December Workbench

[Eric Patterson]

I am in the home stretch now. All that is left is to put the finish and decals on them. I've been working on the build videos the entire time so that is just about complete too. I'm really glad I took this project on. I expanded my repertoire with the patternmaker lathe and made some jigs I can use on future projects.

Wow, those look great. Getting close to the finish line always feels good. Of course, you will need appropriately scaled lanyards and bands. That might take a minute.

Those are super cool Eric

SJ & Jode

Thanks. They are actually working calls which was my plan all along but I wasn't sure if I could get them to blow properly since they have a giant tone board and reed. They do. Now I've got to come up with a lanyard of sorts.

Eric, are Hambone calls still in production. Have not heard that name since high school when they were the must have call if you hunted at Swan Creek.

Scott

They are not. C.H. Amaden passed away a number of years ago. The calls have risen in value substantially so if you have one take care of it.

 

[ScottCK]

I have one but it is lost in one of the boxes of unused stuff somewhere…..

 

[Anthony Babich]

Wow that is cool!
