Pot Call Anyone

Recommended Posts

This has nothing to do with vinyl or sign making. But I wanted to show what I do in my spare time. These are a couple pot calls ( turkey calls ) that I poured and turned a while back. I love this type of work almost as much as sign making. ;D

 

Thanks for looking.

Very cool.  What do you mean by pouring & turning?

WOW

I read the title and saw the pictures.  My mind went completely into the gutter and I thought "How the hell do you smoke through that?"

These start out as a liquid. I mix and pour them into a mold.( I use poly resin.) Then I turn them on my lathe to the size I want. I can make just about any color that a person would want. I did a couple the other day for a guy that wanted his school colors.

That is very cool.  My son & I were into turning pens and such several years back.  It was fun, but we only needed so many pens!

Poured this one Monday. Turned it Thursday. Pulled the clamps off after the glue dried today.

Was trying for camo.. I think this is close as I can get with the colors that I have.

That is very cool work, for sure.  Could you make a mold with a 3D printer?  Is the mold a special type of material, or simply a form that has a release agent applied before pouring in the liquid - like spraying a cake pan with Pam?

I think this one is getting closer to camouflage. I still have got to do some polishing on it. When I poured this in the mold it was fun. Five colors in one pour....

Thanks for looking...

I still haven't forgotten this project!  Is the mold destroyed or reusable?

Being camouflage ought to help with repeat business!

The mold is reusable. I made it out of on of the white cutting boards from Sams.
