How to make a powerful pocket-sized whistle with your own hands


Creating a functional whistle that can fit in your pocket can be a difficult process that requires some practice, experimentation, and customization, but I hope this guide will inform you well on how to make this whistle.

Materials \ Tools

1. Several direct branches of tiger sumac (or any other wood with a soft core, such as willow, etc.)
2.Manual pruner
3.Shoe
4.A sharp knife
5.Drill
6.drill

Be careful! Since you have to deal with power tools and knives, wear protective equipment.

Step 1: Drill a hole

Drill a hole in the middle of the branch evenly. Do not push the drill too much. Take your time to reduce the chance of a branch splitting. Try to drill exactly in the middle as far as you can. If the bit is shorter than the branch, drill on one side and then on the other. You need to drill through.

Step 2: Cut the Bark from a Branch

Cut off all the bark from a branch. If sumy is fresh, young, then the bark will be thin, it can be easily scratched with a knife or even nails.

Step 3: Cut out the hole

Using a hacksaw, cut half the branch. The cut should be made 2 cm from one of the ends. Keep the cutout clean, straight and accurate.

Step 4: Cut out the hole (2)

Measure 1 cm from the first cut and mark with a pencil. Using a knife, cut a cutout from this point in the direction of the first cutout (as in the photo). The angle should be between 35 and 45 degrees. Cut carefully, make sure that you do not cut the cut made with a hacksaw.

Step 5: Install the Core

Cut one of the branches (1.5 - 2 cm). Now you need to cut this piece so that it fits tightly into the hole to make the correct diameter, it takes some patience and several attempts. Be very careful when cutting the core to the desired diameter. Cutting such a small object requires caution, precision and a very sharp knife.

Step 6: Install the core (from the other end)

Follow the same procedure as the previous step to create a second core, since you have a copy of the first core, you need to make it look like it, but with a cut (slice 2/5 from the plug) in length. This will create a gap for the passage of air.

Step 7: Finishing Strokes

Cut the ends of the whistle to make it more comfortable. Cut a ring around him to make him look more elegant. Do not be afraid to personalize this whistle by cutting out drawings; if they are not cut too deep, they will not affect the tone of the whistle. Experiment with different core sizes and the total whistle length to adjust the tone and pitch. Thank you for watching this briefing (if not difficult to like). Hope you were able to create this whistle with no difficulties.

And also a blade of grass between the fingers, a crumpled tube of a dandelion stem, an acacia pod ...
Korolev,
We of them managed to make an intercom — two boxes with a thread stretched between them. One in a box says, the other listens, then vice versa.
Here, I still remembered! And in the brass sleeves from the cartridges did not blow? Did your fingers whistle in your mouth?
Quote: Valery
.
A thread is wound on a spool ...

Very severe thread ... (thin rope). And for his children already made a screw from plastic with a rim. To avoid sharp ends
I collected stickers. To "peel off", it was enough just to break the "plywood" into strips and then tear off these "boards" one at a time ..... The sticker together with the purple base remained intact.
And we too !!!
Yeah! And blue paper, but do you remember their smell?

Do you remember matchboxes made of paper?

From veneer?
We called the shooter a self-propelled gun.

I will say more, my friend's daughter (schoolgirl) studied under the exchange program in the USA, invited American friends to her place. Someone, seeing how the hostess in the kitchen cuts cheese with a knife, called the rest to marvel at the life hack! They put the cheese in a special device and press the button! And here is such ingenuity! The mistress for a long time could not understand what was the matter until the daughter explained.

Want to demonstrate an all-terrain vehicle?


We had it "tractor")))) ...
But not only him !!! There was also a "helicopter."
The coil is worn on a large water, which acts as a handle - it is held in hand. Two small cloves with bitten off hats are hammered in the upper end. An impeller is cut on them (and on the central nail), cut out of a can, the blades of which are curved at the right angle. A thread is wound on a spool ...
If, holding the coil (nail), pull the thread sharply, then the impeller, which has gained just crazy speed overnight, soars up and flies for a very long time !!!!
No, it is fraught ...
A clap from a knitting needle, a shooter from a copper tube, arson-)))
So, with one toy late. And I saw the coils somewhere, perhaps in a fixed price, a little shorter than before, but I think this is not so important. Want to demonstrate an all-terrain vehicle?
And there is something ...My webpage
And if the threads were still sold on wooden reels! ....)))))
Gentlemen "made in the USSR," but do we not stir up the theme of toys of our childhood? Offhand: a gun-shot gun, and according to the technology of those times when the trunk channel was burned with a “two-hundred” nail heated on a fire, a slingshot from a branched branch and a rubber band from a gas mask, a match from a clothespin, a bug from a button, an elastic band and a paper clip, and much more we can recall from a long-forgotten thing that is elementary for us, but for young people, wow, cool. And all this to teach with humor in the style of "instructions for using the hammer." How do you like my suggestion?
Quote: Korolev
So it does not matter! Rose probably almost in the same (Soviet) conditions!


But now we CAN! ))) And we are not afraid to do something without "putting on protective equipment if you have to deal with knives")))).
In general, I look now at many young ... Gods !!! And if some, really, TROUBLE ???? How do they survive something ??? ...))))
Here it is, a side effect of the formation of personality in the absence of serious strains !!!
What is EPISODE for us is EVENT for them !!!
The whistle, it turns out, which every kid does is like, is now a "cool homemade" !!!
And in general, frankly, this "giving non-existent significance" in the names makes laugh ... They have all the homemade products or "powerful" or "cool" ...)))))
P.S. I speak by and large! DO NOT GENERAL !!! Not about everyone, in any case ....
So it does not matter! Grew, probably in almost the same (Soviet) conditions!
Guys! We are from the same childhood!

I'm still small !!! I am 46 in total ...)))))
Your, to put it mildly, incompetence just rolls over. You do not understand what I wrote. You have not read the crookedly translated text.
1. To experiment, you need to push off from the base point. The author did this, he immediately indicated the approximate dimensions. The transmitter, apparently, found it difficult to translate from inch to millimeters and simply threw out the product specifications. )))
2. As for the "normal translation" - yes you are a comedian, my friend! The text is teeming with absurdities. Let's start right with the name.))
Where did the “powerful” whistle come from?

What is a “functional” whistle? The process, of course, will be extremely difficult if, in spite of the promise to “inform well”, keep silent about the typical sizes indicated by the author.

It is a pity that it is not indicated what kind of protective equipment is required in this case.))
"If the bit is shorter than the branch,"
As a rule, they are still drilled with a drill.

I thought for a long time what that meant, it’s good that the photo helped.
"Be very careful when cutting the core to the desired diameter."
How can you "cut into diameter"?
"Follow the same procedure as the previous step to create a second core, since you have a copy of the first core, you need to make it look like it, but with a cut (slice 2/5 from the plug) in length."
Where do we have a copy of the first core? And what is a “2/5 cut from a fork”?
"Cut the ends of the whistle to make it more comfortable."
Where to cut the ends from?
Guys! We are from the same childhood! Thanks to the author for my memories!
We apparently grew up at the same time and made toys for ourselves, but now children can’t make a slingshot or bow, they prefer to buy. And we also stuffed a pea.
Here is "went down" to write .... And already written!))). Knife, stick, knocked on his knee - and forward ....
We only made of linden. And at any time, if only not in the winter ... The bark lags behind, if tapped carefully ...
P.S. And there you can throw a pea ... Like the cops!)))))
Experiment with different core sizes and the total whistle length to adjust the tone and pitch.
. step 7.
Ivan Experiment with different core sizes and the total whistle length to adjust the tone and pitch of the sound. Choose a length so that it fits in your pocket and the size of the drill depends on what kind of sound you want.The main thing is to use a drill that is thicker than your branch or the diameter of the branch. And the translation is normal. Read it first, then look for bugs.
From willow branches in childhood, with just a knife, we made whistles of any size in ten minutes. They cut a branch, tapped the bark with a knife edge, then removed it with stockings in twisting movements. Then they dressed the bark back and cut a wedge-shaped cut and a bevel. Then a piece of wood was cut along the bevel, taking it out of the bark, a little cut of wood (by 1.5-2 mm.) To blow air and stuck back into the bark. And FSE, the whistle is ready. The setting was reduced to how deeply the back segment of the piece of wood is crammed, more precisely, from the volume of the camera's whistle — the smaller it is, the higher the tone.
But this is only done during the sap flow, now it is unlikely to succeed, otherwise I would have muddied the video with the master class.
In addition to the crooked translation, the reporter did not even bother to cite the dimensions of the branch and drill indicated by the author.
