I first saw a shishi-odoshi in Kill Bill, but didn't know what it was called. It's a Japanese bamboo fountain which makes a clacking noise intended to scare away deer. I made mine as a all-in-one unit, but you can make them in a lot of different ways.

if you watch kill bill again youll notice that the deer scarer is VERY slow and methodic. you want 10 seconds or so in between each pour for it to be a relaxing water feature. the faster it pours each time, every 2 seconds or so for yours, the more is actually becomes an annoying thing to hear constantly. to change the speed, plumb in a small ball valve after the outlet of your pump and adjust the flow to slow the speed with which the "knocker" fills. you also have it so that when your knocker pours its water it makes a hitting sound on something and then also hits the rock to make a second sound. the scarer in kill bill only has the hitting sound when it returns to its upright position, directly after pouring out its water. play with the weight distribution as well to slow the speed at which it "pops" back up to its upright position. i would also increase the height of the pourer so that it actually pours its water out into the pool and you can hear the water itself splashing. thats what makes it a water feature. if you cant hear the water pour into the pool its useless. slow and steady is what makes these machines beautiful. the faster and louder they actually are the worse of a serene water feature they become.
Yea I was confused when the water catching cup was so small, I just watched another video and it banged every 50 seconds. Maybe he just needs more weight? But also that’s probably how it scares deer, by taking a long period in between bangs so they don’t get accustomed to the noise.
But for a first attempt, I’m really impressed with this DIY.
Maybe he’ll make another one that’s improved
Most pumps have a water flow adjustment, which I’m sure he is aware of, and probably has it set up how he likes it. You can do the same as you like it.
That part where o ren ishii apologize’s to Beatrix kiddo I saw it
The purpose of this mechanism, as with many other old style Japanese conventions, is to be mindful of nature, and the sounds around you.
Shishi-odoshi is meant to create a rhythm in your mind in order to grasp the harmony of nature.
Take a moment at night and listen to it.
Try to slow its tempo*
what the harmony with rhe nature.??? they are a électrical motor pump...!!! sorry no harmony with that .. it's not natural rythm..
@@makakblan9181 well... original Shishi-odoshi (as they were used traditionally in Japan) weren't electrical motor pumps
This sound always helps me sleep
They were used for deer. They are now used for Aesthetic
@@Random--NPC Wikipedia...😂 actually harmony was always important in japan👍
Funny you mentioned Kill Bill because that's exactly where I first saw this. Just watched it again and decided I wanted to find out what that thing was, so I googled "japanese garden wooden water thing" lol. Apparently it was good enough, because I ended up on this video! Pretty cool project, I want to make my own now.
Same here. Just watched Kill Bill again, after many years, and wanted to find out more about that water feature. Very cool.
Also saw one in a Japanese garden, near where I live.
Would like to make one for my yard, and maybe a few for local streams.
Suggest slowing down the trickle of water, to make it knock slower.
Pretty cool you got over 1 million views.
same here, 6 years later. lol
Steve for future reference with bamboo, I have found those 'baffles' are what actually cause the bamboo to trap air and split the bamboo when its taken off its column and drying. You can relieve the pressure by drilling a small hole in the side, or cutting off both ends and busting out the baffles with a pole or stick.
Yeah I saw this in kill bill as well. But I've also seen them in Asia and found out what they were. I was just thinking I want a little fountain in my room, leading me here, and I've decided this would be perfect! Thanks for making this video!
Good example how you went through the construction piece by piece , getting the right balance is so important for the water level before it drops before it drops back to that GONK sound, Bamboo looks great too .
Great video Steve! Your videos always show your process while not over-explaining. Cheers!
it's now year 2021, and I've had to dig a trench for Bamboo. The Shishi Odoshi would prove effective for irrigation. For staying healthy, Bamboo Robusta Clumps need proper drainage. So the water fountain moving the water source would prove not only functional but Aesthetically consistent with everything else going on. Like button smashed.
What a beautiful piece of art.. Bravo.. For all the work put in..

I'm making one of these for my living room! Love the sound of it, so calming
You are amazingly talented
I've noticed that the longer the back part of the two sections, the better the sound.
I wasn't even aware there was such a thing till I saw this video...but in ths side lines there are about twenty different versions of this. It is a neat project. Keep em coming.
My best friend lives at the lake and there's alot of wild bamboo growing there so I will most definitely take advantage of that and make one of these!
That's usually because the Shishi-odoshi is meant to be part of a larger setup. Traditional ones are usually connected with a small waterfall or stream through a series of tubes and the water just drains away into the soil. These tiny home made jobs, though entertaining to listen to, aren't similar. You have to obviously - as you would do with any standing water empty it every so often.
Even tho you never answered me, i still like your show and the Shishi-odoshi i am building right now is for my dad, he loves bamboo...
so thx and have a good 2013 sir
This shishi odoshi... really will make my backyard special...thnks for your time.....great job......n keep it up................ Andres ( NY )
Thanks Steve you are one of the 1st guys I followed when starting woodworking a few years ago but never saw this one and I want to make one now and found this vid in search. Hope you and yours are well fella😊
As someone who enjoys anime from Japan, I've seen the shishi-odoshi used in several diffferent series, usually associated with a hot-spring, or an outdoor bath--but, never knew what it was until I ran into this vid!
Gotta love the net!
This is really cool. You should be a wood shop teacher lol
Not completely sure if your box was leaking any, but coating it with a layer of fiberglass resin will work. I had the same predicament trying to figure out how to make a wood box air tight. Just brush it on the surface, and give the inside corners a couple extra coats to fill any gaps. Best thing is, you don't have to worry about your deck sealer wearing down, or missing a spot with the silicon.
Love the way you made this .
What a fun project great job Steve.
Awesome Project Steve!!!!
Steve, I just moved to Kentfield, to be closer to you, I enjoy listening to your shishi-odoshi, it helps me meditate and attracts the deer. :-)
I think this is a very awesome project to make. sit back, relax and have some peace and tranquility. Get into your Zen mode ,
Let it hit different size hollowed out bamboo shoots. A few of them sound cool all together
It was fall, deer season! And I live in Virginia as far as most people are concerned it's deer season all the time!
Very cool and entertaining as always Steve.
Thanks.
Hey, just down the road! Lots of deer.
Nice job. Looks great. I think I would have found a plastic water proof container and built around that avoid making a water tight box.
so beautiful, relaxes the mind and relieves stress.
Please come back my brother 😍😍 thanks
Me making a deer scare in Animal Crossing: New Horizons
You could round out a notch on either side of the bamboo that runs along the top of the box and run the wire over the box and under the bamboo. You wouldn't have to worry about putting a hole into an otherwise waterproof box and the wire would be mostly hidden.
É trabalhoso, é!!! Mas, o charme e a delícia de tê-lo em casa é insuperável! Amei!! Parabéns pelo trabalho.
As always another great project but I have a problem. I guess I have nosey deer because they all gathered round to see what the new noise was and then drank the water out of the box. You sure it is supposed to scare them away?
John Last : Maybe it only scares Japanese deer. For American deer, the sound apparently says, “Hey deer, come get a nice drink of water!”
Theyre too domesticated i guess.
Looks real good! With the right leverage and counter-weight, this thing can be a pretty effective hammer. Pound yourself some grain into flour or maybe split some rocks...
The reason he went with bamboo was because during the final scenes in Kill Bill vol.1 this fountain played a role as the backdrop sound.
One way to waterproof a wooden box is to use a small wire and hammer. Hammer the wire to create a groove around all the seams(under the mating surfaces) before assembling. The water will cause the groove to re-hydrate and seal the joint. Saw it on the Woodwright's Shop years ago.
You should build a double teired one of these so when the water tips out it then goes into a smaller lower tank wich leeks into another tipping thing or have it tip into a another tiping part that tips once each time the main one tips twice nice video
Maybe 45 years ago, there was a very large fountain similar to this in a Houston Tx mall. However, it has about 5 arms that dropped, at different intervals, onto chimes within the fountain. It was gorgeous! I've often puzzled over how to construct a smaller one for my garden. Any ideas?
Ultimate set of tools.
I know what you mean about Deer being fearless. If I built one of those for my place, I wouldn't be at all surprised if the local Deer came in and drank from it. :D
Cheers from Down Under. :)
I've wanted one since seeing it on Kill Bill too. Looks like I will be buying one for lack of tools to making my own!
Great build and project Steve, I just inherited a bunch of bamboo, now I have a project to use some of it!
Groovy, can't wait to make it.
Nice workshop, great tools and well explained
Amazing nice sound
I couldn't understand why you were building a box at all.... then I realized you were making a standalone deer scarer.... odd - I've never seen one not in a body of water. Usually they're made as part of a pond.... but still, interesting! It's interesting how a sound that's used to frighten some animals can be relaxing to others....
listening to the last couple of seconds of the video was actually quite relaxing
This is excellent...., not because I need to make one, its just the editing and info is spot on. This is a case of tell me and I'll listen, show me and I'll understand.....dead easy to follow and so well shot.....great stuff :))))
Interesting creation, nice project.
Awesome build!
(29 People never saw Kill Bill OR can afford internet but not tools & water.)
hey stev, just looking at your meditative shishi osdishi, v nice, I think by extending the slit on the top side of the water catch toward the pivot the water wont run on to the outside of the bamboo and get the surrounding area as wet. Keep up the good work....
i like the sound of the rock, really neat, I love it.
I wonder how you come up with all the ideas. You're incredible...
One thing I would of done is make the bevel cut in the flapper a little deeper so that the spigot would spill less water on top of the flapper. You can see that the water runs down the top of the flapper and soaks the stone when it hammers back up. Hopefully that would keep more water in the reservoir for longer.
Consider some finer mesh screen as well to prevent mosquitos from getting to the water. a scrap of window screen material on top of the metal mesh and under the rocks should do it.
Great job and looks great
Cool Project, Good use of the bamboo!!!
I love your videos. I have learned a lot about woodworking. You make it informational as well as fun. Thanks for all the great ideas
The noise will drive me crazy but it's very cool looking
That's really nice. I would like to to have one . First time I ever heard on was in a SEGA Dreamcast game called Shenmue and I never knew the name of it until a year ago and I forget all about it until now. Wish I could make one like that. Good job
Man U got a workshop I'm very jealous of
DUDE, I'm gonna get a couple of those and put 'em close to the stand this season. I'm pretty sure they will bring 'em in as good as corn does ! ROKUNIKU.....that's japanese for Venison.
You do good stuff my friend...keep 'em coming.
Yaeh! same... first saw it on kill bill movie. Iwill give a thumbs up for that.
Going to make one now. Awesome. Thanks Steve
It can be unplugged. Ambitious builders could install a switch.
Personally I'd just glue/epoxy the bamboo halves on the box so it'd look more authentic and probably try to hide the clasps and pump wire as much as possible, but it looks great as it is.
This. Is. Amazing.
A thumbs up from me! Absolutely brilliant, I have been looking about how to make one of these. I have seen them in Japan, as well as Kill Bill, a brilliant film. Thank you for sharing:)
Thanks. Very cool. I was hoping for more step by step on how you installed the pump so it directed the water from the pump through the bamboo and out. That wasn't clear for me. Sorry if it's 101, but I'm really new to installing pumps.
Gee have a bunch of bamboo growing down the street from me.now I know what to do with it.
Thanks
Hi Steve!
Please do a project that answers an issue or need for a cat, I've seen your majestic friend there. Maybe a food bowl?
P.s. great work!
That's awesome I have bamboo growing behind my house I am gonna try it
good tip on the tile weight.
Hey Steve, how was/is the longevity of this project? Anything worth changing years on. I’d love to see a remake video at some stage
That's fantastic! I would like to make one!
I made one of these in Animal Crossing and gave it to one of my deer residents. She loved it and put it in her house... I don't think I did it right
😂
Nice Job, You could use bank line for wrapping & another piece of Bamboo for a better sound. Thanks for the video ;)
sáng tạo quá tuyệt vời luôn cảm ơn ban rất rất nieu
Your neighbors will love it. :p
Nice video, its good to install in the gardens to drive crows that eat plants or alert other animals to run away.
Really enjoying your videos steve, I think I will need to make myself one of these!
Buen trabajo para embellecer el jardin.... Felicidades fuerte abrazo
Nice iconic sound!
You can also put a small drum of some kind for a different sound.
did it scare the deer away? we have some that likely know yours, and I don't need them eating my garden, this looks like an awesome project either way!
Great job. I would like to make one without electric pump, I have a pond.
good job on the garden feature. keep it up.
I don't understand but that sound is really soothing😅
From the caption I couldn't tell what this project was, but when I saw it in the video I was like "Oh, like from Kill Bill." Great minds think alike?
Very nice... How often do you have to refill it? I noticed that there is some leakage along the moving pole as it resets (near the washer). I'm looking for something that I can use to keep the deer away, 24/7.
Perfect video ! THank you very much.
Great job man
That is a wonderful project!!
Great video! Loved it! Beautiful project results!
This is so nice! Might try and build one to keep foxes out of my garden. Deer are less of a problem here in Greater London, UK :P
By the way you can probably hide the pump wire behind the upright bamboo before you clamp it into the box corner.
This is going your recommendation in 3 years
very nice tutorial.
