Last weekend brent, frank and I visited a good friend of ours, Jeff McKamey. It was certainly a hoot hangin out with those guys and a weekend I will never forget! After some laughs and a few mishaps we began making turkey calls. Jeff was nice enough to let us build our own calls in the Twisting Creek shop and I soon realized why his calls come out sounding soooo good!. It took me some lengthy thinkin but I finally came up with a combo I wanted to use. I chose butternut and wanted to top it off with canarywood but with a different twist--ebony as the inlay since I hadnt seen that before on that combo--and soon realized why!!! That ebony gave me some fits and after ruining a few paddles Jeff stepped in and came up with an idea to fix the problem. After some sanding and getting the lid on and chalked up and put together--she had a yelp with plenty of rasp and rollover that brought the biggest smile to my face. After a little tuning and sips of apple pie shine, McKamey had he singin the way she made to do! I cant thank him enough for his guidance and letting me build my first call--one that I will always remember and carry in my vest. I named her "Shine On"
thanks Jeff!

Yep.... Joe is hooked for sure! Already putting a list of "must have tools" to get started. Convincing the wife there needed and ready to move her car out of the garage to make room for a shop. Good luck with that one Joe!!

Joe you can keep a drillpress at my place if you need to! *up* Just make sure you get a good one!!

Joe, Get on Craig's list and keep it at your place, wait, UPS delivers, just get one of the ones going to Brent place. He has 20 of them now!

Congrats Joe on catching the bug of call making. That call rocks for sure and you were right to keep it under lock and key. Brent really had his eyes on that one....He has been known to kidnap calls from time to time. *up*

You mean a *aah*DogHouse *aah*

sorry Brent, it would be smarter just to rent one from you instead of me buying one and keeping it over there and get confused on which of the 30 to use. you have quite an assembly line going on over there--i saw a conveyor belt system coming thru UPS and had your address on it--guess that your next plans--smart thinking.
-
brent hold that thought--gonna do some craigslist searchin, if i come across a few items and have to ask ya to hold on to them for me for a few till i get my garage stretched or another house--whats your storage fee--or maybe take it out on trade for some apple pie??? *cheers*
