RE: how to make slate calls
find a good router to borrow and a straight bit...it's pretty easy, get some slate offline (exact sizes that way, and cheap) and then trace it out, and router it out, then cut out the size then glue in your slate (after making some sound holes ofcourse, and you can add some soundboards for better quality sound)...It's really simple.

Here is a source for call kits, probably better to start this way and sign up for wood shop in school.

I get my slate for 1.85 a piece, plus $1.80 shipping

They are very reasonable, just give them a buzz...
