Yes, I love the new shop!

Grate project Gary The grand kids will love this one . Good to see you are enjoying your new work shop . :)

Good job. I found one made out of a 30-06 made around ww1 . By my grandfather that served in the army.

270 is a necked down 30/06....a 7mm/06 if you will.

That is absolutely brilliant!

Well, Gary....... I hadn't made a whistle in ages, so figured to watch how you made yours. I'd never seen someone make a silent dog whistle before! Of course it wasn't silent, but my old man ears sure couldn't hear a dad blamed thing, not so much as a tiny squeak! Lol.

Nice that .

Well done man👍

Cool. Reminds me of an officer’s whistle from WWI.

Hola crack maquina!!

Years ago my grandpa had a willow tree in his back yard. One day he told me to fetch some sticks that were soaking in the rain barrel behind his garden shed. He proceeded to make me a whistle out of a willow branch. Still have that whistle 55 years later. Sits in my gun cabinet on a shelf with some other things of sentimental value. Your video reminded me of the time I spent with him on that afternoon so long ago. Thanks Gary! Cheers, Whipple By the way, how his that shoulder of your's healing up? Feeling strong again?

The shoulder is getting better very slowly, it’s still very painful.

For the deluxe version, a fellow could punch out the used primer (USA-made cases are preferred as they use the single-hole Boxer primer system) and solder ring in there for a lanyard.

Whistle while you work 0:12

I am thinking you didn’t push the plug in far enough. I make the exact same design out of dried River cane and wood, and the whistles are ear piercing.

That's ace. Would it still work if the plug was wooden instead of brass?

Strewth, what in England would anyone be using a 270 winchester round on? It would turn a fox in to a pink mist... even a deer it would bruise a lot of the meat.

@otdj3794

Muntjack possibly, deer most likely, fox very possibly. It doesn't really matter if it turns to pink mist, you only killing it to stop it eating other things. We have a calibre requirement for deer .243 is the smallest we can legally use on them.

As an American, I can tell you confidently that you're incorrect. .270 Winchester is actually on the smaller side for hunting cartridges.

I thought firearms were heavily restricted in the UK. How is it that someone was shooting in some random place where you were walking your dog?

The deer numbers have to be kept down so the farmers don't loose too many crops. There are men licensed to kill a certain amount per month/year. Then the meat is sold locally. They have tree platforms all around the area.

Strange thought. Did you report finding the shells?

You must be from the UK lol. You guys really need to fix your gun phobia.

Bullet casings? Cartridges old chap! Stand to for weapon inspection! "I have no live rounds or empty cartridge cases in my possession SIR!" I know it's hard to believe but a lot of soldiers used to have a nice little side line in scrap collecting.
