How To Make Turkey Calls – Crucial Step By Step Guide Without Spending Too Much Money

Article by Bill Murphy

Any professional turkey hunter will tell you that having your own turkey call is a great asset in hunting. However, calls for turkey that are available in the market do tend to be too costly. The more realistic sound your call produces, the greater chance you will have of catching a turkey. Luckily for you, below is a step by step guide on how to make turkey calls without spending too much money.

Step 1

The first turkey hunting tips is to gather the necessary materials. Different calls for turkey are primarily made from dry wood. If you do not want to spend money on buying the wood, you can just use any old furniture that you rarely use anymore. Table tops and legs bear much potential for turkey call-making.

If you have funds to spare, you can also buy the wood from your local hardware or wood shop. For best results, stick to the walnut, cherry, maple, mahogany, basswood, and poplar variety. The different types produce different sounds. As far as how to make turkey calls is concerned, you need to experiment with various types until you find the tone that you prefer the most.

Step 2

After getting enough wood to make your turkey call with, you may now start cutting them up into smaller pieces. Use a band saw or any similar equipment to cut the wood into broad pieces that are a quarter and eighth of an inch thick.

If you do not plan to assemble your turkey calls right away, find a dry place to keep all these pieces in. Take them out when you decide to show your family and friends how to make turkey calls.

Step 3

To make the most common type of calls, you need to construct a box. Use a ¼ of an inch thick piece for the bottom and the 1/8 of an inch pieces for the sides. Cut recessed channels at the base part and use them to make the sides as stable as possible.

Step 4

For your DIY call to produce a tone, you need to cut a curve at the edges of the box’s sides. To get the best results and the loudest sounds, make curves that reach from one end to another. You should end up with pieces that are ¼ of an inch higher at the center.

Step 5

The last step on how to make calls to turkey is this: cut a hole at the bottom of the box and insert a screw and a coil between the end block and the paddle. The paddle will scrape the top edges of the sides, which will then produce the turkey call, while the spring will stabilize the whole contraption.

DIY how to guides question by urban_explorer14: Shipping container homes?
I have known about them for a while, but, I now have a job, and I am just toying with the idea of buying land and building my own home. Just playing around with the idea, I have heard of people buying used shipping crates for considerably small amounts of money, and then turning them into homes.

I just searched for more information on shipping crate homes, and all I really found were a few pictures, and some basic information on shipping crates, shipping company’s, and interesting, but not-so-helpful information.

I want to know what to DO with a crate once I bought one. How do you anchor it safety to the ground? How do you add siding and a roof, to make it blend in with other “normal” wood frame homes. (If thats what I wanted to do).

What about plumbing and electrical? Abstract shapes? Like a rounded tower, instead of the square boxes???? How well does the steel do underground?? (An interesting basement if we buried them). Stuff like this I want to know much more about. Can they be made to look like normal homes from the inside? Instead of looking like the interior of the death-star?

Basically, I am very interested in this idea that, perhaps it is possible to buy several cheap metal frames, and still come out with a cool lookin home. If anyone has more information on actual DIY construction guides for this type of thing, I would be very thankful if you would share that information with me. Thank you for your time

And I thought I had heard of every type of home. I would wonder what shape the crate would be in when a shipping company is willing to sell it. I know what shape truck-trailers are in when they are sold for $ 3,000.00 (the lowest I have seen at auction).

I wish you good luck, I am sure they could be used, just would require a lot of retro work.
