Tuning...coming soon!

[fargobox]

Thought I would post a few pics of me grinding it out in the shop this weekend and to let y'all know it don't happen by waving a magic wand .  Well, actually it does and the guy in these pics is really my stunt "magic elf" double.   ROTFLMBOIn these pics I am tuning several calls and truth be told this process is bitter sweet.  If I have done all the right steps up to this point the calls 'should' tune, well...relatively easy, but honestly that only happens once every 7-10 calls.  On the other hand, when you do get them tuned...it shear satisfaction and excitement when feathers leap out of the box!  After a point my ears get saturated and I have to step away so they can 'freshn' up, but no problem though, there are always 30 other steps in the build process I can work on, like sanding, sanding and well, more sanding .  Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

There's no way you work there, It's to clean. Your right about box calls and the tuning. It drives me nuts but when you get it right.

Your shop is too clean Scott. But I would sure like to go through that wood rack.

Steve,

I/m kinda fussy about a clean shop while I work...it's pretty small and I need every square inch workable, but also once all the bulk work is done on a batch of calls I clean up before I start tuning.

That wood is one of two racks like that and it doesn't include any of my blanks..there actually is a few key pieces in there for you, some nasty stinkin french cheese smellin stuff harder than granite wood
