Would definitely like one of those aprons. I came looking for tips for designing a whistle for 3D printing and was blown away by this video. Simple and no power tools. Gorgeous.
Very cool! My Dad taught me to make whistles from green poplar and willow branches years ago. It'd be great to be able to make whistles from dried timber and show him how, so many years later! Kind of a full circle project. I think that we'll do that this Father's Day since I am still fortunate enough to have my father with me. Thanks for the inspiration James!
Hi James. Just ran across this video and just in time, too. My grandson's birthday party is tomorrow and this is going to be a present for him. His parents deserve it. Hehehe. When you mentioned about not going too far into the hole when cutting the angle and not getting chips in the hole I thought a tip would be to put in a sacrificial piece of dowel to cover the hole while chiseling the angles. I'm going to try this tomorrow. Thanks for the idea.
I love this project. I'm teaching a woodworking class to kids at a summer camp this year and I've been looking for projects to do with them. This is perfect.
This is such a well timed video! My old dog is going really deaf and I was talking with my wife just today about trying to retrain him with a whistle as he can't hear voice commands anymore. Out to the shed I go! P.S. I would love one of those aprons 😉
I would very much like an apron. I have thoroughly enjoyed your channel. You don't know it, but you really helped me stay sane while I finished my Master's degree. Thank you for all of the content and especially your attitude about the work you do.
I enjoyed the project & the video. I wish I could see a close up view into the notch. I watched twice looking for clarification, which did help. Thanks for posting it.
I watch several woodworking channels, but I always come back to yours because I feel like yours is true "wood working". Always a pleasure to watch you make just about everything by hand...except for that Triton planer you use (I guess for your sanity). Great job as always.
Watched this with my kids and they want one now. Enjoying your how to videos and pleased that you are part of the resurgence of woodworking hand tools. Those old tools are very affordable and with your help and instruction fairly easy to use. Thanks.
Hi, it's usually a good sign when someone is inspired by your work... I made one today in one hour. I have kids and they were thrilled with my build. Man, that felt good. Thanks! 🙏
I love purple heart. My grandson gave me a 4 board-foot slab that I use to make scales for knife handles with damascus steel blanks. The combination is beautiful!
I LOVE this! I might make this for Father's day just to give to my 2 year old (he hasn't quite figured out how to shop for planes just yet). I'm curious about making this into a slide whistle too, but I love the inspiration. Thanks!
Great project! I was thinking about a father's day project for my sons and this might be a fun one. Just want to say thank you for the opportunity to win one of your aprons. I like the look of them and would enjoy winning one. Whether I win one or not I really want to express my appreciation for all you do for the woodworking community. THANK YOU! P. S. Congratulations to all the winners.
James, I’ve been watching for a while and I love your channel. I watch you than Alec Steele, in that order every day! Great build on the whistle. FYI, I’m working on my hand tool build for your challenge, can’t wait to submit it.
My grandad use to make these with me when I was a little kid and would only let me use handtools. Thanks for reminding me of such great memories!! Love your work and the channel. Have learned a ton from you!!
Just wanted to say thanks again. Made these with the kids for father's day. No power tools and they had a ball. Meant so much to them! Thanks for bringing it back for my family!!

This whistle would make any kids day, and a great looking apron would make any wood workers Father’s Day.
Very easy to follow video , just what I wanted. I plain to make 3 of these for my grandkids. Thank you for your help
What a fun little project. I am working with wood from skids and will try making some whistles for the grandkids.
Great video. Something simple I can make for my little nephew for Christmas.

Fun little project. Think I’ll make one tomorrow before work.
Well done! I like the idea of working with the kids on this project.
Great small hand tool project for someone wanting to practice with hand tool only pieces
Nice project to do with my daughter, and good looking apron too.
great little project. I am going to make a few this weekend with my kids.

Sweet. Glad you are not my dad. Lol
My kids like helping me in the shop this would be a good starter project for us to do together.
Cool little project. Gonna have to try it with my kiddo.
Great project! Going to try to make a couple with the kids.

Seems like a fun project to make with kids. I'll have to save that for when my daughter get older.
Great, easy project! I'll have to give it a try with the kids!
That apron would be a welcome upgrade to my harbor freight apron.
Fun project. It has inspired me to make a whistle with my son
Very nice. I copied a wooden whistle like that when I was a kid with help from my dad.
Purple Heart is awesome, and lol you testing the whistle after putting the dowel in drove my dogs crazy
Le'Jackal Creations XD
I made few whistles for kids. Nice project!
I enjoyed the project & the video. I wish I could see a close up view into the notch. I watched twice looking for clarification, which did help. Thanks for posting it.
I never thought I would hope for an apron for Father's Day, but sudenly that has become the case.

The Wooden Whistle is a great project for Boy Scouts. Thanks
James at his finest. Thinking of his kids while tooting his own horn, better hope they don't blow the whistle on ya. :)
Watched this with my kids and they want one now. Enjoying your how to videos and pleased that you are part of the resurgence of woodworking hand tools. Those old tools are very affordable and with your help and instruction fairly easy to use.
Thanks.
There's a mosquito in my workshop! I need an apron to protect myself. :) Making these whistles on the lathe would be a nice touch.
Cool whistle, clear and easy thank you.
Great idea. I am going to try turning one on my lathe. Thanks
Hi, it's usually a good sign when someone is inspired by your work... I made one today in one hour. I have kids and they were thrilled with my build. Man, that felt good. Thanks! 🙏
Nice man. I love it!
Absolute beauty in hand made craftsmanship!
My daughter loves this whistle. Thx
Great project. It will be fun to share some shop time with my granddaughter and make one of these. She will love it
Purpleheart is easily my favorite wood. I'm just starting but this would be a fun project to practice with.
Whistle Stop Cafe. Thinking of trying one with a loose dowel in the back end for a slide whistle.
Great project that I'll be doing with my son thanks
I love this! Simple project to do with limited tools and probably one I'll do with my 4 year old daughter. Should be fun.
A project that would be great to do with my grandson. That apron would be a sweet gift for me as well.
Can’t wait to make some as Christmas gifts and use up some small scraps.
Fantastic idea!
I love purple heart. My grandson gave me a 4 board-foot slab that I use to make scales for knife handles with damascus steel blanks. The combination is beautiful!
That very first sentence gets this clip an automatic thumbs up!!! 😆 🤣 😂 👍👍👍
That apron would look so purdy next to the new bench you guys are helping me build over on Fbook. Thanks!
That looks so easy! Looks like my maple scraps will be turning in to whistles!
Happy Father's Day!
An apron would be a great fathers day present.
This would be a great project for the kids. Thanks for the video
Enjoyed the whistle. It took me back to making one from a stick with my dad. Thanks.
I'll be trying to make this tomorrow!
New dad here - would love an apron for Father's Day!
Very nice project ! One more project in the long list....
That is a great little project. Thanks for sharing.
Great small project. Looking forward to making this with my boys!
I have lots of pen blanks and I think this would be a great project to do with the kids. Thanks for the insperation as always.
Down below. That whistle looks fun to make. My son had one that sounded like a train engine when he was younger. I should make him one of these.
your projects are always ones beginners like i can take on, thanks!
I'm a beginner and I appreciate your instructions. Thanks
Thanks Richard. I will keep them comming!
I'm probably just whistling into the wind here but.... I REALLY need an apron. 😁
My two year-old loves watching these with me, maybe I'll wake up to a wooden whistle one of these days
i often wondered how to make those wooded whistles. Thanks
I LOVE this! I might make this for Father's day just to give to my 2 year old (he hasn't quite figured out how to shop for planes just yet).
I'm curious about making this into a slide whistle too, but I love the inspiration. Thanks!
Fun project! I had a wood whistle when I was a kid, loved it! I'll make one for my son.
Have a wonderful day!
Cool project going to do one for my dad for Father's day. It's been awhile since I have made him something. Thanks for the idea!
This is a great little project. Thanks for sharing. I hope to have my son help me make a couple of them on Father's day.
great project , the simplicity of it accentuates the beautiful wood really well.
Great job I’m going to try this my self
All aboard the whistle express 😁👍🏻
Ah a whistle, one of the best toys i had when i was a kid. great job James

Nice and quick little project
An apron will be one more thing for me to start woodworking!
Good luck to everyone! Can't wait to see who wins.
James i love your videos, your explanation of the process is easy to understand and I really dog the music!
thanks Mark. that means a lot
Great video... This would be a great project for kids to make -- especially for Father's Day!
Lovely idea, James - I can whistle while I work, using the whistle that I worked!!!
Awesome idea for the kids! And the idea of making tone holes is interesting too; you could make a simple flute to play some tunes on!
My grandad use to make these with me when I was a little kid and would only let me use handtools. Thanks for reminding me of such great memories!! Love your work and the channel. Have learned a ton from you!!
thanks Jeff! that means a lot!
Just wanted to say thanks again. Made these with the kids for father's day. No power tools and they had a ball. Meant so much to them! Thanks for bringing it back for my family!!
Sweet Jeff. that is the best compliment ever! that is what I like to hear. keep being the great dad!
Enjoyed the video. Thank you for your passion in crafting in wood.
Nice project to do with the kids.
Nice. No scrap goes to waste.
A nice little project to complete with my sons, thanks for the videos!
Love the whistle. I will be making 3 for my Grandsons.
I'm amazed at how you managed to make a whistle project turn Major Cool !!
Love Purple Heart ! Nice starter project for the kids and I love that apron too!!!
A great project to do with my kids
Really like the short but sweet projects. Awesome video!
Great video as always! I thoroughly enjoy how you break down projects to easy to follow steps and encourage everyone that they can make stuff too.
Nice quick little project.
I love Purple Heart. What a great project for it!
I’m gonna make one in the am and that’s a nice apron
Great video - I’ll be making one of these for my granddaughter this weekend.
Cool little project, something I need to do with my nephews some day!
A simple project that make me think on doing something similar. Thanks.
Nice one love the colour of the wood
