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???
-
all of the above.. :-\
-
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*
-
Sanding sux!! >:(
-
I hate waiting for stuff to dry, namely glue and most finishes.
-
No doubt- finish sanding
-
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.

I like it all or I wouldn't do it .the best part is when I get run that new turkey call worth all the work .
-
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.

Making 1-siders! *cry*

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.
-
Inlaying, drawing out my checkering lines, and sanding the radius on lids
-
Sanding sux!! >:(
I second that.

I like all of it .But there is parts that I do dislike. It is best that I score each call 1 thur 10 10 being the best that i like
short boxes and long boxes 10 RkLu
purr and cluck pot 10 RkLu
pot calls / glass & slate 9 :)
scratch boxes 9 :)
turning custom strikers -01 *cry*
-
I have to say tuning, I'm tone deaf and have to look for sounds that make my inner ear do things like pop,thump,crack,ect. I'm not a good judge of over all sound in a call and that makes it tough for me, so I have to rely on others to give me honest feedback.
-
just getting started and even worse I'm working and someone bothers me to do something else....cuz it was hard to get started in the first place.......... >:(
none of the turning bothers me......
finished a trumpet today.......I'm glad I got off my arse and did it........now I just need to do many more......
happy new year!!!!

Getting myself motivated to start. I have not built a call in 6 months and don't care. Don't know why. Just the way it is. Maybe it will come back.

Same here, maybe it's got something to do with the bass boat I bought last spring? *wha*
-
I like it all. Sanding large batches is a little boring sometimes but, I grin with each one when ready for playing. ;D
-
Definitely turning strikers! But for some reason I still usually send more than one hand turned striker with each call
*stu*

Drilling a perfect hole in an ivory mouthpiece!!!! This exercise has given me a vast collection of drills in all configuations of flutes, points, polish and lengths.

That's probably only going to get worst with the rising cost of ivory!!!!

Waiting for finish to dry....and trying to keep a dust free finish zone.
