Handcrafting Custom Duck Calls / Re: Tone board volume question
« Last post by Wes on October 23, 2019, 11:47:41 AM »Go get some 5/8 dowel rods cut those to length and make your tone boards out of that . No use using good expensive wood practicing . Keep good notes as to what happens when you do this or that and you will figure it out. Then you can go back to good wood with a better idea of what you are doing.

If you get it too long used some filler to cut the length and see where you go.

Handcrafting Custom Duck Calls / Re: Tone board volume question
« Last post by T. Stauffer on October 22, 2019, 11:56:42 AM »Thanks for the info! I ran in to a whole new issue attempting to get more sound. I tried filing down the tone board to create more distance between the reed and the toneboard and that has caused it to lock up completely... I cant get any decent sounds out of it at all now... I am thinking I will need to start from scratch now.
It just doesn't make sense to me that I took a call that sounded fairly decent and tried to widen the gap between the toneboard and reed and now its completely locking up... I would have thought the opposite would have occurred.

Handcrafting Custom Duck Calls / Trolls?
« Last post by RSmalleyLLGC on October 22, 2019, 08:22:34 AM »I am rather new to the call making business. I have sold quite a few calls through posting on different Facebook pages. I have been contacted by multiple people who claim they work for guide services and know a bunch of people in the industry that can make my "call career" expand. They say they really like my calls, and want a few sent to them to display for their clients and would make orders, and then send back my calls, so I can reproduce the exact call for their clients.
Am I being trolled? I obviously would not just send off finished calls without some type of payment. I know there are hunters out there that ask for free gear/calls and claim they will advertise their calls for them. I just want to know if any of you have pursued these types of offers, or if i should tell these people to kick rocks.
Thanks!
