What a nice surprise on a Wednesday morning, to see Mr Pete all jubilant and sprightly. Makes this old man what to give a try on making a steam whistle for his own. Thank you. 😃

@stime6472 Год назад

I never realized how simple a whistle is. Thanks Mr. Pete!

@rexcadral3468 Год назад

The more "mouth" the whistle has relative to the circumference, the louder it is. The whistles that have a full circle for the mouth are the loudest possible.

@mrpete222 Год назад

Thank you for that information. I am not exactly an expert on that subject.

you could tell people that's where the expression "loud mouth" came from.

@leybraith3561 Год назад

Nice one, I remember (as a kid) experimenting with bamboo whistles, used a file to create the mouth opening just above the natural bamboo diaphragm and drill/filing the diaphragm to create the air slot. The result was not popular with the neighbors or their dogs for some reason.

@jamescarter7752 Год назад

I made a lot of whistles out of bamboo, or "cane as we call it here in the south" when I was a kid, but as you said they kept disappearing. We have a lot of dummy governors that do the same as the one on your steam engine, nothing. Enjoyed the video.

The Illinois governor unfortunately does too much. But he does nothing for me.

I might need to make one of these! My husband is always out in the garage working when I'm calling him in for dinner and I have to yell real loud so he can hear me.

When my Paw Paw taught me to make reed flutes, he called the block with the shaved section at the mouth of the flute the "fipple." I don't know if this is correct name, but by discussing it, you brought that word and that great memory out of the mists of time and made me an 8 year old boy again. Thank you!

@Farm_fab Год назад

I attend the Rough and Tumble Historical Society flea market each August here in Pennsylvania where I'm a vendor there, and at noon, there's a whistle blow, and I was always fascinated by them. I'm hoping to put one on one of my tractors I take there, as anyone with a whistle blows it at noon. This of course includes sliding models as well. I did try to put an air fitting on a diesel truck horn, but it wouldn't operate. The air horn is a simpler design, so I think I'll try one of these. I might even try to make a three chime model. PVC is quite good for this, too. Thanks for the information, Lyle.

Thanks, Mr Pete It's nice having a cranky old man do shouting at us when he's handing out knowledge. Most important. Young folks can relate to shouting old guys. I don't need a whistle but I like knowing how to make one if I need one. And when I visit the supermarket I DO NOT SHOUT at the young folks [EDIT - my primary contact with young folks] - they're just starting out and should be encouraged. Be nice to folks, I say. Cheers, Lyle.

My mother could place two fingers into her mouth and whistle, very loud, almost 3 city blocks. She would whistle to get our attention, one whistle you are okay, two whistle you will get a scolding, three whistle you might as well move to another country. She placed her little outer finger on each hand so that they were parallel to each other and left a small gap between then she would whistle.

@mrpete222 Год назад

Amazing, I never heard a woman that could whistle that way. I was never able to whistle.

Saw plans in a home machinist magazine project that fit a sheet metal + baffle in a 1 angle notched tube. Three of the chambers were blanked off with various length quarter round material producing 4 chambers. How would that sound (blended)? Loved the video, magazines don't have sound.

Good Morning Mr. Pete. I am expecting my first two grand children this October. This video is perfect to keep in the toolbox for those times I get to spend with them.

I think you may still be getting through to some of our thicker heads out here. I believe I helped and would have fixed a lot of students if I'd had the interest and support of the majority female dominated empire. Our class was next to the auto lab. Teachers, mostly women, would have to walk through our area to get to the lab to check on the progress of their cars. They got free brake jobs. They didn't even turn their heads as our students worked on making a weaving loom. Couldn't be less interested. The loom was an extra project for when they finished their regular demands. But when the rugs started being made, the ladies stopped dead in their tracks and walked right into the classroom and started touching and looking and asking questions. Not about the looms. About the rugs. My genius assistant teacher and I taught the students to use tools they could find at a yard sale and create things of value with them. They would not be flush with cash any time soon. Yard sales were their best bet. When they made things of value, they became valuable, often for the first time in their school and actual lives. Funny isn't it? I'm sure you could have recognized that right away, but the women, good as any man and now in charge of even the tech centers in education, couldn't see that to save their lives. Would love to share more about the program some day. Maybe send pictures. Do you host a throw away email a person would send things to? An email you use to receive your junk mail so I don't sent stuff to your more valued mailbox? P.S., The administration didn't like me. They had a problem sending in a substitute for my class when they would send me off to a worthless professional development class. None of the women wanted to do guy stuff. Like the ladies say: We've come a long way baby. @@mrpete222
