Such a pleasant sound!!

[@MrFactotum]

Yes ad a pleasant sound and wish i could bottle the smell!!!!! Thanks for feedback and watching cheers Kev

[@grandadsfishingboat7455]

Thats perfection Kev! I would have thought the copper tube wouldnt give a pure hard edge to the incoming airflow…but it sounds very crisp..well done. Regards Stuart from further North👍

[@MrFactotum]

Thanks 👍 Stuart from the North!! Yes , i had that thought when making it on the cheap!!!, but it turned out not to bad, may be not as crisp as brass, but easier on the pocket by using what i had at hand. Some people call me tight but i just say i like value for money!!🤣🤣🤣 Appreciate the feedback Stuart👍👍👍👍👍 thanks for watching atb Kev

Great sound Mr F may have to make this next even though I'm nowhere needing a whistle at the stage I'm at with my loco .. i think we are just little boys at heart. As usual keep safe .. Dug Hogarth

[@robertcornelius3514]

Did I miss the part of how much psi air was needed?

[@MrFactotum]

hi Robert Not sure its a long time since i did this, but if i did miss it i will do on the next loco build which is now in progress. Thanks for watching and feedback atb Kev

[@chrisstephens6673]

What ho Mr F, I wonder if the sound is more mellow being made from copper, not harder brass? Toot Toot C

[@MrFactotum]

hi chris Yes, i think your correct in that assumption, but to the untrained ear i don't think it will be noticed. hope you sorted a route out to get your thumb put right thanks for dropping in, next video in the "can" for tomorrow, piping and fitting whistles, i'm on a roll !!!!! regards mr f

[@chrisstephens6673]

@@MrFactotum you're spoilling us again.😉 Should hear by end of month about next appointment the Doc said, if not ill stick a Dremel through it and see what happens.

[@tom_tom_go]

Incredible, from a vague drawing and scrap parts you have made a beautiful whistle that people spend hundreds of pounds purchasing from a ME supplier! Can I have one please :) Tom

[@MrFactotum]

[@williamsworkshopuk]

[@uhhEagles]

@@MrFactotum Thank you!

[@trollforge]

Kev, I've searched, & cannot find any plans on Model engineer clearing house for steam whistles, any chance I could get you to email them to me? I'm trying to adapt a whistle to a pressure canning kettle to alert me to when to start the 1st timer...

[@MrFactotum]

Hi Tim I have emailed you👍 regards Kev

[@trollforge]

@@MrFactotum Got it Thanks!

[@stephenbrown1143]
