Blue Bear Flutes - DIY Wooden Eagle Whistle - How to make your own!

[@tomjenkins9491]

At 72 years of age I have followed your you tube videos. I have made a few flutes most of which my daughter takes away to play. Thank you for the pleasure you have given me by sharing your skill and knowledge.

[@renegalvan6417]

I bought one. It's terrific!

[@kevinjohnston6249]

You are so masterful! I am mesmerized with your playing. Stumbled here to make a whistle for a young friend. He knew I whittled ‘ sticks’ so he brought me one to make a knife or sword. Being five it is his obsession. I explained that his mother would not like that and he left the stick. I made a poor effort with the stick he provided but the sound was feeble. He asked for a better one and here I am. After making three eagle whistles I have a reasonable facsimile that works. Thank you. I had to rotate the plug about 45 degrees to get the to work. I think I will attempt a flute next.

Thank you Charlie. This is all new to me and im having fun watching your videos and learning to play and make stuff. Thanks for being real. I have so much more to watch. Man, you're awesome.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

[@RichieRedbeard]

Thank you for your informative and entertaining video and its commentary and for your belief in one's strength of character. I wish there were more teachers in the world sharing your message and viewpoint on life. I think I will try to make some of my own whistles, not to take away from your business but just for my own enjoyment and perhaps to gift to my niece and nephew. Best wishes to you and yours today and in the future

[@BlueBearFlutes]

@@RichieRedbeard thank you for your kind words! I'm glad to hear that you'll be making your own as well!

Thanks for sharing your expertise. Love your eagle whistle.

[@michaelmartin9335]

Thanks Charlie for sharing your skills and technology in flutes and eagle whistles. I always appreciate your videos and I learn a lot. I have some of your eagle whistles. They are fun to use outside when the Eagles or falcons are around.

[@bryantbl33]

Thank you for everything so far I am learning so much. I am trying to learn to teach my kids for homeschooling.

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Wonderful!

[@daniellew7122]

Blue bear you're an upstanding person and you're right, character is one of the most important things that make a person who they are. Let's hang out sometime if I'm ever in the area 😁 I love your videos

[@BlueBearFlutes]

😁

[@jeannemyers489]

Impressive work Charlie! The whistle sounds like the Ospreys here as they fly overhead hunting fish. So realistic sounding. I would certainly be tempted to buy one! Good job. 😉

[@mybrass41]

Nice to get more knowledge in whistle making ive made a couple of my own and thanks for keeping the character bar high it makes a difference!!

[@BlueBearFlutes]

🙂👍

Hello Charlie, Where can I get the metal rods for burning the square and round holes? Or did you make them yourself?

nice one Charlie

[@williamstrome5271]

Great video charlie I have a plastic hawk whistle I use for small game hunting but I think I will make one of these

[@alfonsedente9679]

Rabbits are not attracted to hawks, you need to ask Bluebear to show how to make a carrot-whistle. He did it in an old video

[@williamstrome5271]

@@alfonsedente9679 rabbits are afraid of Hawks and eagle's they stop momentarily to look where they are and when they do its easier to shoot them

[@ChrisLeeW00]

People sometimes don’t listen but then do look for a link in the video description. Maybe that is where they are lost?

Awesome Eagle sound. Do you sell your eagle flutes? 👍💯🦅

What is the necklace you’re wearing made of

[@BlueBearFlutes]

In Mexico the green stone is called "the mother of jade", the red stone is red Pipestone from Minnesota and the skull in the middle is one of the hardest stones in the world - fire agate. Thanks for asking! (They're definitely not made of wood 😉 )

@@BlueBearFlutes awesome thanks for sharing

[@appreeshe8813]

Excellent video! I also like the subject matter. Honestly? You are brilliant and talented! I also appreciate your making it clear you were in NO competion with anyone. On the down side, you are critical and whiney while you ramble a bit. I don't care much for your unnatural earlobes either. But I'm, just an old fart. By the end of the video, I realize you to also be subtly hilarious!

[@BlueBearFlutes]

It's funny that you call me "critical" and your entire comment is only bashing my person, with nothing said about my video. Irony? (What the hell did you write "Honestly?" for?)

[@appreeshe8813]

I apologize. I certainly wasn't trying to be hurtful or insulting. I was giving you my honest opinion of the video. I appreciated the video first thing and watched the whole half hour. I just considered you a quirky talent, and - apparently clumsily - expressed that to you. I'm sincerely sorry I offended you.@@BlueBearFlutes

Make the sound of a hawk to get a rabbit to sit still when you are hunting. Rabbit knows the hawk sees movement. Just a little tip .

Not really

Hey there, so I kinda need advice. You willing to chat?

[@BlueBearFlutes]

Yeah, let's do it! I'm high-class, let's go ahead and chat here on KZbin. By the way, I do have a website and contact form on there. I do quote my website at the beginning and end of each video. All that aside, shoot. Let's hear it.

[@ezraluna4396]

@@BlueBearFlutes Well you have said a couple times that you can make a flute out of anything. Maybe I took it too literal lol I found a branch and split it. Carved out a good 1/2 hole but no sound. Branch is 3/4-1". Am I wasting my time? I just thought I'd try. I like wood working saw a video and was like, I bet I can do that lol

[@BlueBearFlutes]

@Ezra & Luna wasting your time is a matter of perspective. People have been making branch flutes for the last 30-40 years, I do have a video on that and the biggest problem you may have is keeping the seams sealed. Most branches you find are also very porous and will need to be sealed for that as well. Otherwise a lot of people like the look of a branch flute. If this is your first flute it may prove to be a little more difficult to make it. If it is your first, I would recommend setting it down, practicing on some miscellaneous materials for a while and then come back to it when your skills are more honed.

[@TheAstriapo]

Baking soda sprinkled on superglue will cause it to set instantly...

[@BlueBearFlutes]

As it is similarly with any fine powdered high carbon content material. Some set more quickly and some more slowly however I like to use something in between. It gives me time to change its position in the drying process if necessary.

[@wildernesboy]

🤔heres a nice challenge. Make an ocarina from wood?

[@alfonsedente9679]

Bluebear and Whitefox made one out of bone a long time ago, look for the vid. Just leave the other end closed. Its the closest you will get to a Native American ocarina.

Skills❌ Safety ❌ Commen sens ❌ The pure AUDACITY to try anyways ✅ Guess this it just the project for me 🩸🩸🩸🤕 🤣 ( I was warned ) I got a bluebear flute a couple of years back for my birthday, delivered all the way from USA, to me in Denmark, it has a beautiful sound and arrived super fast. I don't know about the cost as it was a gift, but I do know it wasn't astronomic as my guy is a conscious spender (aka quality seeking cheap ass).
