We teach duck call making for beginner woodturners at the MacLachlan Woodworking museum. During the course we make two calls. Your first is just the barrel with a purchased insert from Echo Calls, the second call is made entirely by your with a wood turned insert and supplied reed. Our marketing expert, Amy, decided she wanted to give it a go. This is her first time behind a lathe and, clearly, her first time blowing a call... Checkout our website, woodworkingmuseum.ca for more information on all the workshops we offer!

Tink Tank is a tinkering program developed for the MacLachlan Woodworking Museum (Kingston, ON). This edition was run with a group from Community Living Kingston and focused on designing and building a shelter that could hold an adult off the ground and cover their head, somewhere on the grounds of the museum. See how experimentation, problem solving and collaboration moulded Tink Tank: Shelters.
