Woodturning: A Super Loud Whistle from Olive Wood

This video shows how I turned a super loud whistle from some scraps of olive wood. The pieces were approximately 3/4 inch square by 4 inches. About the same size as a standard pen blank. This is a fun and fast project for lathes of any size. I used the lathe's indexing system to hold the piece steady while sawing and chiseling

I'm definitely going to start making these. I have a bunch of orchard peach that will be perfect.

Have fun! You can change the pitch by varying the depth of the drilled hole. Thanks for watching!

The flattened dowel that goes inside the mouthpiece is calle a 'fipple'.

Hi Scott, I was wondering if you knew if the loudness & tone could be altered. e.g. smaller or larger hole or even a longer piece?

@ScottsMiniWoodshop Жыл бұрын

Hi Tony. Changing the diameter of the hole and/or it's depth will definitely have an effect on the pitch and loudness. Experiment with it a bit and let me know how it turns out.

Hola Scott. Qué otras maderas recomiendas para éste silbato? Gracias de antemano por la respuesta, y abrazo gigante desde Reynosa México!

@ScottsMiniWoodshop Ай бұрын

Any tight grain hardwood should be fine. I'd probably stay away from open grain woods for a whistle this small. You might blow air right through it. 🤣 Thanks for watching!

Internal diameter ?

@ScottsMiniWoodshop 8 ай бұрын

In the video I use a 3/8 inch forstner bit to drill the hole. But you could use any size you want within reason. Changing the diameter and depth of the hole will change the pitch of the whistle
