The end result is beautiful.. great sound as well! I am curious because I plan to make my first instrument this year with a piece I have been curing for the past year. Why did you choose to hollow out the inside by hand instead of with a machine? I would guess you have an angle grinder if you have all of the other machines. Just wondering why you choose to do this part manually. Thanks! :)
Having made 2 didjes, using this method myself, i would guess he lost just about Zero blanks to the bandsaw. But if your wood is not well seasoned (often the case) it's important to get the job done within the shortest time possible, so you can glue the halves together before twisting/distortion sets in. Best results with heavy/dense woods - If you go with Pine or similar, i recommend choosing a thick old log, of a SHAPE YOU LIKE, - so you can remove the outer 5-10 cm and end up with an instrument that's heartwood, through and through. But check out the shape of the bore - on instruments that SOUND THE BEST TO YOUR EAR before starting the project. The bore of Aussie-Thermite-instruments have certain irregularities - some of which can improve tonal qualities.Good Luck
Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me what you've found the best bandsaw blade to use is (I've been told a 1/2 inch rakker blade). How wide is the kerf? Appreciate any help.
i am at the momemt playing on a tube with 6,5 mm opening and its very intetesting. i am going to make a copy a tube found in a viking grave and the tube has an opening at 8mm.
Hi ,yes you can ,just only what happens almost with all woods as you call them,, dead"(they are still alive in different form haha)they would be definitely attack by bugs inside ,so you can apply some filer's and job done ,you can use anything my friend the only question is how much time and how much money you will be able to apply in your project,I personally did it in my past and didge play super,it was old plum tree in my back yard ,later I did sold him for reasonable price,stay in peace
Great sound!!!
Epic creating brother, a pleasure to watch! Thank you😊

Very haunting..... I ENJOYED EVERY SECOND!!!!!
So cool. Thanks very much for sharing. Can't wait to try making one of my own.
The tone of this didg is great. Intimidating.
Thank you soooo much!!! YOU ARE THE BEST...!!! GOD BLESS MY FRIEND...
What are those attachments for your drill you use to sand the inside of the mouthpiece? I can't seem to find them.
Imagine waiting 2 years for your wood to dry and then fucking up one small step in the sanding proces...
this was pretty dope i like your style -

I wonder how many blanks you lose learning to split a log vertically with a band saw

Hello: Instead of drying a piece for 2 yrs, what about a tree limb of a dead tree?. Would that work you think? M.
