Small look into Duende Didgeridoo workshop where you can see how a log that weighs more then 50kg gets turned into a one-piece didgeridoo by Dubravko Lapaine. www.duendedidge...
Wow thats an awesome finish it looks super smooth on the outside and inside. What did you use to finish it ? Ha and seeing that the mouthpiece is not in the middle is awesome! Because there is no perfection at first, you need to work around it, make it work and then when its finished it looks like perfect symmetry. This video is awesome seeing you work in your workshop, seeing your workshop and how hard the wood is actually. Explains your "buffness" haha, lifting and shifting those heavy logs, slowly removing layer after layer. Taking away most of its weight while carefully refining it, forming the character of the didge. Thank you for this Du, thats highly inspirational. And if more videos like this are to come, i would be delighted!
Thank you for your nice comment. We plan to have more videos like this coming, so stay tuned :-) Mouthpiece is not in the center of the wood because there were so many other factors to consider like some cracks on the outside of the log, the center is not totally straight in the middle and so on - the decision how to position the bore comes individually for each log. Like you say, they don't come "perfect" into the workshop. Finishing... many layers... oil, shellac, PU, buffed wax... always a long story to do well...
Gospodin Lapaine, i have a question. I only see videos where makers chisel out the bell, but never how they drill the bore. What drills are used? Can you make a video on that please? What an amazing didge you made!
Hello Bartyron! It is quite understandable that you can see only chiseling. There are two reasons for that. Many more makers chisel than drill because many makers make didges out of termite hollowed sticks. Those makers who figured drilling out did it mostly by their own (significant) efforts and significant stack of trial and errors. And maybe those makers make a living and support their family by making didges. So you can situation also that they would deliberately make a move of helping their competition for free. This might put them in a non enviable position, do you agree? However, if you skim my homepage a bit, you will find some links on how to start drilling. And I will make some more videos on that matter as I make a new drilling machine right now and I will show it. All the best!
The reason you mention could well be the case. Thank you for your reply. I am eagerly awaiting your video on the subject. My drills never get all the way through and get stuck halfway. Thanks again and keep up the excellent video's!!
You are probably right that about the reason. I just found some interesting videos on the making of fujara flutes. They use spoon drills. Often hand operated. I used speed drills for my first attempts and they failed miserably (including a sprained wrist due to the blocking of the drillbit while drilling at considerable speed). >>>Caution there for the players at home
