- In the video linked below, I cut and sanded a coconut shell to use in a craft project - well, here is that project - I used the shell to make a sounding box for a Kalimba - an African-style thumb piano which uses spring steel keys that are plucked to make a sound.
If you'd like to see how I prepared the shell, here's part 1 of this project:
• Crafting With Coconut ...
I also mentioned a boatbuilder named Hannu Vartiala in the video - here's a link to his site: hvartial.kapsi.fi/
I was given a ‘coconut thumb piano’ years ago - I didn’t know it was called a kalimba! The coconut felt beautiful. It only had six keys though - I wonder if you have a few too many in there?
Looks like poplar wood. It's common for pallets
I believe that you simply added to many tines to such a small kalimba, myself. Look at the Hokema B7 or Hokema B5 and they would show less tines than what you used for a much better sound and less crowding. Nice video and thanks for sharing.
Hearing the wood tap together instantly made me think of dominos
You're right - I was trying to think where I had heard the sound.
Those would make nice speakers.
That's a great idea. May do that in future
Try sanding sealer to stop the imperfections in the wood showing.
What a beautiful little thing
You talked about your boat, is this a full size one you built yourself?, really like the vids!
Wow..I never even thought about this idea.. So awesome
looks like a dark walnut for the little bar of wood the keys are attached to.
the wood'd make a good pen
Great video mate!
Love the vids mate, keep em coming!. Is it my ears or does your drill sound like its on the hammer setting? Also is it really necessary to drill I pilot hole when using spade bits? Cheers
The drill does sometimes get accidentally put on (or half-on) hammer setting, as the spindle lock is in the middle of the hammer mode slide switch, but I don't think that's what happened here.
The drill actually sounds really sick and I suspect it will not be long before it makes its final journey to the land where power tools are eternally blessed. I think it has an internal gearbox that is wearing poorly, possibly due to intrusion of grit in some earlier bit of DIY.
I don't bother with pilot holes for spade bits if I am drilling softwood, or using them in a drill press with the workpiece clamped down, but with a handheld drill, into hard timber, I've had mishaps in the past where the pilot point skips out while the thing is spinning up.
AtomicShrimp ah right, I shall remember that! Anyway excellent work, keep it up!
Do you have a video of the boat you mentioned? Whether or not, I found this very interesting.
I can't remember if I was talking about the small outrigger boat I made in this video, or some other boat - if the firmer, here are some links:

Most of it was on my website:
atomicshrimp.com/tag/Boat
It's a Miranti wood
This is asmr lowkey
it probably a rosewood
Thought it was called a jigsaw.
That's what I would normally call it, but either/or.
