Making the crocodile, a percussion musical instrument

I made this DIY instrument out of a piece of maple. It can also serve as a fun wooden toy or decorative element. I made it using mostly hand tools. I also used the lathe to turn the scrubbing stick.
Tools and materials I propose:
Jigsaw: amzn.to/2pP39WZ
Jointer planer: amzn.to/2IQZ3WR
Bandsaw: amzn.to/2pHj49v
Forstner bit set: amzn.to/2A5NPLq
Round file: amzn.to/2RHJ80Z
Lathe: amzn.to/2yq4bMI
Wood turning tools set: amzn.to/2pH5K59

Very nice for kids to learn music. It sounds like a Frog Block. I make small solid Guiro and the idea of using animals shapes is great. Thanks for sharing this :)

Scrap wood City You are very welcome a gentle reminder of what my Dad did with wood

[@ScrapwoodCity]

nice to hear that

[@sherlockinsomniac]

Just a tip for your future videos: most people prefer to hear music instead of drilling/sawing noises.

[@demararagal]

I think it was fine. I guess you call yourself most people 😁

[@margaritistakiskailos]

Πολύ όμορφο δεν το έχω ξαναδεί σε τέτοια μορφή!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Ευχαριστώ. Έχει ξαναγίνει, εδώ παρουσιάζω τη δική μου εκδοχή!

[@ikindawannalearn9513]

Awesome idea! I will make one to add to my wooden instrument arsenal. Would be a great accompaniment for a tongue drum!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Awesome to hear that, thank you

[@ikindawannalearn9513]

Just checked out some more of your videos and subscribed. Love all the instruments! I have been making tongue drums and possibly will make a marimba (small version) I would love to see your take on either of those!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I think I'll make these instruments at some point!

[@PeaceEagle72]

Do more percussion instruments!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I hope I will

[@africancichlids3011]

Nice job like it

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@davidrobot7818]

Great crafting . Did you invent that instrument or is it someone else's idea/design?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you. No I came across this idea on Pinterest. I just designed and made my own version of it!

[@garonyoung4254]

Was I satisfied.. yes!
