Things I enjoy; The porous texture of the wood and agave fire tornadoes, the various shop sounds (running wingnuts down w/ a lazy push of the finger is never not satisfying), and lastly, all these aforementioned subtleties would be lost if you didn't silently emote the whole thing. Subbed for more.
I never knew how labor intensive it was to craft a didgeridoo, And yours are truly works of art! I'll have to save up to get one of yours. thanks for making this video for us!
Flipante vaya curro! He hecho alguno echándole muchas horas y días sin tanto recurso con fuego y cincel es un proceso bonito pero este tío es un experto, vaya crack!, he flipado con lo de la piña para la boquilla, felicidades por el trabajo
So I watched the entire thing, this is some fantastic work, I'd love to get my hands on some Agave, quite the interesting process coring out that soft centre. Weld done!!!
Top job sounds great. I've made a few agave didgeridoos. I've always split them lengthwise, carved out the pith and reglued. Yours look way more professional 😁 Keep on didgin. ❤️
Would love to make my own Didgeridoo. Just spent a bunch of money on a Didgeridoo that i have to finish working on. Almost choked on a wood splinter while playing it for the first time. I also want to remove the moldy looking water damage on the bell a well. That's what i get for buying a didge on Amazon 🤷♂️.
Wow, what a lot of work, but the end result is by far worth it! I love how you used the same colour of the mouth piece resin, to seal the holes in the trunk all the way down to the bulb! Are they always red, or do you make them with other colours? Have you ever tried using hyper shift colours in your resin mouthpieces? That would be a cool way to seal a didgeridoo to use Hyper Shift Colors to create the mouthpiece and seal the sections of the trunk that needed it and perhaps to color the bulb? Just a suggestion, but I must say your work is amazing and the didgeridoo is such a fascinating instrument, how you play it is a mystery to me but the sound it produces is beyond compare!
I don’t know what the hell that thing is or what it’s used for but it’s beautiful. Very interesting device, I think it would sound really neat in the Alps but I think i would tire of hearing it for long inside at a concert. Maybe it’s an Australian instrument that their ancient ancestors would play all night when they couldn’t sleep, and start the next war riding kangaroo back swinging bolos.
Yes, it's an Australian indigenous instrument. Though bolos and such weren't usually a tool used by us. Spears and use of a woomera (a spear throwing device) etc were far more common. We didnt ride kangaroos though. Making yidaki (the proper name for a didgeridoo) is a spiritual process (be interested to know which one of our mob taught these guys), and has a whole host of traditions and rules that go with it, as one example: a yidaki should never be touched or played by a woman who is still of 'child bearing age', in public, and never for ceremony or ritual purpose with some believing it will render them infertile. Didgeridoo is a slang/pigeon term created by white settlers, and they're correctly called 'Yidaki' and they're made from the Australian ironwood, or bloodwood trees typically - though other hardwood/gum species are used.
Yes.., as others have said, Nice job. Really nice job. These sounds resonate... inside. With everyone I've talked to about "The Doos" But I'm curious. How were these made by the Indigenous People? Without power tools and modern finishes, especially resins? Any links to traditional Doo making?
Beautiful work! A lot of skilled work and I love that sound! Did the old Aboriginals coat the inside of their instruments with something as you did and if so what did they use??
I think the reason he coated the inside of the wood is because agave is very soft and pithy, you want to keep the wood from absorbing moisture from you’re breath and softwoods like this and yucca would act as sponges without some sort of shellac
Making a didge has been on my bucket list for a long, long time. Getting hold of a nice length of eucalyptus round my part of the world is the biggest problem. I'd also entertained bamboo at one time, but finding someone willing to let go of a fat girth pole has also been, how to say, difficult. Agave is brilliant! Hmm!!
how to play: just say "walk into a wall" or "walking through the water". its harder than boots and cats with beat boxing! (sorry im really enjoying this video and have a weird sense of humor)
Awesome job man!! Looks like the wood structure of the agave is alot softer than a hard wood. I made a didgeridoo out of a 5' section of hard maple, marked the wall thickness to 1/4", ripped in half and carved out with a 40grit flap wheel, glued and banded together till solid... I can get an ok drone, but think I need to thin the walls out alittle as it doesn't seem to have "that nice" didgeridoo vibration... it's there ish but not quite... I also think the inside of the mouth piece I shaped, my lips kinda hit the inside walls abit in a spot or two... that could be an issue too.... What kinda profile should the mouth piece be? Perfect circle? Flare out, flare in?
I drill them out to 1 1/8" circle (bigger if the didge is lower than a C), then round the edge off for comfort. If your mouthpiece is too big for the stick (or not perfectly smooth), your lips will smack the edge a 100 time a minute. I've split my lip like that before, lol.
the didgeridoo is beginning to look a lot like one of those swiss mountain alpine horns .... i think the next natural evolution of the didge after the epoxy and power tools treatment is to cast didgeridoos out of molten aluminum .... lightweight longlasting and they don't rot
Oh I like your work-stand and the idea with the clamps to lift up the work piece...thinking I need to change up my stand. Great work by the way, I don't have access to Agave here in Muskoka, but I've done cedar and maple straight from my property (split method.)
Hey Brad, thanks for sharing your process man! Super creative and unique! What's that tool you use in 8:12 to work the top end of the bore? Wishing you a happy holidays!
nice video, beautyfull result, but please dont use Epoxy, we did this also years ago, but burning it kind of bushman style and reforcing it just with waterresist woodglue and linseed beewaxmix,it work even fine and more heathy,
@charliebowen5071 if you'd ever work with an agave stalk you'd know these nothing to pin into. In my testing, smashing the mouthpiece off with pins did far more damage than just gluing it on, and the strength was the same either way. 💪
That's amazing Guy! Sucess 💛
Thank you for showing the entire process. Just amazing. I am going to attempt to build one!
Excellent work, congratulations.
Greetings from Argentina.
Wow bro. Just wow
That is the most beautiful Didge I have ever seen! That mouthpiece!!!
Nice little tune at the end, shit is not easy
mate that is Beautiful
that thing would last a lifetime... holy cow, amazing work!
You don't know how ready this guy is
LOOKIN GOOD got some nice resin shine there
Dude, you are straight funky on the didgeridoo. That beat was nice.
Awesome song at end 🤙
Nice instrument, nice playing!
Beautiful instrument. The didgeridoo made it perfectly clear to me why my ancestors had bags attached to their instruments.
Absolutely LOVELY!!!❤❤❤❤
Super appreciate you showing us your process
Hello Brad what a awesome instrument I am interested in buying one of your do's
I have two available on Etsy at the moment 😊

I just saw this on my recommended said hey why not 😂😂😂
nice job,Brad!
Thanks!
WOW you have achieved something really great. Thank you and hope you make the great.
Fascinating work! Really enjoyed that
The pinecone mouth piece was a great idea. Thanks for sharing 👍
I never knew how labor intensive it was to craft a didgeridoo, And yours are truly works of art! I'll have to save up to get one of yours. thanks for making this video for us!
Lot less Labor involved if you do what the traditional makers did and look for logs eaten out by termites.
Well worth the wait!
GREAT JOB BRAD...keep it up..
Really liked this video, superb craftsmanship.
Woooooow nice didgeridoo. 👍

Fantastic! I’ve only made PVC ones.
Gotta start somewhere 😁
Amazing 👏love that sound
Awesome! Beautiful piece.
Absolutely beautiful

Soo Beautifuuulll!!!!!!
You knocked it out of the park with this one! Beautiful 😍. Cactus juice is some awesome stuff for stabilization. Composite mouthpiece was awesome
Thank you so much! Planning on doing more of these types of videos if it's popular enough.
So I watched the entire thing, this is some fantastic work, I'd love to get my hands on some Agave, quite the interesting process coring out that soft centre. Weld done!!!
Honestly! I am jealous of your talent-in making a didgeridoo. Something which I would love to do. Beautiful instrument....
Serious work and an amazing result! Beautiful!!!
Just finished watching, looks super nice at the end, and sounds great too.
Damn that was cool
Amazing stuff! Nice sound too
Beautiful!!
Absolutely amazing 💜
Wow, beautiful!!
Fabulous !
Top job sounds great. I've made a few agave didgeridoos. I've always split them lengthwise, carved out the pith and reglued. Yours look way more professional 😁
Keep on didgin. ❤️
On the contrary... split and hollow yields far better acoustics than drilling.
Drilling leaves too much sound-deadening pith inside the stalk.
@@MachuDidgeridoo yes that's what I found.. once again great work thanks.😁
Truly a beautiful instrument, bravo 👏 💚
Wonderful

Super!
That’s some good advertising right there

Noticed your Verbal Abuse tatoo 🤘🏻
That’s a huge one hitter
Amazing instrument, it's like an accoustic worm hole into past dimensions. (but - what is it with epoxy resin and UA-cam??)

part at the end would make a great sample
Nice work. I feel clear resin would allow more of the pinecone to be seen.
It would also allow all the spit to be seen 😅
Could you please let me know what cactus juice is used for? Love your work.
Sure, it's used to stabilize the wood's I use so they come out nice and bubble free during resin casting.
I have a very thick walled agave didge and love it! Can you make one of eucalyptus? And 432?
Possibly, we do restoration/ modification to older didges. Working on a set of eucalyptus sticks atm. Dm me for details.
Yes.., as others have said, Nice job. Really nice job.

I'd also entertained bamboo at one time, but finding someone willing to let go of a fat girth pole has also been, how to say, difficult. Agave is brilliant! Hmm!!
I was lucky, couple of weeks ago someone was throwing away loads of large girth bamboo so I picked one up long enough to make two didges.
how to play: just say "walk into a wall" or "walking through the water". its harder than boots and cats with beat boxing! (sorry im really enjoying this video and have a weird sense of humor)

Una pregunta esto pa que sirve saludos 🎅🔨🇪🇸
I live in apache junction where do I go for those biggins?
Go north.
All cool but where is the painting of it.
bagpipe: is 85% bag so the player has enough air to play continuously
didgeridoo: s t i c c
What does that pine cone do in the mouthpiece ?
Look gorgeous.
Hey Brad, thanks for sharing your process man! Super creative and unique! What's that tool you use in 8:12 to work the top end of the bore? Wishing you a happy holidays!
I use a variety of sharpened metal and carbon fiber tubes to smoothly punch out the top 6-10 inches.
@@EndlessBreathDidges that is a great idea! Where are you located?
@@sunrootbcbambooandcrystals Phoenix, Arizona.
@@EndlessBreathDidges I'll be giving a shakuhachi solo concert in Tucson on Jan. 21. If I have time, would love to meet you!
where do you get the agave from? i live in Yucca Valley and would think old yuccas would be easier to find lol
We do a yearly harvest in the northern mountains of AZ.
nice video, beautyfull result, but please dont use Epoxy, we did this also years ago, but burning it kind of bushman style and reforcing it just with waterresist woodglue and linseed beewaxmix,it work even fine and more heathy,
Would you mind sharing your recipe for the resign substitute?
cuanto cuesta uno asi ?
Thought he was going to make a cool lamp

hye man how much your handmade didgeridoo?
Check out our store at endlessbreathdidges.etsy.com 👈
This is what we do?^^
What kind of tree is that
It’s made from the stalk of the agave plant.
The guy that made that was a Didgeri-Dude
13:08 what was that? What’d you say?
It's just me breathing through my face mask 😷
أكبر سبسي فالعالم !!!!!
So muss eine Zahnbehndlung aussehen die fast selben Geräusche und danach klungen tut es schon.
Zumindest die (künstliche) Herstellung
So you sell these and you have wood filler in all the voids?!?
And no pins in the mouth piece which is rule one when joining two flat surfaces
@charliebowen5071 if you'd ever work with an agave stalk you'd know these nothing to pin into. In my testing, smashing the mouthpiece off with pins did far more damage than just gluing it on, and the strength was the same either way. 💪
