Hi guys....I know I have been a little quiet....been working on a new concept for me, as well as a few new things.
I have been trying to build a "Modular" call system...I think I have it. I will post a few pics, ya'll please tell me if you think I am out in left field....sometimes my "Creative juices" get to flowing and......well, never mind...
I will post a few pics, and keep in mind all these are interchangeable...so it is possible to go from a single or double reed duck call, to an open or closed reed predator call, or magnum coaxer, by simply changing the inserts. I have tried to make the materials "mix and match", and if I am not off my rocker, will be adding more materials.
These pics are in no particular order. The black colored items are buffalo horn, the silver snake items are pearlized acrylic, and the clear items are polycarbonate.
Please let me know if you feel this concept is worth pursuing...
All buffalo horn...

Joe like all of it and the concept :congrats:
I do how ever think the clear plastic looking piece in the last pic takes away from your set. Kinda looks like ya threw something production in with a whole lot of nice custom. :wink:

I didn't miss it IP.....I was just IGNORING it!!! :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: It is getting a little quiet around here....scary huh?? :confused:
You cant ignore me :biggrin:
Joe, they're great calls. I like the concept.
Brian.
Joe, You do damn nice work there fella. Wish I had your talent. I have been toying with the idea of buying a little lathe but don't know the first thing about them. I like your calls a lot. Pretty first class calls and sound great. :yoyo:
WoW thanks Jerry....that means a lot!! it sincerely does :bowingsmilie:
As to the lathe, get one!! If I can learn it ( still learning every day), most anyone can. As many calls as you have used and your knowledge of what works and what doesn't, you would make an awesome builder.
Go for it, and if I can help ya in any way...call me!!!
Joe
