Hello to All,<br><br> I've been reading the past posts up to 1450 right now. I have seen dissucions of inlay work and making nests for the bird.<br><br> If ...
I am really looking forward to Ft. Walton and meeting many of you there. I wish some of the earlier members who helped Dusty launch this club could be there ...
Some days just don't go right. And sometimes the next day and day after that either. I have this small D that has NO voice on the top holes and wondered why....
Im curious how you manage to get the nest area perfectly flat, sanding and finishing, if it is recessed? I see a lot of flutes done this way but haven't found...
I have seen and read about 5 and 6 hole N.A.F.'s and I now have a book on them and it shows the different fingerings for both and shares on the history and ...
This is Wakiyan Luta. I've moved(still on the rez.) I lost my password and old puter died. so I'm now wakiyan_i according to yahoo. old profile still good....
Some in this group have made thousands of flutes. I am more of newcomer like yourself. But I do have both styles. I recomend you start with a 5 hole. It is ...
You'll find fiercely loyal devotees of both types here, Randy. Dusty seems to prefer 5-hole; I like 6-hole, initially because it was an easier transition from...
Dusty,<br><br> The way I get the nest area flat is with a high quality straight plunge style router bit, they are used to make stopped dadoes and rabbets. I...
Over the past week or so I have been directing my niece on "how to make a flute". It was, of all things, a math project for her to analyze how music related to...
No we didn't just lose a member. I just deleted my olo ID from the list. I had lost my old ID and started using a new one. <br><br> Well back to the workshop...
I just tried the polyurethane glue for the first time. Titebond brand (all that is avalible in this small town), is it something I did wrong or should I just...
I enjoyed your story about you and your niece. Those times are valuable and important for family and I am sure you both will never forget it. I have an 8 year...
Hey Wiz - I know that some members here swear by Poly and others swear at it. I myself use almost exclusively Tite-Bond II yellow wood glue. I do however clamp...
Poly glue is powerful stuff, it will actually force the wood apart if you dont clamp the heck out of it. Titebond II or epoxy would be a better bet if you have...
Wiz, I use both kinds.On my exotic hard woods I use poly, I still haven't grown fond of it though. You have to clamp heck out of it. Sounds like ya did all...
Buy clamps. If you have a blank in the square form you should clamp on the edges directly over the glue seam. Poly glue needs to be a tight seam because when...
Ah yes, kids and their Dad's or Mom's tools. It's a battle that has gone on for generations. I can remember flipping my Dad's screwdrivers like a knife into ...
Wiz and other guys,<br>I just joined the club and never made a flute. But, I have made period furniture, chiefly Chippendale stuff but also other styles from...
Hi to all the group. I too have been lurking in the shadows for a few days now. I am a woodworker for a time and a scrollsawer. I have yet to make my first...
One Apple limb floothpick and one floothpick in the works being posted. Our new dog seems to think that anything she can reach is fair game to use as a...
The Native Americans knew all about hide glues. They made incredibly strong bows by gluing sinew to the back of the bow limbs. They used this and other natural...
Thanks for the help with the glue problem. <br><br>Dusty, I never would have thought of the foaming action spreading the joint. Just bought new clamps and will...
In my work in the theater we used hide glue in making flats (canvas to wood) and as the vehicle in powered paints. It was the nastiest crap there is. It has to...
I use tite-bond 2 . Does the trick for me so far. But I've only made 2.5 flutes lololol . I <br>use c clamps and wait bout 24 hours before I<br>start...
Thought I would add my voice to the mix. I have now made about 12 NAFs and I always used titebondII with pretty good results. The one thing that bugged me was...
Hi everyone. I just wanted to quickly re-introduce myself. My name is Jon Norris. I'm from Holly Springs, NC...right outside Raleigh. I'm a graphic artist and...
