Hello,
I'm a poor college kid that cannot continue to purchase store bought diaphragm calls. So, I have decided to build my own jig and am going to start building my own calls. I am kind of looking for just a "Quick Start" beginner's guide to building a decent call to just get me started. I've looked at .0025", .003", and .004" thick latex. Is there a certain thickness I should focus on first to start off? Are you supposed to use two different thicknesses of latex for a two reed call or does it not matter? Also, could you give me an idea of how much tension I should put on the latex? Any other beginner tips you could give to me before I purchase my materials or start building?
Please, I am not looking for any of your special call making secrets. I just want the very basics. I am just a bored college student trying to save some money and maybe to kill a turkey if I get lucky. Thanks!
