Making a DIY Whistle from 2 Wood Dowels (easy & fun project)

I'm feeling quite a bit better so I decided to get out into the workshop and make something. Today, I'll attempt to make a whistle from two wood dowel scraps (1" oak dowel & 1/2" poplar dowel). I've never tried this before but the design is tried and true. Let's see if I can make it work.

That was a fun little project, glad you on the mend.

Thanks for checking it out. This might be a fun project for you to do with your daughter one day. Super simple but definitely requires adult assistance with those power tools. As always man, I appreciate the support.

Ah another fine project to do with the kids,thanks for sharing Kake and glad your starting to feel better 👍

[@musicalmiscellany]

Yes indeed. I think it would make a great project for kids (provided there was a little supervision on the power tools of course. Thanks for checking it out.

Nice job, I have been build these since I became a boy scout.
Glad to hear you are feeling better.

Thanks for checking it out. This is a tried and true design but I think it would be a fun dad/kid project. Easy peasy.

[@bearshield7138]

Not only are they tried and true for whistles made out of dowels but it core idea works for antlers, sticks from the back yard and PVC.@@musicalmiscellany

Fun project! I could see making these with my 3 boys. Then I'd probably immediately regret giving all three of them whistles! Glad to hear you are on the mend from Covid round 3. My middle child has had it 3 times and each time he's not felt as bad and recovered quicker.

Good to hear all around. I was thinking this would be a great project for kids and dads to do together. I will say my covid recovery has gotten quicker each time but still... I don't want it again.

[@drewjaeger8962]

@@musicalmiscellany I hear you on that. I've only had it once and never again would be fine with me!

[@musicalmiscellany]

@@drewjaeger8962 Yeah. The first time was absolutely horrible.

Glad you're feeling better. I just noticed we have a lot of the same tools, drill press, saw, Shnito file, sander. You still need an oscillating multi-tool though.

Thanks for checking out the vid. One of those tools is definitely on my xmas list this year.
