just before christmas i picked up a feed bag full of cartridges from a shoot,and having made watertight stash pots i wondered what to do next and i came up with the idea of making a whistle out of one and here is how i did it:
any size cartridge will do:
next cut a v slot on the top thus:
next get a dowel,stick or turn a bit of wood to the correct size to fit into the shell end ,not tight and not loose then slice a small fiple off the wood,ie a flat surface about 1/8 of the thickness of the wood:
now push in till the end of the wood is flush with the flat side of the v cut:
now to secure the wood either glue or pin in place:
and here it is,a good shrill pitch and easy to make:
now will some one tell my kids to stop blowing them!
