Hi there Alessio, I can´t give you specific site or contact to find one, but can give couple of tips. The drill is called "nebozez" in slavic languages. In english you may find it under the name "gimlet" or "gimlet drill". I don´t really know the reason for this, but they are much more common in Eastern Europe when compared to the Western Europe (including Italy as far as know) and US. These drills were usually used for carpentry, and were only 30-50cm long. I haven´t make this one, I bought it used, but becouse it was much shorter I had to make an extension for it, (by welding a steel rod), so I can use it for drilling flutes. If you want to get get your own, your best bet is to search ebay for i something like "vintage gimlet drill". Cheers, JJCh

Wow! Your works are awesome, I've just discovered your channel and it's great! But I have a few questions: 1) Do you think I can use willow wood for both the whistle and the fipple? Willow wood is the easiest to get where I live... 2) This is maybe a stupid one: How do you make the exact size of the fipple so that it fits so well? I've seen people using some kind of machine for that but is there a "handmade method"? 3) Does the distance of the holes affect the tunning? I know that it does on flute (as you've shown in your tunning video) but I've seen other videos in which they say that on recorders the only important thing is the size of the holes, not the distance (recorders and the low whistle seem the same to me regarding the construction of them, sorry for my lack of musical education :/) Thank you for your videos and keep up the good work!
@JJChWorkshop3 жыл бұрын
Hello there, glad you like the channel mate, to your questions: 1) Willow wood is not a good choice for a flute, it is too soft. You will be better off using some hardwood (ash, oak woods of fruit trees etc.). It is a great material for the fipple though. 2) Easiest way is to look some wooden rods in hardware stores and than drill the flute so it matches the diametere of the rod. Or you can make the fipple from sratch manually, this will take more time ofc. 3) Both the distance and the size affect tunning. Distance is less precise, but has greater effect. So first you position the holes, and than adjust the size to match the tones perfectly. Hope it helps, good luck with your flute!

How do you decide the length of the fipple's square hole? (seen emerging at 5:41) My few attempts at making a low whistle worked best with about a 1cm long hole ("long" meaning from head-to-tail measurement direction).

@JJChWorkshop2 жыл бұрын
Hi there Luke! On the fipple square hole - it highly depends on the size (=tunning of the flute). The flute in the video is in the low D tunning. With my low D flutes I usually make the fipple windows 8-12mm wide and 6-9mm long. Flutes with bigger window will be louder, have more "breathy" sound and will require slightly more air to play. Smaller windows will have sharper sound and use slightly less air. It really depends on everyones personal taste, even small changes in size (1 mm) will make quite a significant difference in final sound of the flute. The tool I use is very simple round woodcarving chisel. I prefer using hand tools for this, as the electric drill tends to slightly tear the wood fibers around the playing hole. good luck with your flutes!

We have some online second hand markets here, where people sell them often, but I don´t think anyone will send it to Australia (the shipping would be multiple times more expansive than the price of the drill). Like this one www.sbazar.cz/hledej/nebozez The nebozez I use has diameter of 20mm. The drills you send me will work for smaller flutes, as they have length of 460mm. For something like G-flutes they will be fine. If you would like to make bigger-longer flutes, like the one I make in the video, you will have to find some local welder and ask him to make an extension to your drill. But that shouldn´t be an issue.

I copy my answer from a different video, hope it helps. 1) These drills are called "nebozez" in slavic laguages. They are very common in Eastern Europe (altough usually they are shorter and used in traditional carpentry, with length around 50cm - though it is easy to weld some extension to them). In english they are called "gimlets" or "gimlet drills". Finding really big ones is not easy - your best is to search ebay for something like "antique big gimlet drill". If you are from Europe you may be able to order some from the Eastern Europe as well.

Hello there, these drills are called "nebozez" in slavic laguages. They are very common in Eastern Europe (altough usually they are shorter and used in traditional carpentry, with length around 50cm - I had to weld an extension rod to it). In english they are called "gimlets" or "gimlet drills". Finding really big ones is not easy - your best is to search ebay for something like "antique big gimlet drill". If you are from Europe you may be able to order some from the Eastern Europe as well.

Do you seal the fipple wood. Which wood type?
@JJChWorkshop3 жыл бұрын
I use lineseed oil+beeswax mix to seal the wood. I usually use some kind of softer wood like linden or alder wood for the fipple. When using the softer woods, you avoid the risk of splitting the flute when inserting the fipple or when the flutes go through humidity/temperature changes (the softer woods have ability to compress little bit).

the block should be made from Seader wood and the layers -should be vertical not horizontal like you show here-----due to the cracking pattern off wood from the outside to the inside -----outer rings shrink more then inside rings -----this is how wood for violine is being cut -like a cack slice from the wood log so the rings will be vertical
