Your videos have such a great production value! I’ve been watching for ages now and are always so glad to see you’ve uploaded! You inspire me to stick with my Product Design degree ❤️
Very cool! I didn't know of it before but did some reading up. Looks like a well balanced programme. I wish we had a bit more engineering and manufacturing processes during BA at UID. Do you get to do any hand modeling and making or is it mainly digital? What kind of workshop do you have?
It’s split pretty evenly between practical skills and more technical CAD and computer rendering processes. An entire floor of the Design, Architecture and Building building is a dedicated machining workshop - it’s pretty sweet! Most of the assignments are usually a few weeks of ideation - then a foam proof of concept model, then CADing the shell and 3D printing or manufacturing of the part. The course has its ups and downs but it’s pretty great overall. Thanks for taking the time to respond!
Do you think it would be possible to add a metal ball to make it sound like a coach's whistle? I'll be honest, I'm not used to working with metals. Maybe the reason that those whistles have a rounded body is to allow for a "rattle" like that.
I wouldn't add a metal ball, but a rubber one. However, this whistle is not suitable for that as the opening is too big (ball would fall out) and the chamber too small for the ball to move around in.
The finish is really nice, that's for sure. And kudos for using brass. That being said when I saw you cut the notch into the piping I was thinking "whoa! That's WAY too much!" though. And in the end when you tried the whistle, my suspicions were confirmed. I would've suggested starting out small (with the notch), trying the whole thing first, then tuning, then trying again (rinse and repeat) right until the sound is good. Then do the soldering, the surface finish and all the rest. But oh well, it's a bit late for that I suppose....
It sounds a lot louder in real life than in the video though, the camera mic is crap. Either way, I do agree that that method is probably better all around.
I choose the music I like for the videos, I chose this because I liked the wibe and it has whistling, which is appropriate. If you don't like it there is a mute button :)
@@SwitchAndLever Thanks for this video. Just what I needed right now. I just bought a small tea kettle for backpacking and it has no whistle, so I have to create one. The spout of the tea pot is only 1/2 inch in diameter. Very small. Jeff in Colorado
how do you know the exactly sizes (length of the tube, diamenter, shape of the holen etcetera) for achieving the most clear and loud whistle? In your video you don't give no measures. May be that with the same materials and work could get much better results...
MasterBata Yep, except the commercials last only a couple seconds (thank God!) and the background music is much more quiet so that it doesn't distract the viewer from whatever crap they're trying to sell.
does not need the o-ring. it will work better without because it will slide more easily, so it's easier to move the slide faster. check out vintage birdcage automata to see proper whistle job
Hand reamed and you have a lathe? Personally I would have gone for a press fit. Silver soldering is very strong but it never looks neat and I hate how the heat discolours the brass. Too much rework after.
I wouldn't trust a press fit over time though being in contact with hot and cold cycles. It would have to be a hot press fit, which at that point I could just as well solder it anyway.
I am from the Caribbean so I never really considered the temperature cycles on any of my projects. I am sure even in temperate zones they do a lot of press fits. I am no machinist. Just hobby stuff like you so I may be off here but I find about 4 thou works fine. Someone like Stefan Gotteswinter might be in a better position to chime in on what is appropriate for the diameter and temperature variations.
I probably could, with sufficient research into it. I don't know even the first part what goes into them. I looked and found there are many videos about it on RUclips already though, like this excellent one: ruclips.net/video/wQ_cw2sXPEA/видео.html
Haha! Depends entirely on the topic. Put me in a garden and set me to keep it alive and flourishing and I turn into a cro-magnon person. Ama, teşekkürler! :)
I haven't switched, I'm doing both. In reality the production time goes up dramatically with narration and the video becomes less interestingly cut. For videos like these that don't require a lot of input, where it's more clear what I'm doing, I'd rather keep it without narration and have more fun editing the video.
Dogs bark and yet the caravan passes. ROLF, Non Sequitur on instagram. Following in that light, that file was very high quality looking to me. Can you please ask me where you got it ~¿~. Love all these simple musical instruments...especially the 35k year old 5 hole one made from bird bone found in Germany. Thank you Daniel! I will warble on non sequiturely now, until next time. ~PJ
Oh my god! You’re right! I really should stop getting equipment, making a tiny part and then throwing away the equipment. This is really destroying my personal economy! Or if you failed to get that sarcasm, stop being obtuse and watch my FAQ video where I cover your comment in detail and why it is so abysmally ignorant.
Hey I really like your videos, but I'm sorry, this music, it's hard to listen to, really. It makes you insane to be forced to listen to a song that repeats exactly every 8 bars ! If you're not gonna talk, leave the sound of you working, we ain't exactly here to listen to some music, especially some bad ones ;)
Or how about I continue making the videos I like, and if you find them not to your liking you don't watch them? I think that sounds like a better deal all around, as the person I'm first and foremost making videos for is me. Not to mention that the videos would be getting copyright strikes left and right due to music playing in the workshop while I work. Don't know where you feel you're forced to listen though, I'm sure you know how a volume button works.
I will most likely never make a whistle yet I sit and watch the whole thing, your videos are always so nicely put together. ❤️👍🏻
Looks great, well done!
I especially like that the single tone version can be made without a lathe, so I might have a go at one...
Cool techniques using the piece of wood with the hole drilled in it to find the angle!
Beautiful, simple and effective.

What is the angle of the cut you made into the wood block at 1:03? Great project by the way!
yep I thought you might be going down the fire piston road too. Regardless Great wideo, Awesome proyect, a true home run... Love your channel. . .

Lmao this track is found in every DIY vids. I suggest you use lofi/chillhop music or something calm and rhythmic the sort like the ones used in KMA.

wondering how I would make a whistle that runs on a trickle of air or gas for leak detection? Those whistles need lungs
how do you know the exactly sizes (length of the tube, diamenter, shape of the holen etcetera) for achieving the most clear and loud whistle?
In your video you don't give no measures. May be that with the same materials and work could get much better results...
Nicely done.
Didn't sound right, is too much air getting through?
I think it's simply too short and narrow, making too high-pitched sound for us to hear. I did that mistake when I made my first whistle with wood.
What size or angle file is that? That I'd ask for at a hardware store
Great project, enjoyed.
Cheers man! I appreciate it!
What angles do you use for the insert and opening? Or am I just a little full and uninformed? I have always struggled to get a whistle to sound...
The angle isn't all that important, the key is to direct the air stream towards the sharp edge at the far side of the hole we filed up.
I tried making one and it worked until I soldered it. Will try again.
that is awesome - this opens up a couple of things for me! thanks - sorry i took so long to reply internet access has been a little issue....
Awesome Video!!! 👍👍👍
Nice little project, absolutely awful music. It's like one of those generic tunes they use for commercials...
You can't please everyone, if you don't like it you can just mute it :)
MasterBata Yep, except the commercials last only a couple seconds (thank God!) and the background music is much more quiet so that it doesn't distract the viewer from whatever crap they're trying to sell.
I made some of these in shop class many years ago!
👍👍👍Grandios!

Does not need it maybe, but works better with it if the fits aren't very tight. Never did I make this out to be a "proper whistle job" 🙂
Can't stop whistling that damn song.

could you make one of those wooden pipe organ pipes? preferable the bigger ones. i once tried myself but it didnt make a sound v_v

0:16 Independence Day (1996 film) parody?
Haha! I don't know what it was, I just had fun 3D modeling :)
@@SwitchAndLever I wondered where that came from!
I quite liked the music. The whistling was not lost on me.
I want one!
Locktite should work just as well if you don't have a solder.
I would not put Loctite, even cured, in my mouth.
Nice tools )
3:19 "All that for a drop of solder."
I don’t have all those power tools, but I’ll bet I could make one of those whistles with just a file and a hacksaw.
You’ll get a sharper pitch if you sharpen the flute
nice music !
You are a smart man, by any stretch of the word! :D

I thought I was going to go insane listening to that music loop so many times. lol. I didn't though, at least I think I didn't.
I don't like the background song, it's so basic
Then turn off the audio :)
Switch & Lever I did
Switch & Lever why the switch to commentaryless video?

I made a wooden whistle but it wooden whistle. I made a steel whistle and I steel couldn't whistle. So I made a tin whistle..... Now I tin whistle.
0:44 well
That freaked out my dog
3:02 how to make a brass whistle look ugly
I want someone to do this large scale and use em as muffler tips hahaha
Love ur vids man
I miss you talking and describing your process and cracking jokes. :)
I'm only doing one of these non talky videos every now and then, there's no cause for missdom! :)
Great production but damn if that music isn't as annoying as Mr Roger's Neighborhood.

It's a Vallorbe file, gotten from a local supplier in Sweden.
Hotel doormen use these
The background music killed this video for me.
Well you can't please everyone :)

That song........................ seriously
Yeah, it's a great song!
