Just a few tips. Fostner bits are great for drilling and you won’t need any lube and less blow out on the exit, also move your tool rest a little closer to your work and it will stop all the chatter. Great job!
Beautiful work. I'd recommend moving that tool rest to within 1/4" of your work piece. It'll cut way down on the tool bouncing and give you more control. Also, watching you working on the lathe without any eye protection really make me cringe. If you are not blind already, please consider some safety glasses or better yet, a face shield.
It all depends on the material it's made of and how much of a custom build you get or the collectibility of it. But for the better calls out there (Land'nGear, RNT, Echo, JJ Lares, ect), you're looking at $80 or so for wood and $140 or so for acrylic.
Yes sir. He makes his own tone boards out of resin and sleeves the acrylic for the tone board to go into the insert. I actually prefer them over a fully acrylic tone board for a couple of reasons. One, the reed doesn't hang when you're blowing the call nearly as much! And two, you don't have to worry about scratching or breaking the tone board like you do with an acrylic tone board. And it doesn't affect the sound at all. Its a win, win in my opinon.
@@f5outdoors956 Interesting! I've never heard of that but he makes a great sounding call so it's definitely working for him. The video was awesome. Did it have metal inlays before the caps? I couldn't quite tell.
@@randonprochnow3125 I agree buddy! I had never seen it either, but I really like it and think it's an awesome idea! The metal inlays were not already in there, he added those in along with the white tips. I didn't realize I left that part out.
