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.  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:
