making call with his equipment and put duck dynasty out of business go to the local stores in my County and ask if I could sale my Calls in there store at a my operational Break even point jus to see will they sell without taking a loss if they do good than start changing the store at a wholesale price if the sales are high jus to get my name out there then I’ll move to the County over repeat the same process until I have the state 🗣

[@marvmeyer9179]

My grand sons have made a few calls.They are more into sports then hunting.

[@sahiwalhunters1130]

Do u supply ?

[@marvmeyer9179]

Sometimes

[@sahiwalhunters1130]

@@marvmeyer9179 how much do u charge for it ?

Can I have ur number ?

[@marvmeyer6659]

[@paulspencer7401]

The woodturning was okay, you couldn't see what he was doing as far as the reed was concerned, not helpful if you have never seen a duck call.
