Making a Wooden Whistle

Spent the afternoon in the wood shop making a wooden whistle. I’ve made one of these for all of my grandchildren and all of the children in the neighborhood. I made 20 for a friends child’s birthday party. Fun project doesn’t take long. You can use a router or you can use a wood lathe. Very kid friendly.

Nice job! My only issue is that you started out with safety first, and then turned without the tail stock in place. For any beginners out there, it’s always safer to engage the tail stock with a live center whenever possible.

Good point thank you for pointing it out to me

My Dad made things just with hand saws and knives.. Made us kids whistles when we were young. Just plain ones. Yours is very nice. I can't imagine a kid next door not being outside playing with those a lot. Sad they don't know where they are. Great job making and great job doing the video.

That is awesome!

Thanks for showing how to do this. I'm just starting wood turning and this looks to be a great little toy to try and make. I've got a piece of apple wood I think I'll try.

Thanks, it was a fun project to make. All my grandkids have one (6 in total) but i've made a lot to just give away. It's always good to see the face of a kid and a big smile when I give one away. I hope you make a bunch.

you're the santa claus of wood working

[@henryskinner1092]

Your neighbor hid the whistles for a good reason. I would have them for emergency use.

Funny thing Forest I also worked the printing world for 40+ years and am a wood worker/turner. Fun project!👍🇺🇸

[@forresltadair]

Oh wow! I can say that becoming printer has brought me a lot of headaches and a lot of good times. thanks for your comments.
