beautiful thing to teach a child how to make their own toys, instruments, and learn how to improvise It's one of the most clever things we do as human beings

[@CuriosityShow]

Couldn't agree more, and there are more musical instruments to make on this channel - try the hosepipe bugle and the tongue drums - Rob

@@CuriosityShow Hi Rob! Big fan :) Thanks for the reply

[@rdvrdv8920]

Rob is the original Brown Wiggle.

Back in the days when parents understood their kids weren't idiots and would let them use hand tools.

[@CuriosityShow]

Too right. Essential upbringing - Rob

I know! Trick or Treating in Britain tonight we had about 6 parents to 4 children. We're at the safest perioud in history (UK 1 death per 10,000 for a 10 year old) and they won't let them have any freedom. As kids we went out and plaed on the canal and in an abandoned quarry and brickwords and came home when it was getting dark. Today it's even safer and those days are gone. It's like IT. and Stand by Me are fictional from the setup..... I've got to stop whining... I can change nothing.... You're so right John Lee.

@@CuriosityShow Yes that is so true, an electric drill is fairly safe to use, but even now circular saws would freak me out to use one.

These days you have to pry the phone out of their hands first !

@@CountDrunkula so you want the kids to die

[@PrincipalAudio]

Awesome! I've been trying to think of ideas of musical instruments to homebrew. A whistle is definitely on the list now. :)

[@CuriosityShow]

Thanks. Quite few home made instruments on this channel - look for the bugle - Rob

[@RoyArrowood]

Cigar box guitars are pretty neat

Rob of all trades, master of 'em all 😊

He's definitely a multi-talented man! Animals, ship-bottling, and music!

[@TrapperAaron]

This dude just dropped out of, men at work, a land down under music vid. He was actually the kid on the branch at the billabong playing the flute while wearing overalls. This is a fact.

5:11 that song was TeeHee-ous!!

[@HarshaVardhanJ]

Ok, Why am i watching this at 2:30 AM?

[@jackbotman]

Cause sleeping is for chads

[@weaselwolf]

Do you already own a slide whistle? If not, then there's your answer.

[@DavidB-rx3km]

0:59 😏

[@Kkaapoww]

Rob handles that sandpaper like a master.

[@Maninawig]

It's interesting how many instruments are similar or have different names. Here we call those Slide Whistles.

[@christopherwhitley9923]

Bamboo can be extremely sharp. Do be careful handling it. I cut the crap out of my self trying to pull a peice out of the ground as a kid.
