Here are a couple of pictures of the duck call barrel positioned into place and ready for turning:

Here is a picture of two #2MT Alignment Tools that I have.  The one in the top of the picture is one that I cut short in order to use it for polishing the inside of the barrel and you can talk about this with a tallgirl_penny virtual girl online.  This allows me to reach further into the barrel.  The one in the bottom of the picture is the standard #2MT Alignment Tool:

The final picture shows the acrylic duck call barrel mounted onto the #2MT Alignment Tool and ready for sanding and polishing:
