I LOVE it! I watched your video 3 times and just finished my own- with a twist. I added 3 legs to the bottom and shaped my whistle like a rocket. A Christmas gift for a friend’s little boy.
Hallo Tomislav, another Great Video. When I was younger we used to carve them ourselves out of elder branches until my Brother came to the idea that i can turn one. I turned it for him. Nice to see that you are making these!
I think in near future parents will send me rather angry emails😂😂, let me know reaction of the kids when you make it,as even better the parents 😅 Thank you Randy as always for watching and comment
Thank you, Sir!!! I have watched several of your videos now. I so appreciate your attention to detail, your tool-work, and helping me understand that it’s not enough to just make things functional, but that the details do make the difference. It is also of great comfort the way you empower confidence in your viewers. Your patience with your work yields awesome results.😊
Followed your video and made my first whistle from a piece of beech I recovered from a downed tree on my property. Came out pretty decent and sounds great. Thanks pal!
The skew was very sharp, I can tell you sharpened it for this video, there is a saying ''If you allow a tool go blunt, the Devil can sit on it's edge''. The whistle is brilliant. Gaz UK.
Fun project Tomislav! Really like the use of these projects for skew practice. I made several of these a while ago and they are a lot of fun to make. If you drill a small hole about 1/4 or so down from the cutout, you can get a two note whistle. When I made mine, I didn't use them as skew practice -- need to do that in the future. I really like the design you used around the mouthpiece -- sanding that shape really makes it look good.
I’ve just watched the video, and then went down and played at making one. My grand daughter is going to love it (but the Mrs, or her Mum,) won’t be so happy🤣. Many thanks, expert tuition as always.👍👍
Great video thanks. We had unexpected snow here in the UK today so I spent an hour in the worksop and made one, Absolutely brilliant!. Thought it might be nice for the Grand Children but then realised what you meant about being annoying!! Thanks again.
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning You made it easy. You're a good teacher. Now that I have this in my head I want to make an insanely large one that I can hook to an air compressor! Thanks for the video!
A very nice project which I intend to follow by making some Christmas gifts. I particularly like the detailed use of the skew which I've yet to try using. Thanks very much for the detailed explanation and the great video.
@ yes I have demonstrated for Aaw in Raleigh Nc Years ago But my mission is to teach and to build a learning Woodshop in Nicaragua, they are great students, I am taking 3 other woodworkers next month to Nicaragua, and it’s warmer there 😂 Keep teaching your skills to others Tom , it is the biggest reward when one of your student hugs you and says thank you
Great project and I can't wait for my nephew to love me and my sister to curse me. Thanks for what you do! There's so much ambient, time-lapse turning content out there, I'm delighted to find a straight forward how-to video with helpful explanation.
I have made hundreds of these and none of them ever work. Today, I followed your method exactly; even copying the design and it still doesn't work. Yours seem to work first time unless editing makes it look that way 🙂. Well done.....lovely project and skew work. Maybe one day I will make one that does actually whistle. Thanks
The only thing I can suggest is a hole or some other method at the end of the whistle for a lanyard for hunters and boaters...? Tomislav, maybe a good idea for a video would be using the lathe to make additional tools for the lathe, like sanding discs and sanding cylinders. Another great video!
You are a remarkable man! It’s good to see you use your new lathe. I’m turning miniature bird houses for Christmas right now. I will turn this whistle design a little later. My Grandfather was my inspiration for getting into woodworking. He built several pieces of furniture for his grandkids, two stepdaughters and my Grandmother. What was your inspiration??
Thank you very much, I should make bird house, never made one on the lathe. My inspiration is my family and my latest uncle, sounds rough but the drive to make a living doing what you love is great but also difficult and many jobs are not easy,but again with family in mind I overcome anything I can to show them it's possible and to enjoy your work and take pride in it.... I learn that from my late uncle .... you probably still have those pieces to see right?
@ Yes I do. I have a hutch and a coffee table that he built for my late Mother. My daughter has a corner knick-knack shelving display that he built for my late Mother. Have you ever turned the Russian stacked doll sets? You have inspired so many people. Your teaching style is first class. Have a wonderful Christmas!!!
I would like a smaller one to wear on a lanyard, for calling my dogs. They have run of my 20 acres, and my voice is just not loud enough, and metal whistles remind me of my days as a cop. 😉
Thank you for your video! New subscriber and super like! So glad you named it fund my "your" hobby lol. while you inspire me I did cringe through video as a new wood turner, I have become afraid of the skew chisel. Do you have beginner advise to learn the skew without catches?
Hi Thank you for subscribing, I really appreciate that, I have several videos on skew , but don't be afraid of catches, 99%of the time if you are using solid wood without splits, you are safe. It messes up the wood. Its just practice and time
I LOVE it! I watched your video 3 times and just finished my own- with a twist. I added 3 legs to the bottom and shaped my whistle like a rocket. A Christmas gift for a friend’s little boy.
This will no longer be a friend after Christmas once that whistle starts running around the house! I love it.
Sounds great and it will be great surprise and gift,thank you for watching
A rocket whistle.
I wasn’t sure whether I wanted to make one of these but as soon as you said it can be “annoying” now I’m going to make them for my friends kids.😂
"annoying!!" - perhaps you should make them for your enemies' kids. Kind regards.
My grandson sure needs one of these!
Have two grandsons. Two of these should drive there mom and dad nuts
You sound like me, for fun I gave my friends kids durian candy for Halloween. 😂
Always a pleasure to watch a craftsman use a tool like it's an extension of his hands and thoughts!
Thank You Chris
Hallo Tomislav, another Great Video. When I was younger we used to carve them ourselves out of elder branches until my Brother came to the idea that i can turn one. I turned it for him. Nice to see that you are making these!
The way you work with that skew!! 🔥
These are addictive... as seen on my IG page I have been spinning these for last few weeks and cant seem to stop... fun projects!
True,very fun and fast to make
I am going to drive my son NUTS! He has 3 kids from 3-9. Each of them get one of these for Christmas! Thanks for the demo.🤣
Uuuu parents will love me🤣🤣 I still have to give them to my kids, I think I'll wait Christmas but not sure which year 🤣
I like your commentary. Nice and clear and, unlike very very many youtubers in this field, you don't repeat yourself. It's a nice change. Thank you.
Thank you
Pleasure to watch you work. I’m new to the lathe, only about 6 months. I’m looking forward to following your channel. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, I really appreciate that sir
What a great little project. My grandson will love it Christmas morning. Thanks
Not sure if his parents will though 😂
I've got a couple of young granddaughters who will like this! Their parents not so much so that means I HAVE to make a couple! Thanks for the video.
Get them a drum to go with the whistles - the parents will like you even more😀
@gregorymacneil2836 one of them already has a FULL drum set. Gift from the other granddad. And they DO hate it. Lol.
I think in near future parents will send me rather angry emails😂😂, let me know reaction of the kids when you make it,as even better the parents 😅
Thank you Randy as always for watching and comment
My thoughts exactly! 😂
Same thoughts grandson 4 granddaughter 2 my Sons going to love me (pay back time)😂
Thank you for this great and timely video. I have a brand new skew that I haven't yet used. Today is the day!! I appreciate your channel
Today is the day and this kind of projects are great for skew
Thank you, Sir!!! I have watched several of your videos now. I so appreciate your attention to detail, your tool-work, and helping me understand that it’s not enough to just make things functional, but that the details do make the difference.

Thank you sir soo very much, I really appreciate that

Great to hear that 😀 thank you for watching

The whistle is brilliant.

Thanks Gaz
Nice little project. Thanks. Tomi, you make those peeling cuts look so easy and you sure do round up a blank quickly.
Its a pleasure use a skew😀
Going to make for my 7 grandchildren. Pruning my cherry and apple. I will keep the cuttings. Thank you!😊
Great, they will be happy 😀
Fun project Tomislav! Really like the use of these projects for skew practice. I made several of these a while ago and they are a lot of fun to make.

Thank you buddy, I will have to try two tone or with the slider
You have a great presentation style, really enjoyed this video. Thanks Tomislav!
Thank you Rob
I made two today, that’s a fun little lathe project. 😊
You are a craftsman sir! Thanks for a great idea to make a whistle for my grandchildren.
These would be a great way to annoy the other vendors at a craft fair! Thanks for another very good and instructive video!
Until somebody comes up with rattles and/or snares... :P Funny thought though
I’ve just watched the video, and then went down and played at making one. My grand daughter is going to love it (but the Mrs, or her Mum,) won’t be so happy🤣. Many thanks, expert tuition as always.👍👍
Thank you Stuart, important thing is that the kids are happy,thank you for watching
I've never watched a video on making a whistle before.
That was great!
Thank you!
First rate video-very instructive and a great way to use up small scraps of hardwood. I'm going to make whistles for my grandson and his buddy.
Thank you
A very present for the kids of a "good" friend! Thanks for giving us some good ideas for Christmas.
Very nice work Tomislav, I love watching your videos, you explain everything so well. I think I'll try making one as well. Thanks again!!
Appreciate the tutorial, ran out to the shop and made one real quick for the grandkids. Love your channel.
Thank you soo much😀
Turned one for my son many years ago. I used deer antler. He still has it as far as I know. Thanks for the reminder.
Awsome, those can be super loud, thank you for watching and comment
What a great video and project!! Thank you for sharing this.
I love your prowess with the skew..👍
You make it FUN! You did a great job. You are totally pro with that skew. Well Done.
Thank you very much
Top stuff, wish I'd seen this before Christmas 😅
Great instruction as always Tomislav 👍🏻
Thank you sir
I cant wait to tryto make one....., or ten! you did a great job giving good information on making this. thank you!
That looks like a fun project, and a great Christmas gift for a nephew. Great video!!!
Great video thanks. We had unexpected snow here in the UK today so I spent an hour in the worksop and made one, Absolutely brilliant!. Thought it might be nice for the Grand Children but then realised what you meant about being annoying!! Thanks again.
We still expecting the snow,hopefully a lot and glad to hear in UK is snowing and that you tried this😀
That is a lovely little whistle. I'm putting one on the Christmas project list.
I’ve got several grandchildren I should make them all one thank you👍
Very nice little project to play with and learn from.
Nice friendly, accurate, complete information. THANK YOU 🇨🇦😊👍🏻
This looks like a fun project, I'm going to try a few of these to drive parents crazy next spring at the craft shows. Great work Tomi!
Thanks buddy
Great demonstration, love the whistle!
Cool little project. Def gonna have to make my girls some
Your teaching method is great. Cool project. Thank you!
This is a great idea. I was looking for something new to try and you showed me what and how to do it. Thank you!
Glad to help 😀
My dad used to make those whistles out of bamboo for us when we were kids. Nice video!
Great little turning project. Great for using scraps. Thanks
You made is simple to follow. Since my last comment I made a working whistle and it looks OK as well. Thanks!
Glad to hear that 😀 thanks for watching
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning You made it easy. You're a good teacher. Now that I have this in my head I want to make an insanely large one that I can hook to an air compressor! Thanks for the video!
@heliarche that is great idea actually 😄
Simple, fast and really loud indeed. Very instructive as always.
Thank you 😊
A very nice project which I intend to follow by making some Christmas gifts. I particularly like the detailed use of the skew which I've yet to try using. Thanks very much for the detailed explanation and the great video.
Thank you very much
What a wonderful toy for my 4 grandsons LOL!!!!!
Lovely project, one to add to the list. Great skill with the skew too!
Nice project before Xmas make for grandchildren to anoy the parents 👍

Thank you very much😀
Fine I will add it to my projects 😂😂 great video.
Now I have to make one.
Excellent
I’m going to teach making those in Nicaragua when I go back, you are an excellent teacher
I do demonstrations for Klingspor too
Awsome to hear that sir, hopefully we will meet one day at one of the symposiums
@ yes
I have demonstrated for Aaw in Raleigh Nc
Years ago
But my mission is to teach and to build a learning Woodshop in Nicaragua, they are great students, I am taking 3 other woodworkers next month to Nicaragua, and it’s warmer there 😂
Keep teaching your skills to others Tom , it is the biggest reward when one of your student hugs you and says thank you
Beautiful skew working mate 👍
Thank you sir
Great Project. I'm going to add this to my "To Do" list.
Great project and I can't wait for my nephew to love me and my sister to curse me. Thanks for what you do! There's so much ambient, time-lapse turning content out there, I'm delighted to find a straight forward how-to video with helpful explanation.
Thank you very much 😊 just don't tell I show you this😂
Hi, I love this video. You are a master of the dreaded skew. I wish I was. Tanks David , in the UK
Thank you David,I'm far from master, I have a lot to learn but I really like my job so I enjoy learning. Its all about time and practice
Nice, great little project, thanks for sharing Tommi.
Thank you. Excellent video, great skew work.
You are a very gifted turner❤
Thank you Drew
Very nice, another great project. Thanks
Lovely video! Thank you for showing how to make these!
What a great little project. Fun. And clearly and simply presented. Luv it. I’m a new subscriber! 👍🏼🎅🏻😊
Awsome, thank you so much
Thanks Tomislav for the idea for my market in December 😊❤
Thats such a cool idea thanks buddy ill be making some soon my bearing will be here soon back to turning
Buen trabajo, también me pareció buena idea la del cilindro de lijado 👍
I have made hundreds of these and none of them ever work. Today, I followed your method exactly; even copying the design and it still doesn't work. Yours seem to work first time unless editing makes it look that way 🙂. Well done.....lovely project and skew work. Maybe one day I will make one that does actually whistle. Thanks
I made one today ... it works great!
Hmmm I would have to see what you are doing to maybe say what is wrong but most of the time it does not work if the cut out is wrong way.
This will be fun for the grandkids.
Watched earlier today , then made two one cedar one spalted holly both loud and proud. Thanks
Awsome to hear that, 😀 thank you for watching
Çok güzel olmuş. Ellerinize sağlık.
Very interesting and skillful turning
The only thing I can suggest is a hole or some other method at the end of the whistle for a lanyard for hunters and boaters...?
Tomislav, maybe a good idea for a video would be using the lathe to make additional tools for the lathe, like sanding discs and sanding cylinders.
Another great video!
I find his videos not only fun to watch, but also instructive. I learn a lot from watching such a skilled turner.
Thank you ,for sure something other then a foot on the end is good idea and useful one.... I have in plan to make those videos as well
It's been a while since I subscribed to a new woodworking channel. I like your style. 👌
Thank you I really appreciate that
Love your video! I can't wait to see more. New sub from US
Thank you, I really appreciate that
Very nice project, great performance!!
Bravo Mastery...😊😊😊
Really nice and a well produced video.
Thank you
Awesome job. You the man 💯
Excellent video. Subscribed and will make one later after work.
And I call that part of my hand for chisels the "meat mallet."
I made one. It's so much fun. And the neighbour's dog responds to it. Guess I'm making him one as well...
Glad to hear that and thank you soo much for watching and comment 😊
You might want to keep that to yourself.
Beautiful whistle

Fantastic video.😊
Wait, what? Lathes can be used for things other than bowls?
😂
Who would known that😅thanks for watching
This can't be true! These are awesome whistles!
Great project!
I'm sure my grandson would love it, my son and his girlfriend, maybe not. Guess I'll be making one 🤪
Looking forward to hear reactions from parents 😀
I have to try this!
Great video 👏 You got yourself a new subscriber.
Thank you, I really appreciate that
Nice little whistle. You're close to making a penny whistle.
Looks awesome
Great project.
Liked and subscribed.
Thanks from Chicago
Awesome, thank you I appreciate that 😀
Lovely whistle - thank you. If you drill a smaller hole does the pitch change?
Pitch depends on the chamber length to a large extent, longer is deeper tone
Best things is to try different hole size and depth, and see what works
@@tomislavtomasicwoodturning Thank you.
@@ianbedwell4871 thank you
very nice whistle
Old guitar strings make good wire burners. You even get a (limited) choice of wire widths!
Heading out right now to give this a shot. I have a chunk of Hickory.
Looking forward to hear the results 😀
Gr8 little project thanks for showing us ,i will put it on my to do list ,Ive liked and subd you ,greetings from Wales UK .
Thanks for watching 😀
I would like a smaller one to wear on a lanyard, for calling my dogs. They have run of my 20 acres, and my voice is just not loud enough, and metal whistles remind me of my days as a cop. 😉
Try it, hopefully no other animal won't come running 😄

You should include those with a lanyard and advertise them as safety whistles
