I've taken a good amount of time off call making due to a number of reason. However, I've really come to like the sound and function of a LA style call and was thinking about putting one of those together, but I've hit a road block I'm not sure how to get around.
The insert is drilled to 1/2" for the guts and a 1/2" mandrel for the shape is no problem, but what about the barrel? If I do a friction fit, it will have to be larger than 1/2", but smaller than 5/8", so I'm at a loss how these are turned.
Any help?
