What part do you dislike the most?
« on: December 31, 2013, 07:28:44 AM »
After the last 2 days of cutting the ends off wingbones, boiling them down and getting them ready to be made into wingbones, I concluded this was the part I hated the most. Turning a lipstop was second! As call makers, what is the part of your call making that you dislike the most? Cutting them out, sanding them, tuning them, finishing......what???

I don't like making pot calls that much. 
I despise making box calls after I broke my thumb cutting a lid.
I unlike most call makers LIKE making strikers.  *lol*

I hate waiting for stuff to dry, namely glue and most finishes.

For me, it's probably drilling the trumpet bodies. I have to drill into each body 7 different times, so it's a lot of bit changing and such. I hate the finishing too, but that's because I'm so picky about getting it perfect.

Given my 'old school' techniques I don't care for the monotony of hogging out the bodies of box calls, but other than that I love all other aspects, especially sanding ;D

We all do it for the end results!! It's the passion of building something that will call in a turkey!!

I am another that really struggles thru with the final sanding.  Too picky I think sometimes.

What I hate the Most... 
The 40 hours a week I miss building calls.
The top 2 on the list would have to include The Lack of Funds and Pricing.
Without one the other becomes a big problem.
