The Art of Handcrafting Custom Game Calls > Deer Call Making Tutorials

This is how I make a deer call

(1/5) > >>

Bill:
This is the first tutorial I have done
After choosing the wood that I am going to use I cut 1 blank 3 ½ inches long and the other one 3 inches long.I find the center and mark it with a punch.



I then take the longer blank and drill a 7/8 hole 1 ¼ deep with a forstner bit.The center is now marked for the next step.I change to a 5/8 forstner bit and since it will only reach 2 inches I drill ¾ of an inch deep then change to a 5/8 drill bit and drill 1 1/8 deep,and now I change to a ½ inch bit and drill the rest of the way

 

I drill the shorter blank with a ½ hole all the way through

 

I turn the longer blank to my desired shape sand and finish and set off to the side



Now lets turn for the reed

 I make the blank round and measure in 1 inch from each end and mark with a pencile all the way around



I turn each end to make a 7/8 tennon 1 inch long .I use an open end wrench to keep checking for size


I use a caliper to check the size of what is in the center to match it with the barrel taper the ends of each tennon and put the O-ring grooves in



I use the plastic tube for a guide on where to put the O-ring  for the tube

I put in the O-ring grooves sand and finish,Set the reed and put the tube in place



Here are a couple pics of the finished call



A very comfortable mouth piece

Bill:
Could some one try and copy and paste this in their browser and see if it works

I probably screwed it up

That won't work Bill. That's just the path to where it is on your computer.

Bill:
