How to make a Brass Pea Whistle - and Getting it to Work!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
My Limited Run 200 Kumiko Starter Kit: paskmakes.com/the-pask-makes-...
As I've just been away from home for nearly three weeks I took the opportunity to make and film a couple of projects while on the road. It was a last minute decision which left me without my camera, microphone or any lighting. I decided to manage and shot the projects on my phone. I'm not quite sure what to make of it but I will be getting back to normal now I'm back home and using my real camera.
Making a brass whistle has been on my list for a while and as I needed a small and fun project while staying at Corin's, I thought this would work well.
As always I'm happy to answer any questions.

Made me laugh my butt off when you said it didn't matter about scribing with the calipers because they weren't your's anyway, lol. This was a fun project. Btw... didn't even know those power file machines were a thing. Seems they're pretty handy.

My grandfather was a nutritionist and trainer at NASA during the Apollo program. I have the pea whistle he blew while putting astronauts through their paces. It's an Acme Thunderer, and though the nickel plating has decayed it's still LOUD. Thanks for reminding me of it, and him!

100db is the standard description of a symphony orchestra playing forte or a really noisy home power tool. The warble helps other people locate the source of the sound. A rattling sound is much easier. Pure tones are difficult to place because the echo is the same note as the source. Your mind can tell which sound came first without you having to think about it.

For the vinyl mask, if you put it on the whistle before weeding it, then weed it off of the whistle itself, you'll be able to save those tiny inner pieces (so long as you don't lose them when plotting them).

Pask makes me remember and appreciate the fact that everything needs a maker. Sort of like every glass of milk needs a cow. Were dried peas initially used and inserted before the whistles were soldered? Cork makes more sense.

Both my dogs were intrigued and really happy to watch the screen when you blew the whistle without the ball, with the ball they didn't like it nearly as much, so I guess they're siding with you on preferring the sound without 😉 And I would love to see a knife making course video if you have the time to put it together! 😃

Hey Neil. Fun video and yes it would be great to see the knife making video.
Very neat! I'm the world's worst when it comes to soldering and always say I'm going to practice more.... but never do. Maybe a whistle would be a good project.... I've always used Bluing compound on brass and copper. It works wonderfully and if you don't clean the metal really well, I've found that the randomness gives you a very nice "vintage" look to whatever you're making. Basically, all you're doing is speeding up the natural process that would patinate the copper/brass eventually. I'll paint the solution on real haphazardly, with no worry about cleaning the metal, then go over it with fine steel wool to blend things. Makes brand new pieces look a century old.

@@corinkayaker Hope you like it as much as I do. I can't remember the last time I cleaned copper or brass before bluing it. If you want the deep rich blue like on a rifle barrel, you have to polish the metal to a mirror shine and clean it perfectly with alcohol or spirits. But if you're just looking for that vintage patina.... all the oils and grime on the metal just help make the coat uneven like would happen naturally. Then it's just a matter of rubbing down with steel wool. You can add dabs of bluing here and there, wiping it away with the wool and then adding more, just to tweak it how you like. Next thing you know, you're running around the house looking for more copper and brass bits you can tarnish! 😁
