Don't know the first thing about it. I'm still a little nervous as to whether I can make music or just noise :lol:

Well what is music but orginized noise, right? :lol:
Can't wait to hear what kind of orginized noise your box will make when complete. Orange Blosom Speical comes to mind. :med:

I have glue all over my fingers :dremel: Today I got all the main parts of the whistles glued togather\o/ I think I spent 5 or six hours on them. It took every little clamp I have.
I used a piece of aluminum angle as a jig to keep the pieces square.
Here are all the little square wood tubes. I have to glue in the bottom and the piece for the air chamber.
More tomorrow.....

Looking good Wes, starting to come together. Keep up the good work.

Powder Keg:
Thanks Nick!!!
I've been working on the end pieces today. There are 2 pieces that form the bottom and the chamber where the air comes in. I cut out the pieces and started gluing them in. The 3 biggest whistles were slightly out of square. I just pulled them over while I was gluing the bottom piece in.
The pieces were cut a little long. They stand proud of the face slightly. After the glue dries, I'll sand them down flush with the surface.
Nearly half done with the whistles\o/
Next step will be to start cutting the pieces for the lips. They will be made out of Ash.
Dean W:
They're neat, Wes. Even B&W pics. How about that?
One batch of these has an angled piece of wood in the ends. Are these separate pieces from the ones that have the two small square blocks in the end?
I'm trying to figure out how these work, and how you tune them.
