So I just picked up my first lather the other day. A JET mini 1014. Price was right, so I jumped on it. It came with a Nova Midi chuck. So far, thats all I got. What else am I gonna need and where can I get the stuff to eventually turn out a call? What re you guys running for chucks, mandrels, collets, gouges, ect? Whats the speed to turn calls at?? Completely new to this, but I look forward to having ANOTHER hobby.

I have been making duck call barrels for some time and enjoying it.You will need a 5/8 expanding mandrel to make duck call barrels. Goose calls or start to finish duck calls need a lot more things stepped mandrels, insert jig, 3 jaw chuck and more odds and ends things
