Aluminum grunt call...

[David @ Mad Duck Game Calls]

Yes, I really did make an ALUMINUM grunt call!! I am warning you now, don't EVER do this!! It took me over 7 hours to make this, not counting the time it took to make the aluminum toneboard, twice.....  I might even have to make another one, but not now... lol.  It's the same size as my standard grunts, it just weighs ALOT more!!






It looks scratched up in the pics but it really isn't....
Thanks for lookin'!

Wow, David... I'm impressed!  Looks great!  And just think, when you call in that deer, you can use your grunter to beat him into submission!  LOL

[David @ Mad Duck Game Calls]

Thanks!!!!  I just might be able to beet one to death, with the trail cam pics we've been getting I could probably just look throw a stick and kill one of them..... LOL!

[Rick Howard]

Cool.  I'm impressed also. 

[David @ Mad Duck Game Calls]

ive made some aluminum goose calls . i feel your pain

[David @ Mad Duck Game Calls]

Yep! It sucks to turn! I tried all of my tools, every angle I could think of and every speed on the lathe, NOTHING helped!!!

That's slick David. Nice job!

[David @ Mad Duck Game Calls]

Thanks! I think I need to put it back on the lathe and polish it again, It isn't shiny enough.....

If you really want a shine go to Harbor Freight and buy their aluminum buffing kit.  http://www.harborfreight.com/14-piece-aluminum-polishing-kit-98707.html

The good news is you can get a shine like it's a mirror.  The bad, it is not a wood buffing kit you need different compounds and the wheels are not the best either.
