hello nice video!! What's the name of the tool used to hollow the wood? I mean to hollow the stick? I suppose is a hand drill but I can't find those with a handle and a long bit
Nice work. Your bow looks good. I don't have metal for trigger. I am in England 🇬🇧 and want to make something very simple that works with 6.5 bolts (arrows)
amazing craft bro.. how did you learn this? :D i imagine you got the luck to encounter some old grandfather flutemaker in your life lol really amazing stuff man
Thank you, mostly by trial and error and studying old instruments. I am afraid most of the old-grandfather-flute-maker gentlemen have passed away before i started learning the craft, there is only a handful of people continuing this type of flute making and they are mostly younger, self-learnt guys. Cheers, JJch
Hi , i would really like to make a couple , and there is the drill that you are using in the start of the Flute making process , Could you point me in the right direction to buy one ?i dont know how exactly theyre called , and on Amazon i am finding some but not like the one you have, Please Help , thank you for the wonerfull video tough, you really made the interesting process even more fun to watch , Thank you i am going to watch the in depth video now in hopes i find my answers there 😊😊😊😊
For the name of the tool used to drill the inside hole, all I could find after looking around for a while was- barn beam hand drill, long wood auger. Good luck everyone!
Thank you for sharing. I do have a question, though. Do you find that having a flat mouth opening is better than a traditional raised opening as in the silver flute profile when getting a better , or should I say with a less hesitation in the production of sound. The silver flute allows for lip placement. So, would it also be possible to make a wooden version of that type of lip plate? Have you ever made a flute with a separate head joint or tunable slide joint?
Thank you so much for this video. I am gonna try to make my first flute this weekend. I live in a tiny house on wheels and always wanted to make my own flute. Warm greetings from an artist from the Czech republic ❤
I like those style of drills. It seems they come from poland...it seems to be a better system than the seymore augers that you add pipe too to extend the lenght..that would have to be pull everything out every time! My soil seems to be the same type, how long did it take you to drill as deep as you did with that type of drill system?
Hello, yes, these drills are made in Poland, and I can recommend it (I am not sponsored in any way, they really do work). It took me like a week, drilling for 2-3 hours every day after work. I had to take breaks often though, it is a tiring work, two guys switching after 15 minutes in a reasonable soil could do this over weekend.
@@JJChWorkshop hi thanks for the information, I have drilled a well before but by not that method you are using I used the percussion method, yes it is very tiring work, made it to 60 ft with percussion/cable tool method, it's slow and was looking for something a little bit faster. You did a fine job! I will be looking at one of those style drills! Thank you very much!
this question may have been asked already but where did you get the boring tool you used and would you have a link? great video, can't wait to try this out, God willing...
Whats the name of the tool you used to hollow out the entire branch at the beginning of the video??....I've been looking for that tool for years and have never found out the name of it, Nor any website where I can buy one... any help would be much appreciated
Is this the music from Stronghold? As soon as I started watching this video it brought me back to fighting against the wolf and pig lol. "Granary stocks are very low sire!" "We are almost out of fooood!"
What did you use to glue it together? I’m always looking for a traditional way to glue wood, and idk what to use for flutes. Love your tutorial btw! edit: Also, do you apply oil inside the flute?
Super work with simple tools, and I love the tone you achieved! My wooden ocarinas only play for a few minutes before the "labium" (wedge that splits the air) gets saturated and loses its sharpness. Does Cherry wood somehow prevent this? I'm going to try inlaying a veneer of antler in the latest one when I get the enthusiasm back.
Thanks, using hardwood like cherry definetly helps, you can also saturete the Wood with oil ( i use lineseed oil). You can even submerge the whole ocarina in oil overnight, And than let the instrument dry over few days. This Will make the labium very durable.
I hit water at 15 feet but then the auger got stuck to the drenched soil . I have done everything to pull it out and it's not bulging.... Any suggestions please?😢 My hand auger is like the clam type😮
This happened to mě as well, it has an easy fix though. Get one of those chain pulleys (the kind of a pulley car mechanists use to pull engines out of cars). Than make a simple tripod over the well, hang the pulley on the tripod and attach the chain to the drill handle. Using the chain pulley will make it easy the to pull the drill out few inches, which will unstuck it and you can pull it out normally.
Hey thank you so much . This morning I tried a come along ratchet and used a crowbar over a ladder as a base , but the ladder started to bend. It's that bad. I didn't want to buy or build a tripod but it is what it is...also please what is the name of the steel pipe you used with the backflow valve?
