Aw brilliant! These are really cool - looking forward to their associated videos. I'm not sure if you remember or not but I commented on one of your axe videos about finding limestone... it was sandstone. So we very quickly made useless axeheads (lol!). Loving your channel! Peace.
Argillite and siltstone can also be used sufficiently well as flint replacement. They will dull out very quickly, but you can practice knapping skills on them because of their conchoidal fractures.
Sure I remember! While sandstone isn't suitable for making tools out of, it can be very useful for grinding them. It took me quite a while until I found some sandstone in my area, so remember where you found yours - it might come in handy at some point.
@@MakeItPrimitive We're pretty lucky round here in terms of sandstone (East Fife, Scotland) but it's the limestone I can't find. We're right on the beach so I might find something suitable down there. Thanks again for sharing! I'll be back to reference again once I find something suitable.
Ok, how do you stop the airy sound? I tried making an elder flute and it sounded very airy at first, than I tried to hollow it out more which helped a little; I could tell the difference between notes with each hole I covered, which I couldn't before it was hollowed out more. Explanation?
That's a tough one that I haven't quite figured out myself yet. I think that's because a lot of factors cound be at fault. It helps to clean the inner walls of the sound chamber of any fuzzy bits of remaining pith. Make sure that all the edges on your fipple are sharp and well-defined. Try experimenting with a steeper "ramp" that leads the air towards the fipple. But I guess a certain airiness is just one of the characteristics of this simple V-notch fipple. I have started experimenting with other fipple shapes, but haven't made much progress so far. Once I do, there will definitely be a video about it. By the way, you could try the "native american" type flute instead. It has a very different sound to it, which is also much less airy: th-cam.com/video/cOPnl7SaQa4/w-d-xo.html
