My granddaughter thought I should make her one. Lol, I reached up on the bookcase next to my chair and grabbed one. After handing it to her I asked "Is this quick enough?" Lol! You should have seen her face lol! Another great how-to Ken! Enjoyed, take care!
This is the best comment on the show so far. I love how you interact with your granddaughter. Thanks for tuning in Michael and thanks for sharing the story. I love it. Tell your granddaughter that I say "hello"
As much as I hate to say it, you're right and Christmas is really just around the corner. Now is the time to start making stuff for that season. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
These are fun little projects. My granddaughters and I made bandsaw/scroll saw police whistles a while back. We made four different sizes for sound difference. I realized what I'd done after they were dried (BIG MISTAKE). Kidding... but I made sure they took them home to show mom and pop! We'll give this one a try! Thanks Ken!
There's a show on my channel demonstrating how to make those whistles Dennis. Smart move sending them home with the kids. LOL. Thanks for tuning in this week.
how you doing Kenny? have not watched for a bit, but glad to see you are still at it, i am going to have to try this project, love watching, keep up the good work...
That measuring device would be a T-rule by INCRA. You can find them at most woodworking suppliers or your can get them directly from INCRA. incra.com/measuring_marking-trules.html I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in .
Ken thank you I have seen the train whistle in stores mostly plastic, now I can make 1 for my neighbors grandson who just loves trains and has train sets he has the hat and overalls but no train whistle (I think he does in plastic), now can you make a slide whistle lol, Ken as always have a great weekend 👍
I've already made a slide whistle on the show Alan. You can find it here. ua-cam.com/video/2KkD1O-rQ9o/v-deo.html I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in.
Great video, will give it a try. Just wondering where you purchased the gauge for making the lines on the end of the whistle. It looks like a very handy tool to have. Thanks
That gauge is made by INCRA and it is called a T-rule. They are available in metric or imperial and can be purchased at most woodworking suppliers or directly from incra.com. I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in Roger.
I absolutely love this, never heard/seen these before ... kids must have a hoot with these ... fantastic 👍 I suppose you could add screw driven plugs in the long holes, effectively changing their depth, meaning you could tune it to the sound you want ... but why over complicate something so simple 😀
So here's the issue. You're not the only one to comment on the Imperial measurements. I grew up in an imperial measure world only to be flipped upside down when our government converted to metric. So now I had to learn the new system, and did. But although Canada was considered a metric country now, only the government seemed to realize it as the only thing metric was our temperatures, our speed and our gasoline purchases. Tools were all still sold with Imperial measurements. The trades all still ordered and installed parts using imperial measures. Everything was Imperial and is only starting to really change now. To this day, in a metric country, buying metric thread bolts is considered a custom item or a specialty item that costs a fortune. It's not that I haven't moved to the ISO (which metric is not by the way. The ISO did boost metric measure significantly but it is not considered the standard) it's that my environment and what is engrained in me is Imperial measures. My whole shop (with some items purchase as recently as a few months ago) is all imperial. There are no metric tools or equipment available to me unless I want to go with special order and a hugely increased price tag.......so yes, 9/16" is VERY handy. Thanks for tuning in. (sorry for the rant)
I can imagine that a certain granddaughter is going to have lots of fun with this whistle. Good kids project.
You know it. Thanks for tuning in this week Paul

I'm going to suggest this to my daughter as a project for her cub pack. Thanks Kenny.
That would be a great one for a cub pack. There is plenty for the young ones to learn on this one. Thanks for tuning in.
So glad you decided to make this. And it is just in time to start making them for stocking stuffers for Christmas.
As much as I hate to say it, you're right and Christmas is really just around the corner. Now is the time to start making stuff for that season. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
I really appreciate you sharing your creative projects with us. Thank you for that.

This may on the surface to be a fun project but in my opinion this is a fine woodworking job, great skill as well as finish, excellent .
Glad that you liked it David. Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.

Glad that you enjoyed the project Robbi. I'm still hanging in there. Good luck with your project and thanks for tuning in.
I like the measuring device you use for locating the drill holes, but cannot find anything that looks like it. Please share.
That measuring device would be a T-rule by INCRA. You can find them at most woodworking suppliers or your can get them directly from INCRA. incra.com/measuring_marking-trules.html
I hope this helps. Thanks for tuning in .
Thank you for that info, greatly appreciated.
Kenny, I think I will call this fun Friday.
That's definitely a new twist on the show. Alternative Tuesdays and Fun Fridays. LOL. Thanks for tuning in to the show Jim. I hope you liked it.
Love it. Great video with easy to follow instructions as usual. Keep up the great videos!
Glad that you enjoyed it Ron. Thanks for tuning in to the show this week and taking the time to leave your comment. It's appreciated.

@@acutabove_woodworkings Thanks for the quick reply. I will look into it. Thanks

The plugs would work, but like you said, why complicate things? Thanks for tuning in and for the kind words.
My daughter is not going to be happy with you🤣 I made one for my grandson he should be getting it soon! 😁🛫
When she sees the smile on your grandson's face, she won't care about the noise of the whistle. Thanks for tuning in.
Awesome, thanks 😅
You're very welcome Don. Thanks for tuning in to the show.
the only issue now is that i've gotta make one for each of the grand children, oh well, it will be a fun day in the shop
Sounds like you've got your work cut out for you Charles. Good luck on your projects. Thanks for tuning in.
My son and daughter in law are going to hate me. My grandson is having one of those.
They are going to hate you, but your grandson will love you. Thanks for tuning in Mark and good luck on your project.
9/16th..... oh handy. Still not moved to ISO standard? 🙂
