Thanks I appreciate the kind words!!! Now if I can just find time to do a tutorial on how I make my strikers we'd really be in buisness!

I really like this approach. Does the PSI chuck short for Penn State Industries?

A great way to make a pot call with a 4 jaw if you have the pin jaws. PSI tends to send the pin set free these days.

Any updated thoughts to this method Mac?

Still my favorite way to make a pot call. Interesting you brought this thread up top as just  I made 3 of them recently with this method. Starting out its a cheap way to make them as you don't need mandrels and or collet chuck. You are correct about the pin jaws aswell. My set from psi came with them I have the barracuda 2 set. The other nice thing about the 4 jaw set I have is I can make 2 piece  strikers with it aswell.

I agree. When I feel like using my 4 jaw (prepared to watch mu knuckles), I just get out the one with the pin jaw set, and I can do the striker head, and the call just with that chuck.

I am confused about the pedestal. Is it a dowel rod that you used to fill the center hole? Just curious I have had some folks ask me to make them one and would like to make them one and one for my self as well. :xmas:

This style call uses no center hole the jaws are grabbing the inch or so pedestal you make inside the pot itself

Steel Rain, most folks prefer a sound board in their calls.  It helps to resonate the sound more, keeping the call from being flat, or hollow.

The pedestal is where the sound board is glued to.  It is VERY important when this gluing takes place that the sound board is not touching the inside walls of the call.  I prefer a 3" round double weight glass sound board in single side setups.  I like a 3" slate sound board for a double sided caller.

Does the pedestal touch the sound board or is the sound board glued to it, do you put a pc of glass under the spond board for strength??
Need some help
