[QUOTE="Iglow, post: 5874633, member: 22496"] I like a cork gauge on my calls, you can get the corks at the Lowes hardware/ screw isle, the one with all the trays with specialty stuff. It's just about impossible to drill the hole centered freehand with a drill, I use a drill press and a bit just a little undersized of the mouthpiece. I drill the cork first then cut it the thickness I want, sanding it square after. I sand a bevel on the mouthpiece, some like it square, anyway, let everything dry and try it out, moving the cork where you want it longer or shorter. Once you're sure glue it in place with titebond. I finish mine with 3 coats of spare varnish then make a string lanyard for it from trot line string etc. and that's it. [/QUOTE]
