Hey man, awesome videos! I Just got a wood lathe for Christmas and I want to start make some duck calls. Are they're any must have attachments that you recommend. And I have never used a wood lathe, only huge metal lathes. Thanks for any tips! Keep up the beautiful work!

Thank you so much for the video! Could you please tell me the dimensions of the barrel and and the insert? Thanks.
@DrakeDropperCalls8 жыл бұрын
+Gregory Smirnov Glad you enjoyed it. The dimensions of my calls are particular to mine. A good starting point would be 3 inches for the barrel and 4 inches for the insert. Play with the dimensions to find your own sound. Best of luck.

So a 3/4 would be a bit small? Prolly need to stick with at least a 1 in square

Hey! I run the rip city outdoors page on Instagram and Twitter and wanted to ask a few questions. We're in the process of turning calls ourselves but just wanted to know what do you finish your wood calls with? And where do you get your bands personalized? Thanks
@DrakeDropperCalls8 жыл бұрын
+David White The two finishes I use are velvit oil or a CA finish. Bands are from Ron Gould and engraving I use a local shop.

It was originally a lathe from harbor freight but over the years it now has different motor better bearings different tail stock it's a bit of a Frankenstein.
