Great job!

Great job on your call, as an FYI you would add a soundboard to help aid in the roll over from clean high to lower rasp back end a real hen makes in an assembly yelp. The distance between the sound board and playing surface effects pitch, it needs to be about .088 or so. Closer and higher pitch with more rasp, further away and deeper sound. Too far away in either direction will get a bad sound. The thicker your call, the deeper the sound. Lighter striker, higher pitch and vice versa. .09 is a good thickness for soundboard and playing surface. 3.5 inches for playing surface and 3 inch for the sound board. 3/4" or just under for thickness of call. There are a lot more measurements that effect sound, but those are the basics.

Wow thanks for the info. I will definitely be making more and use some of these as guidelines, as well as do some more research.

Noble Savage Outdoors also get a saline type syringe and glue your call all the way around.

Thanks I have some old plastic dental syringes I have used for woodworking before that should work. Is there a reason for this? Will it change the sound? What's your experience? Thanks again always enjoy the feedback.

Wasn't able to connect this year either. Had one opportunity, but he followed a hen instead.

How thick was the slate. And what diameter was the block of wood?

I liked the sound of the one you just turned better than the Primos

Sounds great, your old one did to more older hen sound

Thanks. I think the old one was still a little too deep, even for a really old raspy hen.

how do you attach the pot to the lathe after its been cut down?

@NobleSavageOutdoors

Chase Utsey Sorry I guess I forgot to mention that I am using a chuck to mount the call to the lathe after I remove the faceplate with screws. This is a pretty standard and versatile way to attach things to the lathe because you can clamp on both the outside of a cylinder or the inside of a cut away cylinder. Chucks can be pricey depending on what style/brand you get but they are completely worth it if you plan on doing a lot of lathe work. My chuck is a SuperNova2, which is capable of turning some pretty heavy pieces but still at a reasonable price.

Where is the striker video? I can’t find it on your page?

@NobleSavageOutdoors

Sorry, I never ended up making a striker specifically for this call. The piece of wood I said I might use in the video would have had sap wood for the tip which I don't believe is the best for a striker because it isn't as hard as the heart wood. So I just used an old striker I had from a different call.

Yours sounds better. And when your in the woods a turkey call is deeper then a domestic turkey.

Thanks for the confidence booster! I am definitely no expert, but I like how mine sounds also!

I don’t have a lathe. I’ve been meaning to get one for about 30 years. Anyways, does it have to be round? What if it was square?

@NobleSavageOutdoors

2 жыл бұрын

I can't see why a square one wouldn't work as long as the wall thickness is the same. Might have to play around with different sizes. I've never seen a square slate turkey call. That would be interesting for sure.

Guess it would be harder to “carve “ out the inside. I’ll think about it. Thanks for the reply

@NobleSavageOutdoors

I wouldn't carve it out. I would build it up. Start with a square block of whatever thickness you want, and glue sides on it that are the same thickness. You can router and table saw in a relief edge on the sides so the slate will sit down in flush. If you miter those sides at a 45, it will look very clean.

Make and model of the saw

Aluminum is a better conductor than copper

@NobleSavageOutdoors

4 жыл бұрын

By weight, but that doesn't translate to most practical uses of conductors. Typically when comparing conductivity it makes much more sense to compare using the same diameter of wire rather than the same weight.

@JohnThreeTwelve

Strictly from an electrical engineer standpoint, aluminum has nowhere near the conductivity of copper. Its not even in the same ballpark. js. As a callmaker, and someone who associates with many other callmakers, most of us use stainless steel wire for burn decor. Its cheap, and very strong. I have an old hacksaw frame I use to attach my wire to. It keeps my hands away from harm if something goes wrong. Just trying to help. Also, a soundboard will greatly improve 99.9% of calls, excluding cluck/purr mini pots. Experiment with distances from 1/16" to 3/16" from playing surface until you find the sound you prefer. Most of mine are between a tenth and an eighth of an inch apart. 3/32" glass likes it real close. 1/8" inch glass likes it around an eighth apart. The smaller the diameter of the pedestal, the raspier....wider equals more clarity. Most call makers choose to use 1/8" playing surface shelf and same 1/8" distance from sidewall to soundboard. I personally use 3/16" on both, and have some of the nastiest 'bitch hen' super raspy calls you've ever heard. I also use pure silicone to glue up, despite all the criticism of silicone, I have customers still using calls I made in the mid 90's, and they still play well. I do not clamp my soundboards or playing surfaces. I use a 5oz. can of carnation evaporated milk to weight my soundboards for 6 hours, then glue in playing surface, and use same weight for 24 hours, but the fully cured time is around 72 hrs, and thats the time when whatever sound you have, is what it will be from now on. Its been working for 30 years. Black locust, Ipe, macassar ebony, bocote, and osage are my top 5 striker woods regardless of surface. Cluck/purr pots prefer cedar or poplar. Hope this helps someone. God bless.
