    My grandfather made one for me when i was a kid. I was thrilled. I still have that very whistle today...40 or so yrs later.

    I'd been racking my brain trying to remember how my daddy taught me to do this!!! Thank you so much for posting it.

    It’s important to do this in the spring when the bark is wet between the main part of the wood otherwise it’s too hard to loosen.

      During fall and winter can we soak the wood in water to loosen it up?

      My grandpa also used to make wooden whistles for my sisters and I. I could never remember what type of tree and what time of year to make them though. Memories I hold near and dear to my heart and clearly I’m not alone in this. I’m sure you miss your grandfather as much as I miss mine.

    Well done sir! Almost exactly how my old man showed me to do it some forty years ago in Norway.
    He stressed that you must allways make the mouthpiece in the thin end of the stick so that the bark wont crack when you pull it off.
    I also carve just through the brown part in the center, makes a sligthly different tone I guess.
    But yours worked fine also, so again; well done.

    In my childhood, when I lived near the forest, we also made such whistles and even pipes with my friends. The best were elderberry or hazelnut branches.

    My grandpa made one of these for me when i was about 5. I'm 48 now. I think i drove my parents crazy blowing that thing for hours. I think gramps got in more trouble for making it than i did blowing it. Now i try to buy the noiseiest toys i can find for my friends kids birthdays and always make sure they have new batteries in them.

    I've been trying to make these for years.Have had no success.Would like more of a detailed explanation of what you're doing and the shape and depth and whatever it is because i've tried it and cannot get it to work

    • @Lazywatchsmith
      @Lazywatchsmith  5 місяців тому

      All i know that best time to make these is srpring. The bark is easier to remowe. If it does not work blow harder. If still no luck adjust the air path or the depth of the hole in the wood or bark. Make sure that the hole in the bark has a clean cut. Good luck.

    • @Lazywatchsmith
      @Lazywatchsmith  7 років тому

      Yes. You need to do it when the growing season starts. You might be able to do this now if you soak wood in water. Thanks for watching.

      I am interested in learning to make woodwind instruments, my uncle is a luthier and interested in teaching me to build/repair guitars, but to make different styles of traditional block/transverse flutes and panflutes might be fun and could be a little sideline for us, if I could even sell them on fairly cheap it could be an earner, plus I'd love to learn more about these instruments in general as I love my woodwinds, particularly recorders and other traditional block flutes, lovely sounding instruments!
